Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for routing a Diameter message are disclosed. According to one method, the method occurs at a Diameter routing node. The method includes receiving, from a Diameter routing controller (DRC) via a software defined network (SDN) related interface, Diameter routing information, wherein the Diameter routing information is determined using application layer information. The method also includes routing a Diameter message using the Diameter routing information.
Claims19
A method for routing a Diameter message, the method comprising:
- at a Diameter routing node:
- receiving, from a Diameter routing controller (DRC) via a software defined network (SDN) related interface, Diameter routing information, wherein the Diameter routing information is determined using application layer information;
- and
- routing a Diameter message using the Diameter routing information.
A system for routing a Diameter message, the system comprising:
- a Diameter routing node comprising:
- a software defined network (SDN) related interface configured to receive, from a Diameter routing controller (DRC), Diameter routing information, wherein the Diameter routing information is determined using application layer information;
- and
- a routing module configured to route a Diameter message using the Diameter routing information.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in the computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
- receiving, from a Diameter routing controller (DRC) via a software defined network (SDN) related interface, Diameter routing information, wherein the Diameter routing information is determined using application layer information;
- and
- routing a Diameter message using the Diameter routing information.
