Patent ID: 8825060

Claim:
A method for dynamically learning Diameter binding information, the method comprising: receiving one or more Diameter signaling messages, wherein the one or more Diameter signaling messages include identification information; determining whether a Diameter binding record is associated with the identification information; in response to determining that no Diameter binding record is associated with the identification information, routing, by a Diameter routing node, the one or more Diameter signaling messages to one or more network service nodes; receiving one or more response messages associated with the one or more Diameter signaling messages; determining, based on information contained in the one or more response messages, whether at least one of the one or more network service nodes was able to successfully process the one or more Diameter signaling messages; generating, in response to determining that at least one of the one or more network service nodes was able to successfully process at least one of the one or more Diameter signaling messages, a Diameter binding record that associates the identification information and the at least one of the one or more network service nodes; and storing the Diameter binding record in a Diameter binding repository (DBR).
