Diameter Agents Simple Explanation
by Diameter protocol defines various nodes for specific purposes which are often known as Diameter Agents. These agents are designed to distribute administrations of a system including maintenance of security mechanism. These Agents can also be used for load balancing via routing the diameter protocol messages based on some routing algorithms.
They can also do some sort of processing of diameter protocol messages to forward messages towards the target in a complex network which contains a large number of nodes.
Diameter Agents can be divided into two groups:
