Summary

In B3G core networks, applications such as the Call Session Control Functions (CSCF), frequently need to access user data. However, the data sets are distributed over several database servers, necessitating a lookup system that locates queried data. The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate a P2P-based architecture to provide these specific lookup functions for subscriber data in B3G core networks. The envisioned system needs to cope with the given performance constraints while offering additional advantages over the state-of-the-art solution. The scope of the performance evaluation varies from small-scale systems to large providers.
