METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR IMPLEMENTING INTELLIGENT POLICY AND CHARGING RULES FUNCTION (PCRF) OVERLOAD CONTROL

摘要

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for implementing intelligent PCRF overload control. A method may be performed at a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) including at least one processor. The method includes receiving an indication of a first overload level for at least a first PCRF of a plurality of PCRFs and determining, from the first overload level, a first routing rule for routing message traffic to the first PCRF. The method further includes receiving message traffic requiring processing by the first PCRF and performing a first action specified by the first routing rule to accept the message traffic, reject the message traffic, or send a response on behalf of the first PCRF.

1. A method for implementing intelligent Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) overload control, the method comprising:
at a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) including at least one processor:
receiving an indication of a first overload level for at least a first PCRF of a plurality of PCRFs;determining, from the first overload level, a first routing rule for routing message traffic to the first PCRF;receiving message traffic requiring processing by the first PCRF; andperforming a first action specified by the first routing rule to accept the message traffic, reject the message traffic, or send a response on behalf of the first PCRF.
