1. A method for source peer capacity-based Diameter load sharing, the method comprising:

  • at a network element for processing Diameter messages received from a Diameter peer;

    requesting information regarding a Diameter message capacity requirement of the Diameter peer;

    receiving information regarding the Diameter message capacity requirement of the Diameter peer;

    using the received information to load share the processing;

    wherein the network element includes a plurality of message processors for processing Diameter messages and wherein using the received information to load share the processing includes using the received information to load share the processing among the plurality of message processors; and

    wherein using the received information to load share the processing among the plurality of message processors includes using a message processor capacity table (MCT) for maintaining, for each message processor of the network element, a Diameter message capacity of the respective message processor.
