1. A method for dynamically load sharing signaling messages among mated signaling destinations in response to changes in network operating conditions, the method comprising:

  • (a) defining a group of signaling destinations as a load sharing (LS) group;

    (b) assigning each member of the LS group a nominal load sharing weight (LSW) and a maximum load sharing weight threshold (MWT);

    (c) in response to a LS group member becoming unavailable to receive signaling message traffic, distributing the LSW associated with the unavailable member among the remaining available members in a manner such that the MWT thresholds associated with each of the remaining available members are not exceeded; and

    (d) load sharing received signaling message traffic destined for a member of the LS group in accordance with each available group member'"'"'s LSW.
