1. A method for indicating routing capacity related data or routing delay related data via signalling messages in a core network of a telecommunications network using Diameter messages of a Diameter protocol,
wherein the core network comprises a first Diameter enabled network node, a second Diameter enabled network node, a third Diameter enabled network node and a fourth Diameter enabled network node, wherein, according to a first routing alternative, a target network node is accessible to the first Diameter enabled network node via the third Diameter enabled network node, and, according to a second routing alternative, the target network node or a further target network node is accessible to the first Diameter enabled network node via the fourth Diameter enabled network node, wherein the method comprises: transmitting a first piece of routing capacity related information from the first Diameter enabled network node to the second Diameter enabled network node, and transmitting second piece of routing capacity related information from the first Diameter enabled network node to the second Diameter enabled network node, wherein the first and second pieces of routing capacity related information are transmitted by at least one Diameter message, wherein the first piece of routing capacity related information comprises aggregated routing capacity data or aggregated routing delay data related to the first routing alternative, and wherein the second piece of routing capacity related information comprises aggregated routing capacity data or aggregated routing delay data related to the second routing alternative. |
