Abstract
A system and method for monitoring a communication network is provided. The method includes capturing network data from network traffic of the communication network by a plurality of probes monitoring the communication network. The method further includes detecting by lightweight analysis a data packet of the captured network data that includes information related to a transactional procedure failure transacted by an end-user device and determining an identity of the end-user device. The method further includes sharing the identity of the end-user device with other probes of the plurality of probes, adding the end-user device's identity to respective whitelists associated with the probes of the plurality of probes, and performing, for end-user device identities included in the respective whitelists, detailed analysis of network data during a predetermined time period.
