METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR BALANCING DIAMETER MESSAGE TRAFFIC RECEIVED OVER LONG-LIVED DIAMETER CONNECTIONS
First Claim
1. A workload balancer for Diameter message traffic received long-lived Diameter connections, the workload balancer comprising:
- at least one connection front end processor for terminating Diameter connections with external Diameter nodes; and
a plurality of back end processors for performing application or routing processing for Diameter messages received over the Diameter connections, wherein the at least one connection front end processor load shares Diameter messages received over existing Diameter connections among the back end processors.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a workload balancer for balancing message traffic received over long-lived Diameter connections are disclosed. One exemplary workload balancer includes at least one connection front end processor for terminating Diameter connections with external nodes. The workload balancer further includes a plurality of Diameter back end processors for performing application or routing processing for the Diameter messages received over the Diameter connections. The at least one connection front end processor load shares Diameter messages received over existing Diameter connections among the back end processors.
