Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for multi-protocol stateful routing are provided. One method of routing is performed at a multi-protocol stateful router and includes receiving a first message of a client session that is communicated using a first protocol. The method includes obtaining, from the first message, one or more client identifiers, determining a policy server that is assigned to the client session, and storing the one or more client identifiers and a policy server identifier that is associated with the policy server assigned to the client session as a multi-protocol binding record. The method also includes receiving a second message that is communicated using a second protocol that is different from the first protocol, using the multi-protocol binding record to determine that the second message is in the client session, and route the second message to the policy server that is assigned to the client session.
