3.4 MPs

A Diameter Agent Message Processor (DA-MP) is a computer or blade hosting the Diameter base protocol and one or more DSR Applications. Multiple DA-MPs are supported in a DSR system.

An MP Profile defines maximum and threshold values for an MP. An MP Profile must be assigned to each DA-MP in the system configuration. Select the appropriate MP Profile according to the hardware and application or applications that are running on the MP, as shown in Table 3-2.

Note:

The profiles listed in Table 3-2 and that appear on the MPs GUI pages might not include all of the profiles that are available for all Oracle Communications products. Product-specific profiles and instructions for assigning them are included in the Installation Guide for each product.

MPs Profiles Elements describes the user-configurable and engineering-configured values in an MP Profile.

Note:

The Ingress Message Rate Alarm Threshold values for the PCA application are user-configurable on the NOAM Policy and Charging, and then Configuration, and then Congestion Options page; they are not shown in MPs Profiles Elements.
