AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
During cluster upgrades, there is a potential mismatch of session data at the standby and spare instances compared to the active instance, due to staggered or rate-limited session validation, leading to issues like data mismatches and inefficient failover mechanisms.
Method used
The use of a delta auditor time in conjunction with an auditor timer to identify and remove stale sessions across all instances in the cluster, ensuring consistent and up-to-date session data without explicit notifications or errors.
Benefits of technology
This approach enhances system reliability by maintaining data integrity and consistency across all instances, reduces the likelihood of data mismatches during upgrades, and optimizes resource utilization by efficiently managing stale sessions.

Abstract
The system (108) and method (500) for managing session data of a network function is disclosed The method (500) includes receiving (502) at least one request for managing a session data in a cluster of the network function. The method (500) includes determining (504) whether a flag associated with the session data is one of a true flag or a false flag. Responsive to determining the flag is true, the method (500) includes triggering (506) an auditor timer for synchronization of the session data. Responsive to determining the flag is false, the method (500) includes calculating (508) a new value for the auditor timer based on a refresh time and current time of the session data. The method (500) includes triggering (510) the auditor timer with the calculated new value to maintain synchronized session data across one or more of the active instance, the spare instance, and the standby instance.
