Abstract

Enhanced routing of an authentication, authorization, or accounting-related (AAA) message between a local access network being accessed by a roaming mobile terminal and a home service network is described. A list of one or more intermediary service networks use in routing an AAA message between the mobile terminal and the home service network is generated or retrieved and stored. The list is used in routing the AAA message, whether originated from the local access network or originated from the home network.
