LIMITATION OF SIGNALING MESSAGES TO A POLICY CONTROLLER OF A NETWORK

摘要

A node (36′; 50) generates messages to be sent to a policy controller (30). Further, the node (36′; 50) determines a load value. The load value represents a number of the messages which are sent from the node (36′; 50) to the policy controller in a given time interval. In response to the load value reaching a threshold, the node (36′; 50) limits sending of at least one of the messages to the policy controller.
