Abstract:
1. A method for creating subscriber records in a GPRS network, comprising: creating, by a first monitoring probe that monitors data packets from a first GPRS network interface, a first subscriber record using information from first data packets captured by the first monitoring probe from the first GPRS network interface; comparing, by a second monitoring probe that monitors data packets from a second GPRS network interface, the first subscriber record with information in second data packers captured by the second monitoring probe from the second GPRS network interface; if the second data packets are associated with the first subscriber record, then adding information from the second data packets to the first subscriber record; if the second data packets are not associated with the first subscriber record, then creating a second subscriber record using information in the second data packets; adding information from data packets captured from a third GPRS network interface to the first subscriber record to create an updated first subscriber record; comparing the updated first subscriber record with the second subscriber record; and combining the updated first subscriber record and the second subscriber record to create a merged subscriber record.
