Abstract:
Systems and methods for scalable and iterative deep packet inspection for communication networks are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a home network and a visitor network in communication with the home network over an Internetwork packet exchange. The visitor network may have an intercept area with an intercept probe, a local packet data network gateway (PGW) and a local proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF). The system further includes a diameter edge agent that monitors signaling traffic in the visitor network passing to and from the home network. The system also has a targeting system in communication with the diameter edge agent that redirects the signaling traffic from the home PGW to the visiting PGW.
