LTE Diameter Traffic Calculator

Welcome to the Diametriq Diameter Traffic Calculator™. You can use this interactive model to create your own “what if” scenarios by changing several parameter values based on your unique network and subscriber base, such as number of LTE devices, number of active applications, percent prepaid and dormancy. See how only slight changes to some of the values have a dramatic effect on the amount of traffic produced. You can even see the traffic generated for various core network entities like the HSS, PCRF and OCS. Feel free to play with this tool and change the parameter values as you wish.  A report will be generated based on your input showing the amount of signaling traffic at various points in your EPC network. 

Find out how we created this model by downloading the associated whitepaper:  Measuring the Explosion of LTE Signaling Traffic - A Diameter Traffic Model.   You can also request a customized signaling traffic model with additional parameters and a higher degree of precision by clicking the “Request More Information” button to the right.

    Interesting model. I see that the HSS typically processes the lion’s share of the Diameter signaling traffic and the amount of traffic where the HSS is involved is highly correlated to the number of mobile apps and the average “dormancy” period for those apps.

    Shouldn’t the mobile network operators and the app stores provide better rules and guidelines for app developers to minimize the number of connections, tear downs and reconnections so as not to flood the network? It seems to me that LTE requires careful app development for both device performance and reducing network traffic. With the new iPhone 5, is Apple even looking at new developer rules and mandates to help mitigate the problem?
