Diameter Signaling Controller
What is a Diameter Signaling Controller? One definition found in the journal by Exact Ventures describes the DSC as being" a new signaling infrastructure that can accommodate the increase in demand while still satisfying requirements for cost effectiveness, scalability, and security. DSC products adhere to a number of industry standards and can fulfill the role of several logical network entities within a given use-case, namely: • 3GPP Release 8 Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) • GSMA (GSM Association) IR.88 Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) • IETF’s RFC 3588 Diameter agent DSC functionality can exist in standalone products as well as be integrated into existing products or product platforms. For example, a subset of DSC functionality, typically DRA, can be integrated into a  Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) platform in order to satisfy a specific use case, such as PCRF session binding and/or load balancing".
