The performance of a scalable computing environment in a telecommunication network may be improved by configuring a server computing system to monitor a level of traffic throughput within the telecommunication network to determine whether an increase in throughput capacity is needed or a decrease in throughput capacity is acceptable, and increasing a throughput capacity of the telecommunication network when an increase in throughput capacity is needed by adding a logical scalable unit to the telecommunication network. The logical scalable unit may including a minimum combination of logical components required to provide in a single multiprocessor system a complete set of telecommunication functionalities for a subset of users in the telecommunication network.

System and method for seamless horizontal scaling using logical scalable units

Systems and computing devices may be configured to intelligently and dynamically allocate quotas for the access and use of a telecommunications network by consumers that use a shared balance account. The dynamic allocation of quotas may include computing a total reclaimable quota size value in response to determining that quota may not be allocated to a first consumer from the shared account balance without exceeding a balance threshold, reclaiming all or portions of currently active allocated quotas from a other consumers that use the shared balance account in response to determining that the total reclaimable quota size value is greater than or equal to the minimum quota allocation size, updating the shared account balance to include the reclaimed portions, and allocating quota to the first consumer from the updated shared balance account.

A combination of a common key routing (CKR) method and data proxy architecture (DPA) method may be used to route communication messages in a telecommunication network to achieve improved data locality and reduce secondary key lookups. A processor in a multiprocessor computing system may receive a first communication message that includes subscriber identifiers that uniquely identify a subscriber, generate a common key based on the subscriber identifiers, identify a first logical scalable unit that includes a first database memory that stores subscriber data relating to the subscriber via a database application programming interface (API) and the common key, store the first communication message in the first database memory included in the first logical scalable unit, and receive a second communication message in response to storing the first communication message in the first database memory and routing the second communication message to another component the telecommunication network.

A combination of a common key routing (CKR) method and a data locality table (DLT) method may be used to route communication messages in a telecommunication network to achieve improved data locality and reduce secondary key lookups. A processor in a multiprocessor computing system may receive a first communication message that includes subscriber identifiers that uniquely identify a subscriber, generate a common key based on the subscriber identifiers included in the first communication message, and identify a first logical scalable unit that includes a first database memory that stores subscriber data relating to the subscriber by querying a data locality table with the common key. The processor may also identify a first application processor in the multiprocessor computing system that is part of the first logical scalable unit and send the first communication message to the first application processor.

A combination of an independent key routing (IKR) method and a data proxy architecture (DPA) method may be used to route communication messages in a telecommunication network to achieve improved data locality and reduce secondary key lookups. A processor may receive a first communication message that includes subscriber identifiers that uniquely identify a subscriber, generate a plurality of keys for a plurality of message types, identify a first logical scalable unit (LSU) that includes a first memory that stores a first type of data via a database API and a first key, identify a second LSU that includes a second memory that stores a second type of data relating to the subscriber via the database API and a second key of the plurality of keys, store the first communication message and the first key in the first database memory, and store the first key in the second database memory.
