METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PERFORMING STATEFUL DIAMETER ROUTING WITH DIAMETER ROUTING AGENTS THAT USE DIFFERENT MECHANISMS TO ACHIEVE STATEFUL ROUTING

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for performing stateful Diameter routing with Diameter routing agents (DRAs) using different mechanisms to achieve stateful routing are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for performing stateful Diameter routing with DRAs that use different mechanisms to achieve stateful routing includes a set of Diameter signaling routing nodes. Each node has access to at least one database for maintaining state information. The nodes are configured to be members of a first group, where each member of the first group is configured to use a first mechanism to achieve stateful routing with other members of the first group, and to use a second mechanism to achieve stateful routing with nodes that are not members of the first group. Members of the first group include signaling nodes provided by a same vendor, and members not in the group include signaling nodes provided by a different vendor.

1. A system for performing stateful Diameter routing with Diameter routing agents that use different mechanisms to achieve stateful routing, the system comprising:
a plurality of Diameter signaling routing nodes, each node having access to at least one of a plurality of databases for maintaining state information, wherein at least some of the plurality of nodes are configured to be members of a first group; and wherein each member of the first group is configured to use a first mechanism to achieve stateful routing with other members of the first group, and to use a second mechanism to achieve stateful routing with nodes that are not members of the first group.
