Method, apparatus, and computer program product for reducing session related message size

摘要

An apparatus for reducing session related message size includes a processing element. The processing element may be configured to determine a domain-wide unique identifier and generate a message including a first field for identifying a message sequence associated with the message and a second field including a tag. The second field including the tag may be associated with an identifier of a source or recipient of the message. At least one of the first and second fields may be without data. The processing element may be further configured to include, in the message, a third field comprising at least the domain-wide unique identifier. The third field may be associated with data otherwise intended for the first and second fields.

1. A method comprising steps of:
identifying, by a terminal of a network, data for a first field and a second field for a message header of a message to be sent in a protocol in which the first field is for data identifying a message sequence associated with the message and the second field is for a tag associated with an identifier of a source or a recipient of the message; and generating, by the network terminal, the message such that at least one of the first or second fields of the message header for the message is without data, and data is included in a third field of the message header, the data in the third field comprising at least a domain-wide unique identifier that is based at least in part on the data identified for the at least one of the first or second fields that is without data.
