can big ip make load balancing based on diameter sessions?

I want to make load balancing based on Diameter sessions over a fixed number of Servers. Each Server then handles the whole Diameter session.

Hi Michael, as mentioned by iheartF5 :-) there is a deployment guide for LTM. You don't need an addon license for that, it is part of LTM.

 

Of course, it is for pure basic load balancing, without any "rewriting" or DRA/DEA functions. If you need a more complex management of DIAMETER traffic and use cases, then you should better go with Traffix SDC, which is a different platform/solution (still F5 solution of course) and will better fit in DIAMETER architectures.
