Abstract
A method and apparatus for traffic management in dual proxy deployment communication networks. The method includes retrieving and storing by a first function acting as an ingress proxy dual proxy rules associated with a UE ID, and generating by the first function an associated traffic correlation identifier based on the dual proxy rules. The method also includes transmitting by the first function via an egress proxy the associated traffic correlation identifier to an AS, transmitting by the AS a request to apply traffic management actions to the first function, wherein the request includes the associated traffic correlation identifier, and performing, by the first function and based on the associated traffic correlation identifier, a traffic management action.
Claims22
A method for traffic management in a dual proxy deployment network comprising:
- retrieving and storing by a first function acting as an ingress proxy dual proxy rules associated with a user equipment, UE, identification, ID;
- generating by the first function an associated traffic correlation identifier based on the dual proxy rules;
- transmitting by the first function via an egress proxy the associated traffic correlation identifier to an Application Server, AS;
- transmitting by the AS a request to apply traffic management actions to the first function, wherein the request includes the associated traffic correlation identifier;
- and
- performing by the first function and based on the associated traffic correlation identifier, a traffic management action.
(canceled)
A dual proxy deployment network, the network comprising a first function acting as an ingress proxy dual proxy, the first function comprising processing circuitry and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions, an egress proxy comprising processing circuitry and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions, and an Application Server (204), AS, comprising processing circuitry and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions;
- the first function being configured to retrieve and store rules associated with a user equipment UE, identification, ID, generate an associated traffic correlation identifier based on the dual proxy rules, and transmit by the first function via the egress proxy the associated traffic correlation identifier to the AS;
- the AS being configured to transmit a request to apply traffic management actions to the first function, wherein the request includes the associated traffic correlation identifier;
- and
- the first function being further configured to perform, based on the associated traffic correlation identifier, a traffic management action.
