+ <p>
+ RFC 6733 2.4 requires a node to send the application
+ identifiers of all locally supported applications at

+ the common application, and diameter itself will send
+ D[WP][RA] without the common application having been
+ explicitly advertised. Regarding the common application

+ Dictionaries using @custom_types or @codecs will need to

+ was required to remove various process dictionary-based
+ workarounds that have been used to solve problems in the

+ Add transport options to avoid deadlock and allow for
+ load regulation.</p>
+ <p>
+ Both diameter_tcp and diameter_sctp now accept two new
+ configuration options: sender and message_cb. The former
+ causes outgoing sends to take place in a dedicated
+ process, to avoid the possibility of deadlock when both
+ the transport process and its peer block in send. The
+ latter allows a callback to control the reading of
+ messages on the socket, to allow for backpressure towards
+ peers when the rate of incoming traffic is greater than
+ can otherwise be handled.</p>
+ <p>
+ Neither of these options are yet documented, but are
+ unlikely to change unless problems are discovered. The
+ sender option is not the default since it should probably
+ always be used in combination with message_cb, to prevent
+ incoming requests from being read at a higher rate than a
+ peer allows outgoing answers to be sent.</p>
