Methods, systems, and computer readable media for distributing diameter network management information

A subscription-based system for distributing Diameter network management information, the system comprising:

• a first Diameter node functioning as a Diameter network management proxy, the first Diameter node including:
• a Diameter network management subscription management module configured to obtain Diameter network management subscription information;
• a Diameter network management module configured to obtain Diameter network management information;
• wherein the Diameter network management subscription management module is configured to determine, using the network management subscription information, whether the at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information;
• wherein the Diameter network management module is configured to, in response to a determination that the second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information, send the obtained Diameter network management information to the at least one second Diameter node;
• and
• wherein the first Diameter node is configured to test a third Diameter node for Diameter level communications availability or status.

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

• at a first Diameter node functioning as a Diameter network management proxy:
• obtaining Diameter network management subscription information;
• obtaining Diameter network management information;
• determining, using the Diameter network management subscription information, whether at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information;
• and
• in response to determining that the at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information, sending the obtained Diameter network management information to the at least one second Diameter node;
• wherein obtaining the Diameter network management information includes testing, by the first Diameter node, a third Diameter node for availability or status of Diameter level communications.
