GigaSMART Diameter S6a Correlation

Diameter is an application layer protocol used in the GTP Mobile Infrastructure for authentication, authorization and accounting. The Diameter protocol uses SCTP protocol (and also TCP protocol). Thousands of diameter transactions occur every second on a relatively low network segment. Therefore, it is important to load balance the diameter transactions to the diameter processing probes (that have a finite capacity).
