2.21.4 Application Routing Rules Configuration
An Application Routing Rule defines message routing to a diameter application based on message content matching the Application Routing Rule's conditions.
If the redirect ART instance is not configured, redirect processing skips ART evaluation for the redirected request, and it goes directly to PRT evaluation. If the redirect ART is configured, redirect processing searches for that ART and performs ART evaluation of the redirect request.

When a Diameter message matches the conditions of an Application Routing Rule then message is routed to the diameter application specified in the rule.
Application Routing Rules are assigned a priority in relation to other Application Routing Rules. A message is handled based on the highest priority routing rule that it matches. The lower the number an Application Routing Rule is assigned the higher priority it has. (1 is highest priority and 1000 is lowest priority.)
One or more diameter applications must be activated before Application Routing Rules can be configured.
- Filter the list of Rule Names to display only the desired Rules.
- Sort the list entries in ascending or descending order
by Rule Name, Priority, or Application Name by clicking the column heading.
By default, the list is sorted by Priority in ascending ASCII order. The lowest Priority value indicates the highest priority. For Rules with the same Priority, the Rule Name is used for sorting.
