Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a first telecommunications event and associated first event data; extracting one or more fields of data from the first event data; generating a single data string from the extracted one or more fields of data; utilizing a hash function to create a first event signature corresponding to the single data string from the extracted one or more fields of data; extracting a first event signature hint from the first event signature, the first event signature hint including a portion of the first event signature; determining whether the first event signature hint exists in a signature hint hash table; responsive to determining that the first event signature hint does not exist in the signature hint hash table, storing the first event signature hint in the signature hint hash table and storing the first event data associated with the first telecommunications event in a telecommunications event storage; responsive to determining that the first event signature hint exists in the signature hint hash table, determining whether the first telecommunications event is identical to a previously received second telecommunications event stored in the telecommunications event storage; and responsive to determining that the first telecommunications event is identical to the previously received second telecommunications event stored in the telecommunications event storage, designating the first telecommunications event and the second telecommunications event as a duplicate event.
