Methods, systems, and computer readable media for distributing diameter network management information
First Claim
1. A subscription based method for distributing Diameter network management information, the method comprising:
- at a first Diameter node functioning as a Diameter network management proxy;
obtaining Diameter network management subscription information;
obtaining Diameter network management information;
determining, using the Diameter network management subscription information, whether at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive obtained the Diameter network management information; and
in response to determining that the at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information, sending the obtained Diameter network management information to the at least one second Diameter node;
wherein obtaining the Diameter network management information includes testing, by the first Diameter node, a third Diameter node for availability or status of Diameter level communications.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for distributing Diameter network management information are disclosed. According to one method, a first Diameter node obtains Diameter network management subscription information. The first Diameter node obtains Diameter network management information. The first Diameter node determines, using the Diameter network management subscription information, whether at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained Diameter network management information. In response to determining that the at least one second Diameter node is subscribed to receive the obtained network management information, the first Diameter node sends the obtained Diameter network management information to the at least one second Diameter node.
