  • STATE INFORMATION OFFLOADING FOR DIAMETER AGENTS
    Publication number: 20160156729
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method, by a proxy agent, for establishing a communication session between a first and a second communicating entity over the proxy agent in a communication network. This session comprises a plurality of messages which are exchanged between the first communicating entity and the proxy agent and the proxy agent and the second communicating entity. The proxy agent inserts session information to a first message received by the first or the second communicating entity. The proxy agent then sends the first message to the first or the second communicating entity. The proxy agent then receives a second message by the first or the second communicating entity. This second message contains the session information which is then analysed by the proxy agent. Based on this session information the proxy agent sends a third message to the first or the second communicating entity.
