Abstract
A Diameter Routing Agent detects a communication failure with a first policy server, and responsively transfers a policy request to a second policy server identifying a data communication session, the communication failure with the first policy server, a first communication policy, a session requirement, and a user communication device. The second policy server responsively processing the identification of the data communication session and the communication failure with the first policy server to accept policy control of the data communication session for the user communication device and transferring a second policy response to the Diameter Routing Agent indicating a second communication policy for the data communication session based on the user communication device and the session requirement. The data communication network exchanges additional user data with the user communication device based on the second communication policy.
