Abstract
Systems and methods for providing centralized subscriber session state information are provided. The system includes multiple local session state store servers associated with one or more access control servers and a global location store. When access to a network is attempted, the local session state store server receives an access request message and creates a local session state store record, including a user identifier and information associated with the requested session. The local session state store server also transmits a location message to the global location store. Upon receipt of the location message, the global location store creates a record including the user identifier and a network address for the local session state store server having the session state information for the user. An application requiring user session information can access the global location store and the multiple local session state store servers via a common application programming interface.
