Method for load balancing of requests' processing of diameter servers

摘要

A system, computer readable medium and method of load balancing of requests between Diameter-enabled network devices is disclosed. Processing occurs at a signal controller in communication with a first Diameter-enabled network device and a second Diameter-enabled network device, request handling capacity of at least the second Diameter-enabled network device. One or more tokens are allocated for inbound requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device to the second Diameter-enabled network device. The second Diameter-enabled network device is notified of the one or more allocated tokens for handling a corresponding number of requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device. Transmission of the corresponding number of requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device to the second Diameter-enabled network device is coordinated by the signal controller.

主权项

1. A method of load balancing of requests between Diameter-enabled network devices, the method comprising:
processing, by a signal controller device in communication between at least a first Diameter-enabled network device and a second Diameter-enabled network device, a request for a handling capacity of at least the second Diameter-enabled network device; allocating, by the signal controller device, one or more tokens for inbound requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device to the second Diameter-enabled network device; notifying, by the signal controller device, the second Diameter-enabled network device when at least one of the one or more tokens are allocated for handling a corresponding number of requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device; and coordinating, by the signal controller device, transmission of the corresponding number of requests from the first Diameter-enabled network device to the second Diameter-enabled network device.
