Table 2-29 Application Routing Rules Configuration Elements

Field (* indicates required field)	Description	Data Input Notes
* Rule Name	Name of the Application Routing Rule. The Name must be unique.	Format: text box; case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); cannot start with a digit and must contain at least one alpha (A-Z, a-z) Range: 1 - 32 characters
* Priority	Priority of the rule in relation to other rules. The lower the priority number, the higher a priority an application routing rule has. That is, the application routing rule with a priority set to 1 has first priority, the application routing rule with a priority set to 2 has second priority, and so on.	Format: text box; numeric Range: 1 - 1000
* Conditions	Conditions associated with this rule. Each condition has three parts: Parameter Operator Value
	Parameter: Destination-Realm Destination-Host Application-ID Command-Code Origin-Realm Origin-Host	Format: Operator and value for each parameter
	Operator: Sets the relationship between the parameter and the value. For example, if the operator is set to equals then the diameter message parameter must match the set value.	Format: List Range: See Application Routing Rule Operators for a description of operators available for each parameter. Default: -Select-
	Value: The value in the diameter message that the application routing rule uses to determine a match. The value field is required when the operator is equals, starts with, and ends with. The value field is disabled for the operators present, absent, and always true.	Format: text box or list Destination-Realm and Origin-Realm Destination-Host and Origin-Host Application-ID Command-Code Note: An ECC is a command code that also takes into account the value of a specific AVP for that command code that gives the true command type (for example, CCR-I, CCR-U, and so on). Range: One or more parameters with operator and value for each parameter Default for Application-ID and Command Code: -Select-
* Application Name	Application Name associated with this rule.	Format: List Range: All activated applications Default: -Select-
Action	The action that happens if the diameter message matches the conditions set in the application routing rule: Route to Application routes the message to the associated application. Forward To Egress Routing forwards the message to PRT. Send Answer abandons message routing and sends an answer response containing the required result-code value to associated application. Abandon With No Answer discards the message routing and no answer is sent to the associated peer. Forward to Application Route Table forwards the message to the specified ART. Forward to Peer Route Table forwards the message to the specified PRT.	Format: options Range: Route to Application, Forward to Egress Routing, Send Answer, and Abandon With No Answer, Forward to Application Route Table, or Forward to Peer Route Table Default: Route to Application
