Abstract:
1. A method for routing Diameter messages using a Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) based on origination information, the method comprising: receiving, at an ingress Diameter message processor associated with a DSR, a Diameter message from a first Diameter node; accessing, using the ingress Diameter message processor, Diameter peer routing information that includes Diameter origination information to determine a second Diameter node that is a peer of the DSR and to which the Diameter message is to be forwarded, wherein accessing the Diameter peer routing information includes accessing the Diameter origination information to determine an egress Diameter message processor associated with the second Diameter node from among a plurality of egress Diameter message processors within the DSR, wherein Diameter origination information includes a Diameter origination realm parameter and a Diameter origination host parameter; and forwarding the Diameter message to the determined second Diameter node via the determined egress Diameter message processor.
