Abstract
Examples herein redirect a message intended for a subscriber from a non-registered component to a home component. Examples disclose receiving, by the non-registered component, a message intended for the subscriber. The non-registered component is a component at which the subscriber did not register to gain network access. The non-registered component processes a data attribute within a profile corresponding to that subscriber. The data attribute indicates a home component at which the subscriber is registered to gain network access. The non-registered component redirects the message intended for the subscriber to the home component based on the data attribute.
Claims16
A method, executable by a networking device to redirect messages to a home component, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a non-registered component at which a subscriber did not register to gain network access, a message configured for delivery to the subscriber;
- processing, by the non-registered component, a data attribute, populated by a home component, within a subset of a profile corresponding to the subscriber, that indicates the home component at which the subscriber is registered to gain network access;
- and
- based on the data attribute, redirecting the message from the non-registered component to the home component;
- attaching the subscriber to the network;
- registering the subscriber at the home component within the network;
- wherein registering the subscriber at the home component within the network comprises:
- populating the data attribute with an address to the home component;
- wherein processing the data attribute, within the profile corresponding to that subscriber, that indicates the home component comprises:
- in response to an absent data attribute, updating the data attribute, within the profile of the subscriber, indicating the home component of the subscriber.
A system comprising:
- a home component within a network to:
- register a subscriber for gaining network access;
- based on the registration, populate a data attribute within a profile corresponding to the subscriber that indicates an address of the home component;
- transmit a subset of the populated data attribute to other components within the network such that the other components are capable of redirecting, to the home component, a message configured for delivery to the subscriber;
- and
- maintain a full version of the profile;
- and
- a non-registered component, at which the subscriber remains unregistered, within the network to:
- receive the message;
- process the data attribute, within a profile corresponding to the subscriber;
- and
- redirect the message from the non-registered component to the home component;
- wherein the home component is configured to attach the subscriber to the network,
- register the subscriber at the home component within the network;
- wherein registering the subscriber at the home component within the network comprises:
- populating the data attribute with an address to the home component;
- wherein processing the data attribute, comprises:
- in response to an absent data attribute, updating the data attribute, within the profile of the subscriber, indicating the home component of the subscriber.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processing resource cause a computing device to:
- register a subscriber at a home component within a network for gaining access to the network;
- based on the registration, populate a profile corresponding to the subscriber with a data attribute indicating an address of the home component;
- transmit a subset of the populated profile to other components within the network such that the other components are capable of redirecting, to the home component, a message configured for delivery to the subscriber;
- and
- maintain a full version of the populated profile;
- attach the subscriber to the network;
- wherein populating the profile corresponding to the subscriber with a data attribute indicating an address of the home component comprises:
- in response to an absent data attribute, updating the data attribute, within the profile of the subscriber, indicating the home component of the subscriber.
