Methods, systems, and computer readable media for routing a redirected request message

A system comprising:

• a Diameter signaling router (DSR) including a plurality of message processors;
• the message processors including at least a first message processor for receiving a Diameter request message, for applying ingress message processing to a Diameter request message received from a peer node, and for forwarding the Diameter request message to a Diameter redirect agent in accordance to the ingress message processing;
• and
• a redirection manager for receiving, from the Diameter redirect agent, a redirection notification message containing redirection information, modifying the Diameter request message to include the redirection information, and for applying the ingress message processing to the modified Diameter request message within the DSR.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:

• in a Diameter signaling router (DSR) including a plurality of message processors:
• applying ingress message processing to a Diameter request message received from a peer node;
• forwarding the Diameter request message to a Diameter redirect agent in accordance to the ingress message processing;
• receiving, from the Diameter redirect agent, a redirection notification message containing redirection information;
• modifying the Diameter request message to include the redirection information;
• and
• applying the ingress message processing to the modified Diameter request message within the DSR.
