Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing local application routing at a Diameter node are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving, at an ingress Diameter message processor associated with a Diameter signaling router (DSR), a Diameter message from a first Diameter node. The method further includes accessing, using the ingress Diameter message processor, Diameter peer routing information to determine an egress Diameter message processor among a plurality of egress Diameter message processors within the DSR and associated with a second Diameter node that is a peer of the DSR and to which the Diameter message is to be forwarded. The method also includes forwarding the Diameter message to the determined egress Diameter message processor.
