Diameter Route Group configuration elements

Table 3-19 describes the fields on the Route Groups View, Insert, and Edit pages. Data Input Notes only apply to the Insert and Edit pages; the View page is read-only.

Note:

Any request for a list of Route Groups does not include any dynamically-created route group instances.

When you select a Peer Node from a Peer Route Group or Connections from a Connection Route Group, you can specify to pass over Connections that have too high of a DOIC loss rate.
