Changing the architecture of the Ericsson Billing Gateway application has shown to solve the problem with dynamic memory management that decreased the performance. The new architecture that is focused on processes instead of threads showed increased performance. It also allowed for the possibility to adjust the process / thread configuration towards the network topology and hardware. Measurements of different configurations showed the importance of an accurate configuration and also that certain guidelines could be established based on the results.
