    摘要: This disclosure relates to supporting handling of state information for a stateful network function of a communication network. The network function of the communication network is provided by a network function environment including a set of network function instances configured to provide the network function, a scheduler configured to receive messages of subscribers of the communication network and to distribute the messages to the network function instances for processing by the network functions instances in accordance with the network function, and a state information storage device configured to store state information of the subscribers. The network function instances are configured to temporarily store state information of the subscribers locally at the network function instances while subscribers are associated with the network function instances and to transfer state information of the subscribers to the state information storage device when the subscribers are no longer associated with the network function instances.

    摘要: A session bundle allocation capability enables dynamic allocation of bundles of sessions being handled by a network element to modules of the network element (e.g., modules such as processing modules configured to perform one or more of traffic processing, traffic switching, and like functions). A bundle of sessions may be allocated by associating a plurality of sessions to form thereby a bundle of sessions, and assigning the bundle of sessions to a processing module group including one or more processing modules configured for processing traffic for the sessions of the bundle of sessions. A bundle of sessions may have a bundle identifier associated therewith and may be migrated from a first processing module group to a second processing module group by changing a mapping of the bundle identifier from being associated with the first processing module group to being associated with the second processing module group.
