METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING DIAMETER SIGNALING ROUTER WITH FIREWALL FUNCTIONALITY
First Claim
1. A system for Diameter routing and firewall filtering, the system comprising:
- a Diameter signaling router, comprising;
a network interface for receiving, from a first Diameter node, a first Diameter message having Diameter information;
a firewall module for determining whether the first Diameter message satisfies a firewall policy, wherein the firewall policy is based on at least a portion of the Diameter information in the first Diameter message; and
a routing module for forwarding at least a portion of the first Diameter message towards a second Diameter node in response to the first Diameter message satisfying the firewall policy.

Abstract
According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for Diameter routing and firewall filtering. The system includes a Diameter signaling router comprising a network interface for receiving, from a first Diameter node, a first Diameter message having Diameter information. The Diameter signaling router also includes a firewall module for determining whether the first Diameter message satisfies a firewall policy. The firewall policy is based on at least a portion of the Diameter information in the first Diameter message. The Diameter signaling router further includes a routing module for forwarding at least a portion of the first Diameter message towards a second Diameter node in response to the first Diameter message satisfying the firewall policy.
