Claim 12:
13. A computer system for monitoring a telecommunication network, comprising:
a VM smart cluster device coupled to the telecommunication network for receiving a packet and being configured to extract metadata from the packet to identify subscriber information for the received packet, wherein the metadata includes an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and an international mobile station equipment identity software version (IMEI-SV) information utilized to generate Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) data;
a plurality of VMs operatively coupled to the VM smart cluster device for distributing the packet to one of the plurality of VMs to balance the load amongst the plurality of VMs based upon prescribed load balancing criteria such that each packet received for an identified subscriber is sent to a same VM for performing load balancing on a per subscriber basis, wherein each of the plurality of VMs is configured to generate key performance indicator (KPI) session related data associated with a subscriber.
