Real-time transaction synchronization among peer authentication systems in a telecommunications network environment

A system for mirroring transaction data in real-time within a network environment, comprising:

• a plurality of authentication subsystems, each authentication subsystem having a data storage subsystem and a processor, said processor configured to receive a service request from a network user, to authenticate said network user with said network environment in accordance with said service request, said service request causing a state stored within said data storage subsystem and related to said network user to change, said processor further operative to transmit a mirror request in real-time within said network environment, to receive another mirror request from another authentication subsystem of said plurality of authentication subsystems, and to allow said processor to subsequently authenticate said network user within said network environment in accordance with said other mirror request,
• wherein said mirror request is transmitted within said network environment when a particular authentication subsystem determines that said service request will require that said plurality of authentication subsystems are to be mirrored.
