Original Abstract Submitted
an internal flow traffic controller of a multi-core processing system redirects packets among a plurality of processing cores with stateful flow awareness. the packets belong to flows of network traffic at a packet forwarding node of a 5g network or beyond. the internal flow traffic controller may include a memory storing computer-executable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions. the internal flow traffic controller is configured to distribute new incoming flows of network traffic to one of the plurality of processing cores; identify, based on an imbalance among the plurality of processing cores, an overloaded processing core to rebalance; identify a subject flow to move from the overloaded processing core; identify a target processing core with a lowest utilization; and migrate processing of the subject flow from the overloaded processing core to the target processing core.
