Egress Message Throttling Configuration Sets provide a mechanism for managing egress message traffic on a Diameter Connection. You can create an Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set with a maximum allowable Egress Message Rate (EMR) and one to three pairs of EMR Threshold Throttles and Abatement Throttles.
When the Egress Message Rate on a connection exceeds a Threshold Throttle value, the EMR congestion level for the connection is raised. When the Egress Message Rate on a connection falls below an Abatement Threshold, the EMR congestion level is lowered. Specifying a Convergence time and Abatement time allows you to control the transitions between EMR congestion levels. The EMR congestion level, along with the Egress Transport congestion level and the Remote Busy congestion level is used to control traffic on a connection.
The options are described in Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set elements. Each connection can reference a single Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set.
