Diameter Routing Message Priority

Overview

RFC 7944, “Diameter Routing Message Priority”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2016 by S. Donovan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

When making routing and resource allocation decisions, Diameter nodes currently have no generic mechanism to determine the relative priority of Diameter messages. This document addresses this by defining a mechanism to allow Diameter endpoints to indicate the relative priority of Diameter transactions. With this information, Diameter nodes can factor that priority into routing, resource allocation, and overload abatement decisions.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
