Abstract
A method and apparatus for assigning the same sequence number ('SN') to multiple messages using a global index pool and non-standard source ports ('NSPs') are disclosed. After generating a global index pool containing multiple indexes, the process, in one embodiment, generates a set of NSPs for a network device. Upon creating a first SN for a general packet radio service tunneling protocol (“GTP”) message between peer-to-peer communications, the SN is stored in a first field of a first index. The process subsequently inserts a socket address used for indexing or addressing one of the NSPs in a second field of the first index.
