  • Methods, systems, and computer readable media for control plane traffic filtering in a control and user plane separation (CUPS) environment
    Patent number: 11039338
    Abstract: According to one method for control plane traffic filtering in a control and user plane separation (CUPS) environment, the method occurs at a network node implemented using at least one processor and at least one memory. The method includes receiving, from one or more sources, network location information associated with a first network location; receiving control plane messages for different network locations; filtering the control plane messages based on the network location information; and sending traffic including data from the filtered control plane messages to at least one network tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Correlating tapped general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) and non-GTP packets for a subscriber's session for load balancing and filtering monitored traffic in a mobile network
    Patent number: 10278087
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for correlating, load balancing and filtering tapped GTP and non-GTP packets. One method for correlating, load balancing and filtering tapped GTP and non-GTP packets includes receiving GTP packets tapped from a plurality of GTP network tap points. The method further includes receiving non-GTP packets tapped from at least one non-GTP network tap point. The method further includes correlating GTP packets with non-GTP packets for a particular subscriber. The method further includes forwarding the GTP packets and non-GTP packets correlated for the particular subscriber to a network monitoring tool.
