METHOD FOR INDICATING ROUTING CAPACITY RELATED DATA OR ROUTING DELAY RELATED DATA BY MEANS OF SIGNALLING MESSAGES IN A CORE NETWORK OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK USING DIAMETER MESSAGES, A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

A method for indicating routing capacity related data or routing delay related data via signalling messages in a core network of a telecommunications network using Diameter messages of a Diameter protocol includes: transmitting a first piece of routing capacity related information from a first Diameter enabled network node to a second Diameter enabled network node, and transmitting a second piece of routing capacity related information from the first Diameter enabled network node to the second Diameter enabled network node. The first and second pieces of routing capacity related information are transmitted by at least one Diameter message, wherein the first piece of routing capacity related information comprises aggregated routing capacity data or aggregated routing delay data related to a first routing alternative, and the second piece of routing capacity related information comprises aggregated routing capacity data or aggregated routing delay data related to a second routing alternative.
