+The table below summarizes the diameter application's compliance with
+&the_rfc;.
+Since the diameter application isn't a Diameter node on its own,
+compliance is strictly the responsibility of the user in many cases,
+diameter providing the means for the user to be compliant
+rather than being compliant on its own.</p>

<p>
-There is no explicit support for peer discovery (section 5.2).
-It can possibly be implemented on top of diameter as is but this is
-probably something that diameter should do.</p>

+The Compliance column notes <em>C</em> (Compliant) if the required
+functionality is implemented, <em>PC</em> (Partially Compliant) if
+there are limitations, <em>NC</em> (Not Compliant) if functionality is
+not implemented, or a dash if text is informational or only places

-<item>
<p>
-The peer state machine's election process (section 5.6.4) isn't
-implemented as specified since it assumes knowledge of a
-peer's Origin-Host before sending it a CER. (The identity becoming known
-upon reception of CEA.)
-The possibility of configuring
-the peer's Origin-Host could be added, along with handling of the case
-that it sends something else, but for many applications this will
-just be unnecessary configuration of a value that it has no control over.</p>
-</item>
-<!-- Transport protocol plus address/port, which we do know when
- sending and receiving CER, is enough to definitely identify

-
-
-1. Introduction
-
- Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) protocols such as
- TACACS [RFC1492] and RADIUS [RFC2865] were initially deployed to
- provide dial-up PPP [RFC1661] and terminal server access. Over time,
- AAA support was needed on many new access technologies, the scale and
- complexity of AAA networks grew, and AAA was also used on new
- applications (such as voice over IP). This led to new demands on AAA
- protocols.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Note that diameter implements the Diameter protocol as defined in
-&the_rfc;.
-It also supported the previous version of the protocol, as defined in
-RFC 3588, when there are differences.
-(Which will be noted below.)
-It does not support RADIUS.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Network access requirements for AAA protocols are summarized in
- Aboba, et al. [RFC2989]. These include:
-
- Failover
-
- [RFC2865] does not define failover mechanisms and, as a result,
- failover behavior differs between implementations. In order to
- provide well-defined failover behavior, Diameter supports
- application-layer acknowledgements and defines failover algorithms
- and the associated state machine.
-</pre>
-
-&nada;
-
-<pre>
-
- Transmission-level security
-
- RADIUS [RFC2865] defines an application-layer authentication and
- integrity scheme that is required only for use with response
- packets. While [RFC2869] defines an additional authentication and
- integrity mechanism, use is only required during Extensible
- Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748] sessions. While attribute
- hiding is supported, [RFC2865] does not provide support for per-
- packet confidentiality. In accounting, [RFC2866] assumes that
- replay protection is provided by the backend billing server rather
- than within the protocol itself.
-
- While [RFC3162] defines the use of IPsec with RADIUS, support for
- IPsec is not required. In order to provide universal support for
- transmission-level security, and enable both intra- and inter-
- domain AAA deployments, Diameter provides support for TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP. Security is discussed in Section 13.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Whether or not IPsec is used is transparent to diameter.</p>
-
-<p>
-The transport protocol used on a given peer connection is also
-transparent to diameter in that transport to diameter is simply a
-module that implements the transport protocol documented in
-&man_transport;.
-A diameter user configures this module as the &mod_transport_opt;
-<c>transport_module</c>.</p>
-
-<p>
-While a user can implement their own transport modules, diameter
-includes implementations for TCP and SCTP:
-&man_tcp; based on &gen_tcp; and &man_sctp; based on &gen_sctp;.
-The former supports TLS but the latter does not currently support
-DTLS.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Reliable transport
-
- RADIUS runs over UDP, and does not define retransmission behavior;
- as a result, reliability varies between implementations. As
- described in [RFC2975], this is a major issue in accounting, where
- packet loss may translate directly into revenue loss. In order to
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- provide well-defined transport behavior, Diameter runs over
- reliable transport mechanisms (TCP, Stream Control Transmission
- Protocol (SCTP)) as defined in [RFC3539].
-
- Agent support
-
- RADIUS does not provide for explicit support for agents, including
- proxies, redirects, and relays. Since the expected behavior is
- not defined, it varies between implementations. Diameter defines
- agent behavior explicitly; this is described in Section 2.8.
-</pre>
-
-&nada;
-
-<pre>
-
- Server-initiated messages
-
- While server-initiated messages are defined in RADIUS [RFC5176],
- support is optional. This makes it difficult to implement
- features such as unsolicited disconnect or re-authentication/
- re-authorization on demand across a heterogeneous deployment. To
- address this issue, support for server-initiated messages is
- mandatory in Diameter.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-A diameter user can both send and receive messages.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Transition support
-
- While Diameter does not share a common protocol data unit (PDU)
- with RADIUS, considerable effort has been expended in enabling
- backward compatibility with RADIUS so that the two protocols may
- be deployed in the same network. Initially, it is expected that
- Diameter will be deployed within new network devices, as well as
- within gateways enabling communication between legacy RADIUS
- devices and Diameter agents. This capability enables Diameter
- support to be added to legacy networks, by addition of a gateway
- or server speaking both RADIUS and Diameter.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-RADIUS Attributes can be redefined as Diameter AVP's using diameter's
-&man_dict; interface but diameter provides no such definitions.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- In addition to addressing the above requirements, Diameter also
- provides support for the following:
-
- Capability negotiation
-
- RADIUS does not support error messages, capability negotiation, or
- a mandatory/non-mandatory flag for attributes. Since RADIUS
- clients and servers are not aware of each other's capabilities,
- they may not be able to successfully negotiate a mutually
- acceptable service or, in some cases, even be aware of what
- service has been implemented. Diameter includes support for error
- handling (Section 7), capability negotiation (Section 5.3), and
- mandatory/non-mandatory Attribute-Value Pairs (AVPs)
- (Section 4.1).
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Peer discovery and configuration
-
- RADIUS implementations typically require that the name or address
- of servers or clients be manually configured, along with the
- corresponding shared secrets. This results in a large
- administrative burden and creates the temptation to reuse the
- RADIUS shared secret, which can result in major security
- vulnerabilities if the Request Authenticator is not globally and
- temporally unique as required in [RFC2865]. Through DNS, Diameter
- enables dynamic discovery of peers (see Section 5.2). Derivation
- of dynamic session keys is enabled via transmission-level
- security.
-
- Over time, the capabilities of Network Access Server (NAS) devices
- have increased substantially. As a result, while Diameter is a
- considerably more sophisticated protocol than RADIUS, it remains
- feasible to implement it within embedded devices.
-</pre>

-<pre>
-
-1.1. Diameter Protocol
-
- The Diameter base protocol provides the following facilities:
-
- o Ability to exchange messages and deliver AVPs
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-There are two interfaces directly involved in message exchange when
-using diameter: the function &mod_call; for sending outgoing requests,
-and the application callback interface, documented in &man_app; for
-receiving incoming request and answers.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Capabilities negotiation
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Capabilities negotiation is the responsibility of diameter:
-a user configures a diameter service and/or transport with
-&capabilities; to provide AVP values for CER and CEA messages but it
-is diameter itself that sends these messages.
-A user receives notification of a successful capabilities exchange by
-way of &app_peer_up; callbacks.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Error notification
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-A user can subscribe to &events;, using &mod_subscribe;, in order to
-receive notification of various failures.
-Errors in Diameter messaging are communicated via the application
-callbacks &app_handle_request;, &app_handle_answer; and
-&app_handle_error;.</p>
-
-
-<pre>
-
- o Extensibility, required in [RFC2989], through addition of new
- applications, commands, and AVPs
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Support for applications, commands and AVP's is extensible using
-diameter's dictionary interface, as documented in &man_dict;.
-Dictionaries are compiled to Erlang encode/decode modules using
-&man_compile; or &man_make;.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Basic services necessary for applications, such as the handling of
- user sessions or accounting
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Compiled dictionaries are provided for the RFC 3588 and RFC 6733
-Diameter applications: common, base accounting and relay.
-Dictionaries for a number of standardized
-applications are provided in uncompiled form below the <c>examples</c>
-subdirectory of the diameter application directory.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- All data delivered by the protocol is in the form of AVPs. Some of
- these AVP values are used by the Diameter protocol itself, while
- others deliver data associated with particular applications that
- employ Diameter. AVPs may be arbitrarily added to Diameter messages,
- the only restriction being that the Command Code Format (CCF)
- specification (Section 3.2) be satisfied. AVPs are used by the base
- Diameter protocol to support the following required features:
-
- o Transporting of user authentication information, for the purposes
- of enabling the Diameter server to authenticate the user
-
- o Transporting of service-specific authorization information,
- between client and servers, allowing the peers to decide whether a
- user's access request should be granted
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o Exchanging resource usage information, which may be used for
- accounting purposes, capacity planning, etc.
-
- o Routing, relaying, proxying, and redirecting of Diameter messages
- through a server hierarchy
-
- The Diameter base protocol satisfies the minimum requirements for a
- AAA protocol, as specified by [RFC2989]. The base protocol may be
- used by itself for accounting purposes only, or it may be used with a
- Diameter application, such as Mobile IPv4 [RFC4004], or network
- access [RFC4005]. It is also possible for the base protocol to be
- extended for use in new applications, via the addition of new
- commands or AVPs. The initial focus of Diameter was network access
- and accounting applications. A truly generic AAA protocol used by
- many applications might provide functionality not provided by
- Diameter. Therefore, it is imperative that the designers of new
- applications understand their requirements before using Diameter.
- See Section 1.3.4 for more information on Diameter applications.
-
- Any node can initiate a request. In that sense, Diameter is a peer-
- to-peer protocol. In this document, a Diameter client is a device at
- the edge of the network that performs access control, such as a
- Network Access Server (NAS) or a Foreign Agent (FA). A Diameter
- client generates Diameter messages to request authentication,
- authorization, and accounting services for the user. A Diameter
- agent is a node that does not provide local user authentication or
- authorization services; agents include proxies, redirects, and relay
- agents. A Diameter server performs authentication and/or
- authorization of the user. A Diameter node may act as an agent for
- certain requests while acting as a server for others.
-
- The Diameter protocol also supports server-initiated messages, such
- as a request to abort service to a particular user.

-
-1.1.1. Description of the Document Set
-
- The Diameter specification consists of an updated version of the base
- protocol specification (this document) and the Transport Profile
- [RFC3539]. This document obsoletes both RFC 3588 and RFC 5719. A
- summary of the base protocol updates included in this document can be
- found in Section 1.1.3.
-
- This document defines the base protocol specification for AAA, which
- includes support for accounting. There are also a myriad of
- applications documents describing applications that use this base
- specification for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting.
- These application documents specify how to use the Diameter protocol
- within the context of their application.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The Transport Profile document [RFC3539] discusses transport layer
- issues that arise with AAA protocols and recommendations on how to
- overcome these issues. This document also defines the Diameter
- failover algorithm and state machine.
-
- "Clarifications on the Routing of Diameter Request Based on the
- Username and the Realm" [RFC5729] defines specific behavior on how to
- route requests based on the content of the User-Name AVP (Attribute
- Value Pair).
-
-1.1.2. Conventions Used in This Document
-
- The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
- "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
- document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

-
-<pre>
-
-1.1.3. Changes from RFC 3588
-
- This document obsoletes RFC 3588 but is fully backward compatible
- with that document. The changes introduced in this document focus on
- fixing issues that have surfaced during the implementation of
- Diameter (RFC 3588). An overview of some the major changes are given
- below.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-RFC 6733 is not fully backwards compatible with RFC 3588.
-(For example, in what values of Result-Code values are permissible with
-the E-bit.)
-The implications of incompatibilities for diameter are noted where
-appropriate.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Deprecated the use of the Inband-Security AVP for negotiating
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246]. It has been generally
- considered that bootstrapping of TLS via Inband-Security AVP
- creates certain security risks because it does not completely
- protect the information carried in the CER/CEA (Capabilities-
- Exchange-Request/Capabilities-Exchange-Answer). This version of
- Diameter adopts the common approach of defining a well-known
- secured port that peers should use when communicating via TLS/TCP
- and DTLS/SCTP. This new approach augments the existing in-band
- security negotiation, but it does not completely replace it. The
- old method is kept for backward compatibility reasons.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-&man_tcp; supports both methods of negotiating TLS:
-bootstrapping via Inband-Security and directly following connection
-establishment.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Deprecated the exchange of CER/CEA messages in the open state.
- This feature was implied in the peer state machine table of RFC
- 3588, but it was not clearly defined anywhere else in that
- document. As work on this document progressed, it became clear
- that the multiplicity of meaning and use of Application-Id AVPs in
- the CER/CEA messages (and the messages themselves) is seen as an
- abuse of the Diameter extensibility rules and thus required
- simplification. Capabilities exchange in the open state has been
- re-introduced in a separate specification [RFC6737], which clearly
- defines new commands for this feature.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Capabilities exchange in the open state is not supported: an incoming
-CER in the open state will cause diameter to ask the relevant
-transport process to terminate, which implies the loss of the peer
-connection in the case of &man_tcp; and &man_sctp;.</p>
-
-<p>
-Capabilities update, as defined by RFC 6737, is not yet supported.
-Support will require diameter to handle CUR/CUA in the same way that
-it handles CER/CEA.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o Simplified security requirements. The use of a secured transport
- for exchanging Diameter messages remains mandatory. However, TLS/
- TCP and DTLS/SCTP have become the primary methods of securing
- Diameter with IPsec as a secondary alternative. See Section 13
- for details. The support for the End-to-End security framework
- (E2E-Sequence AVP and 'P'-bit in the AVP header) has also been
- deprecated.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The End-to-End security framework is not supported since it's use is
-largely unspecified: diameter will set the P-bit in outgoing AVP's as
-directed by the relevant dictionary and/or &app_prepare_request; or
-&app_handle_request; callbacks, but whether or not the P-bit is set on
-incoming AVP's has no consequence.</p>
-
-<p>
-As noted above, DTLS is not currently supported and whether or not
-IPsec is used is transparent to diameter.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o Changed Diameter extensibility. This includes fixes to the
- Diameter extensibility description (Section 1.3 and others) to
- better aid Diameter application designers; in addition, the new
- specification relaxes the policy with respect to the allocation of
- Command Codes for vendor-specific uses.
-
- o Clarified Application Id usage. Clarify the proper use of
- Application Id information, which can be found in multiple places
- within a Diameter message. This includes correlating Application
- Ids found in the message headers and AVPs. These changes also
- clearly specify the proper Application Id value to use for
- specific base protocol messages (ASR/ASA, STR/STA) as well as
- clarify the content and use of Vendor-Specific-Application-Id.
-
- o Clarified routing fixes. This document more clearly specifies
- what information (AVPs and Application Ids) can be used for making
- general routing decisions. A rule for the prioritization of
- redirect routing criteria when multiple route entries are found
- via redirects has also been added (see Section 6.13).
-
- o Simplified Diameter peer discovery. The Diameter discovery
- process now supports only widely used discovery schemes; the rest
- have been deprecated (see Section 5.2 for details).
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Peer discover is not currently supported: peers to which a node should
-connect must be configured.
-Connection requests are accepted from arbitrary peers but a
-&mod_transport_opt; <c>capabilities_cb</c> can be used to reject a
-peer based on an incoming CER or CEA.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- There are many other miscellaneous fixes that have been introduced in
- this document that may not be considered significant, but they have
- value nonetheless. Examples are removal of obsolete types, fixes to
- the state machine, clarification of the election process, message
- validation, fixes to Failed-AVP and Result-Code AVP values, etc. All
- of the errata filed against RFC 3588 prior to the publication of this
- document have been addressed. A comprehensive list of changes is not
- shown here for practical reasons.

- allocation.
-
- Accounting Record
-
- An accounting record represents a summary of the resource

-
- Attribute-Value Pair (AVP)
-
- The Diameter protocol consists of a header followed by one or more
- Attribute-Value-Pairs (AVPs). An AVP includes a header and is
- used to encapsulate protocol-specific data (e.g., routing
- information) as well as authentication, authorization, or

-
- A Diameter Agent is a Diameter node that provides relay, proxy,
- redirect, or translation services.

-
-
- Diameter Client
-
- A Diameter client is a Diameter node that supports Diameter client
- applications as well as the base protocol. Diameter clients are
- often implemented in devices situated at the edge of a network and
- provide access control services for that network. Typical
- examples of Diameter clients include the Network Access Server
- (NAS) and the Mobile IP Foreign Agent (FA).
-
- Diameter Node
-
- A Diameter node is a host process that implements the Diameter
- protocol and acts as either a client, an agent, or a server.
-
- Diameter Peer
-
- Two Diameter nodes sharing a direct TCP or SCTP transport
- connection are called Diameter peers.
-
- Diameter Server
-
- A Diameter server is a Diameter node that handles authentication,
- authorization, and accounting requests for a particular realm. By
- its very nature, a Diameter server must support Diameter server
- applications in addition to the base protocol.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-A Diameter Node is implemented by configuring a service
-using &mod_start_service; and one or more transports using
-&mod_add_transport;.
-The service typically represents a Diameter Node but since
-capabilities can be configured on individual transports it's more
-accurate to say that the node is a collection of transports
-advertising the same Origin-Host.</p>
-
-<p>
-The role of a node (agent, client or server) is not something that's
-configured explicitly.
-Transports are either connecting or listening, depending on whether
-diameter should establish a peer connection and send CER or accept
-connections and receive CER, but the role a node implements depends
-largely on dictionary configuration and &man_app; callback
-implementation.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Downstream
-
- Downstream is used to identify the direction of a particular
- Diameter message from the home server towards the Diameter client.
-
- Home Realm
-
- A Home Realm is the administrative domain with which the user
- maintains an account relationship.
-
- Home Server
-
- A Diameter server that serves the Home Realm.
-
- Interim Accounting
-
- An interim accounting message provides a snapshot of usage during
- a user's session. Typically, it is implemented in order to
- provide for partial accounting of a user's session in case a
- device reboot or other network problem prevents the delivery of a
- session summary message or session record.

-
-
- Local Realm
-
- A local realm is the administrative domain providing services to a
- user. An administrative domain may act as a local realm for
- certain users while being a home realm for others.
-
- Multi-session
-
- A multi-session represents a logical linking of several sessions.
- Multi-sessions are tracked by using the Acct-Multi-Session-Id. An
- example of a multi-session would be a Multi-link PPP bundle. Each
- leg of the bundle would be a session while the entire bundle would
- be a multi-session.
-
- Network Access Identifier
-
- The Network Access Identifier, or NAI [RFC4282], is used in the
- Diameter protocol to extract a user's identity and realm. The
- identity is used to identify the user during authentication and/or
- authorization while the realm is used for message routing
- purposes.
-
- Proxy Agent or Proxy
-
- In addition to forwarding requests and responses, proxies make
- policy decisions relating to resource usage and provisioning.
- Typically, this is accomplished by tracking the state of NAS
- devices. While proxies usually do not respond to client requests
- prior to receiving a response from the server, they may originate
- Reject messages in cases where policies are violated. As a
- result, proxies need to understand the semantics of the messages
- passing through them, and they may not support all Diameter
- applications.
-
- Realm
-
- The string in the NAI that immediately follows the '@' character.
- NAI realm names are required to be unique and are piggybacked on
- the administration of the DNS namespace. Diameter makes use of
- the realm, also loosely referred to as domain, to determine
- whether messages can be satisfied locally or whether they must be
- routed or redirected. In RADIUS, realm names are not necessarily
- piggybacked on the DNS namespace but may be independent of it.

-
-
- Real-Time Accounting
-
- Real-time accounting involves the processing of information on
- resource usage within a defined time window. Typically, time
- constraints are imposed in order to limit financial risk. The
- Diameter Credit-Control Application [RFC4006] is an example of an
- application that defines real-time accounting functionality.
-
- Relay Agent or Relay
-
- Relays forward requests and responses based on routing-related
- AVPs and routing table entries. Since relays do not make policy
- decisions, they do not examine or alter non-routing AVPs. As a
- result, relays never originate messages, do not need to understand
- the semantics of messages or non-routing AVPs, and are capable of
- handling any Diameter application or message type. Since relays
- make decisions based on information in routing AVPs and realm
- forwarding tables, they do not keep state on NAS resource usage or
- sessions in progress.
-
- Redirect Agent
-
- Rather than forwarding requests and responses between clients and
- servers, redirect agents refer clients to servers and allow them
- to communicate directly. Since redirect agents do not sit in the
- forwarding path, they do not alter any AVPs transiting between
- client and server. Redirect agents do not originate messages and
- are capable of handling any message type, although they may be
- configured only to redirect messages of certain types, while
- acting as relay or proxy agents for other types. As with relay
- agents, redirect agents do not keep state with respect to sessions
- or NAS resources.

-
-<pre>
-
- Session
-
- A session is a related progression of events devoted to a
- particular activity. Diameter application documents provide
- guidelines as to when a session begins and ends. All Diameter
- packets with the same Session-Id are considered to be part of the
- same session.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Sessions are not something that diameter is aware of.
-The function &mod_session_id; can be used to construct appropriate
-values for Session-Id AVP's but logic connecting events in the same
-session is the responsibility of the diameter user.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Stateful Agent
-
- A stateful agent is one that maintains session state information,
- by keeping track of all authorized active sessions. Each
- authorized session is bound to a particular service, and its state
- is considered active either until it is notified otherwise or
- until expiration.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Sub-session
-
- A sub-session represents a distinct service (e.g., QoS or data
- characteristics) provided to a given session. These services may
- happen concurrently (e.g., simultaneous voice and data transfer
- during the same session) or serially. These changes in sessions
- are tracked with the Accounting-Sub-Session-Id.
-
- Transaction State
-
- The Diameter protocol requires that agents maintain transaction
- state, which is used for failover purposes. Transaction state
- implies that upon forwarding a request, the Hop-by-Hop Identifier
- is saved; the field is replaced with a locally unique identifier,
- which is restored to its original value when the corresponding
- answer is received. The request's state is released upon receipt
- of the answer. A stateless agent is one that only maintains
- transaction state.
-
- Translation Agent
-
- A translation agent (TLA in Figure 4) is a stateful Diameter node
- that performs protocol translation between Diameter and another
- AAA protocol, such as RADIUS.
-
- Upstream
-
- Upstream is used to identify the direction of a particular
- Diameter message from the Diameter client towards the home server.
-
- User
-
- The entity or device requesting or using some resource, in support
- of which a Diameter client has generated a request.
-</pre>

-<pre>
-
-1.3. Approach to Extensibility
-
- The Diameter protocol is designed to be extensible, using several
- mechanisms, including:
-
- o Defining new AVP values
-
- o Creating new AVPs
-
- o Creating new commands
-
- o Creating new applications
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 17]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- From the point of view of extensibility, Diameter authentication,
- authorization, and accounting applications are treated in the same
- way.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Extensibility in diameter is by way of the dictionary interface
-documented in &man_dict;: a diameter user creates applications,
-commands and AVP's by implementing a new dictionary,
-compiling the dictionary to a codec module using &man_compile; or
-&man_make;, and configuring the resulting dictionary module on a
-service.
-The dictionary modules provided with diameter are all implemented in
-this manner.</p>
-
-<pre>
- Note: Protocol designers should try to reuse existing functionality,
- namely AVP values, AVPs, commands, and Diameter applications. Reuse
- simplifies standardization and implementation. To avoid potential
- interoperability issues, it is important to ensure that the semantics
- of the reused features are well understood. Given that Diameter can
- also carry RADIUS attributes as Diameter AVPs, such reuse
- considerations also apply to existing RADIUS attributes that may be
- useful in a Diameter application.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Reuse in dictionary files is achieved by way of the <c>@inherits</c>
-section.
-AVP's are inherited, commands are not.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-1.3.1. Defining New AVP Values
-
- In order to allocate a new AVP value for AVPs defined in the Diameter
- base protocol, the IETF needs to approve a new RFC that describes the
- AVP value. IANA considerations for these AVP values are discussed in
- Section 11.3.
-
- The allocation of AVP values for other AVPs is guided by the IANA
- considerations of the document that defines those AVPs. Typically,
- allocation of new values for an AVP defined in an RFC would require
- IETF Review [RFC5226], whereas values for vendor-specific AVPs can be
- allocated by the vendor.
-
-1.3.2. Creating New AVPs
-
- A new AVP being defined MUST use one of the data types listed in
- Sections 4.2 or 4.3. If an appropriate derived data type is already
- defined, it SHOULD be used instead of a base data type to encourage
- reusability and good design practice.
-
- In the event that a logical grouping of AVPs is necessary, and
- multiple "groups" are possible in a given command, it is recommended
- that a Grouped AVP be used (see Section 4.4).
-
- The creation of new AVPs can happen in various ways. The recommended
- approach is to define a new general-purpose AVP in a Standards Track
- RFC approved by the IETF. However, as described in Section 11.1.1,
- there are other mechanisms.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Creating new AVP's is an issue for the dictionary designer, not
-diameter.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-1.3.3. Creating New Commands
-
- A new Command Code MUST be allocated when required AVPs (those
- indicated as {AVP} in the CCF definition) are added to, deleted from,
- or redefined in (for example, by changing a required AVP into an
- optional one) an existing command.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 18]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Furthermore, if the transport characteristics of a command are
- changed (for example, with respect to the number of round trips
- required), a new Command Code MUST be registered.
-
- A change to the CCF of a command, such as described above, MUST
- result in the definition of a new Command Code. This subsequently
- leads to the need to define a new Diameter application for any
- application that will use that new command.
-
- The IANA considerations for Command Codes are discussed in
- Section 3.1.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Creating new commands is an issue for the dictionary designer, not
-diameter.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-1.3.4. Creating New Diameter Applications
-
- Every Diameter application specification MUST have an IANA-assigned
- Application Id (see Section 2.4). The managed Application ID space
- is flat, and there is no relationship between different Diameter
- applications with respect to their Application Ids. As such, there
- is no versioning support provided by these Application Ids
- themselves; every Diameter application is a standalone application.
- If the application has a relationship with other Diameter
- applications, such a relationship is not known to Diameter.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Creating new applications is an issue for the dictionary designer,
-not diameter.</p>
-
-<p>
-An application's Application Id is specified in the <c>@id</c> section
-of a dictionary file.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Before describing the rules for creating new Diameter applications,
- it is important to discuss the semantics of the AVP occurrences as
- stated in the CCF and the M-bit flag (Section 4.1) for an AVP. There
- is no relationship imposed between the two; they are set
- independently.
-
- o The CCF indicates what AVPs are placed into a Diameter command by
- the sender of that command. Often, since there are multiple modes
- of protocol interactions, many of the AVPs are indicated as
- optional.
-
- o The M-bit allows the sender to indicate to the receiver whether or
- not understanding the semantics of an AVP and its content is
- mandatory. If the M-bit is set by the sender and the receiver
- does not understand the AVP or the values carried within that AVP,
- then a failure is generated (see Section 7).
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The M-bit is set on outgoing AVP's as directed by the relevant
-dictionary.
-For incoming AVP's, an M-bit set on an AVP that isn't
-explicitly included in the definition of the command in question is
-interpreted as a 5001 error, DIAMETER_AVP_UNSUPPORTED, the
-consequences of which depend on the value of the &mod_application_opt;
-<c>answer_errors</c> or <c>request_errors</c>.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- It is the decision of the protocol designer when to develop a new
- Diameter application rather than extending Diameter in other ways.
- However, a new Diameter application MUST be created when one or more
- of the following criteria are met:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- M-bit Setting
-
- An AVP with the M-bit in the MUST column of the AVP flag table is
- added to an existing Command/Application. An AVP with the M-bit
- in the MAY column of the AVP flag table is added to an existing
- Command/Application.
-
- Note: The M-bit setting for a given AVP is relevant to an
- Application and each command within that application that includes
- the AVP. That is, if an AVP appears in two commands for
- application Foo and the M-bit settings are different in each
- command, then there should be two AVP flag tables describing when
- to set the M-bit.
-
- Commands
-
- A new command is used within the existing application because
- either an additional command is added, an existing command has
- been modified so that a new Command Code had to be registered, or
- a command has been deleted.
-
- AVP Flag bits
-
- If an existing application changes the meaning/semantics of its
- AVP Flags or adds new flag bits, then a new Diameter application
- MUST be created.
-
- If the CCF definition of a command allows it, an implementation may
- add arbitrary optional AVPs with the M-bit cleared (including vendor-
- specific AVPs) to that command without needing to define a new
- application. Please refer to Section 11.1.1 for details.

-2. Protocol Overview
-
- The base Diameter protocol concerns itself with establishing
- connections to peers, capabilities negotiation, how messages are sent
- and routed through peers, and how the connections are eventually torn
- down. The base protocol also defines certain rules that apply to all
- message exchanges between Diameter nodes.
-
- Communication between Diameter peers begins with one peer sending a
- message to another Diameter peer. The set of AVPs included in the
- message is determined by a particular Diameter application. One AVP
- that is included to reference a user's session is the Session-Id.
-
- The initial request for authentication and/or authorization of a user
- would include the Session-Id AVP. The Session-Id is then used in all
- subsequent messages to identify the user's session (see Section 8 for
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- more information). The communicating party may accept the request or
- reject it by returning an answer message with the Result-Code AVP set
- to indicate that an error occurred. The specific behavior of the
- Diameter server or client receiving a request depends on the Diameter
- application employed.
-
- Session state (associated with a Session-Id) MUST be freed upon
- receipt of the Session-Termination-Request, Session-Termination-
- Answer, expiration of authorized service time in the Session-Timeout
- AVP, and according to rules established in a particular Diameter
- application.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Like Session-Id, session state is maintained by the diameter user:
-diameter has no session state of its own and does not interpret
-STR/STA in any way.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- The base Diameter protocol may be used by itself for accounting
- applications. For authentication and authorization, it is always
- extended for a particular application.
-
- Diameter clients MUST support the base protocol, which includes
- accounting. In addition, they MUST fully support each Diameter
- application that is needed to implement the client's service, e.g.,
- Network Access Server Requirements (NASREQ) [RFC2881] and/or Mobile
- IPv4. A Diameter client MUST be referred to as "Diameter X Client"
- where X is the application that it supports and not a "Diameter
- Client".
-
- Diameter servers MUST support the base protocol, which includes
- accounting. In addition, they MUST fully support each Diameter
- application that is needed to implement the intended service, e.g.,
- NASREQ and/or Mobile IPv4. A Diameter server MUST be referred to as
- "Diameter X Server" where X is the application that it supports, and
- not a "Diameter Server".
-
- Diameter relays and redirect agents are transparent to the Diameter
- applications, but they MUST support the Diameter base protocol, which
- includes accounting, and all Diameter applications.
-
- Diameter proxies MUST support the base protocol, which includes
- accounting. In addition, they MUST fully support each Diameter
- application that is needed to implement proxied services, e.g.,
- NASREQ and/or Mobile IPv4. A Diameter proxy MUST be referred to as
- "Diameter X Proxy" where X is the application which it supports, and
- not a "Diameter Proxy".

-2.1. Transport
-
- The Diameter Transport profile is defined in [RFC3539].
-
- The base Diameter protocol is run on port 3868 for both TCP [RFC0793]
- and SCTP [RFC4960]. For TLS [RFC5246] and Datagram Transport Layer
- Security (DTLS) [RFC6347], a Diameter node that initiates a
- connection prior to any message exchanges MUST run on port 5658. It
- is assumed that TLS is run on top of TCP when it is used, and DTLS is
- run on top of SCTP when it is used.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Which port a transport connects to or listens on is a matter of
-configuration.
-Both &man_tcp; and &man_sctp; will default to 3868 if no other value
-is specified.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- If the Diameter peer does not support receiving TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP
- connections on port 5658 (i.e., the peer complies only with RFC
- 3588), then the initiator MAY revert to using TCP or SCTP on port
- 3868. Note that this scheme is kept only for the purpose of backward
- compatibility and that there are inherent security vulnerabilities
- when the initial CER/CEA messages are sent unprotected (see
- Section 5.6).
-
- Diameter clients MUST support either TCP or SCTP; agents and servers
- SHOULD support both.
-
- A Diameter node MAY initiate connections from a source port other
- than the one that it declares it accepts incoming connections on, and
- it MUST always be prepared to receive connections on port 3868 for
- TCP or SCTP and port 5658 for TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP connections.
- When DNS-based peer discovery (Section 5.2) is used, the port numbers
- received from SRV records take precedence over the default ports
- (3868 and 5658).
-
- A given Diameter instance of the peer state machine MUST NOT use more
- than one transport connection to communicate with a given peer,
- unless multiple instances exist on the peer, in which, case a
- separate connection per process is allowed.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The &mod_service_opt; <c>restrict_connection</c> controls to what
-extent a diameter service allows multiple connections to the same
-peer.
-(As identified by the value of Origin-Host received from it
-during capabilities exchange.)</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- When no transport connection exists with a peer, an attempt to
- connect SHOULD be made periodically. This behavior is handled via
- the Tc timer (see Section 12 for details), whose recommended value is
- 30 seconds. There are certain exceptions to this rule, such as when
- a peer has terminated the transport connection stating that it does
- not wish to communicate.
-
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The frequency of reconnection attempts is configured with the
-&mod_transport_opt; <c>connect_timer</c> and
-<c>watchdog_timer</c>.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- When connecting to a peer and either zero or more transports are
- specified, TLS SHOULD be tried first, followed by DTLS, then by TCP,
- and finally by SCTP. See Section 5.2 for more information on peer
- discovery.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The order in which different transports are attempted depends on the
-order of &mod_transport_opt; <c>transport_module</c> and
-<c>transport_config</c> tuples in transport configuration.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Diameter implementations SHOULD be able to interpret ICMP protocol
- port unreachable messages as explicit indications that the server is
- not reachable, subject to security policy on trusting such messages.
- Further guidance regarding the treatment of ICMP errors can be found
- in [RFC5927] and [RFC5461]. Diameter implementations SHOULD also be
- able to interpret a reset from the transport and timed-out connection
- attempts. If Diameter receives data from the lower layer that cannot
- be parsed or identified as a Diameter error made by the peer, the
- stream is compromised and cannot be recovered. The transport
- connection MUST be closed using a RESET call (send a TCP RST bit) or
- an SCTP ABORT message (graceful closure is compromised).
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-ICMP messages and other transport-level errors aren't directly
-visible to diameter but transport implementations like &man_tcp; and
-&man_sctp; propagate these as terminating transport processes.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-2.1.1. SCTP Guidelines
-
- Diameter messages SHOULD be mapped into SCTP streams in a way that
- avoids head-of-the-line (HOL) blocking. Among different ways of
- performing the mapping that fulfill this requirement it is
- RECOMMENDED that a Diameter node send every Diameter message (request
- or response) over stream zero with the unordered flag set. However,
- Diameter nodes MAY select and implement other design alternatives for
- avoiding HOL blocking such as using multiple streams with the
- unordered flag cleared (as originally instructed in RFC 3588). On
- the receiving side, a Diameter entity MUST be ready to receive
- Diameter messages over any stream, and it is free to return responses
- over a different stream. This way, both sides manage the available
- streams in the sending direction, independently of the streams chosen
- by the other side to send a particular Diameter message. These
- messages can be out-of-order and belong to different Diameter
- sessions.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-&man_sctp; allows the sender to specify a stream number explicitly.
-The stream on which an incoming message is received it passed to
-&app_handle_request; and &app_handle_answer; callbacks as
-<c>transport_data</c> in a <c>#diameter_packet{}</c>.</p>
-
-<p>
-Ordered or unordered delivery can be configured per transport.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Out-of-order delivery has special concerns during a connection
- establishment and termination. When a connection is established, the
- responder side sends a CEA message and moves to R-Open state as
- specified in Section 5.6. If an application message is sent shortly
- after the CEA and delivered out-of-order, the initiator side, still
- in Wait-I-CEA state, will discard the application message and close
- the connection. In order to avoid this race condition, the receiver
- side SHOULD NOT use out-of-order delivery methods until the first
- message has been received from the initiator, proving that it has
- moved to I-Open state. To trigger such a message, the receiver side
- could send a DWR immediately after sending a CEA. Upon reception of
- the corresponding DWA, the receiver side should start using out-of-
- order delivery methods to counter the HOL blocking.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-&man_sctp; does not currently allow the user to switch between ordered
-and unordered delivery, or to specify the manner of sending per
-message: one or the other must be configured, the defaults being
-ordered.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- Another race condition may occur when DPR and DPA messages are used.
- Both DPR and DPA are small in size; thus, they may be delivered to
- the peer faster than application messages when an out-of-order
- delivery mechanism is used. Therefore, it is possible that a DPR/DPA
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- exchange completes while application messages are still in transit,
- resulting in a loss of these messages. An implementation could
- mitigate this race condition, for example, using timers, and wait for
- a short period of time for pending application level messages to
- arrive before proceeding to disconnect the transport connection.
- Eventually, lost messages are handled by the retransmission mechanism
- described in Section 5.5.4.
-
- A Diameter agent SHOULD use dedicated payload protocol identifiers
- (PPIDs) for clear text and encrypted SCTP DATA chunks instead of only
- using the unspecified payload protocol identifier (value 0). For
- this purpose, two PPID values are allocated: the PPID value 46 is for
- Diameter messages in clear text SCTP DATA chunks, and the PPID value
- 47 is for Diameter messages in protected DTLS/SCTP DATA chunks.
-</pre>
-
-&nada;
-
-<pre>
-
-2.2. Securing Diameter Messages
-
- Connections between Diameter peers SHOULD be protected by TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP. All Diameter base protocol implementations MUST support
- the use of TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP. If desired, alternative security
- mechanisms that are independent of Diameter, such as IPsec [RFC4301],
- can be deployed to secure connections between peers. The Diameter
- protocol MUST NOT be used without one of TLS, DTLS, or IPsec.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-As noted above, DTLS is not currently supported and IPsec usage is
-transparent to diameter.
-Security is not enforced by diameter.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-2.3. Diameter Application Compliance
-
- Application Ids are advertised during the capabilities exchange phase
- (see Section 5.3). Advertising support of an application implies
- that the sender supports the functionality specified in the
- respective Diameter application specification.
-
- Implementations MAY add arbitrary optional AVPs with the M-bit
- cleared (including vendor-specific AVPs) to a command defined in an
- application, but only if the command's CCF syntax specification
- allows for it. Please refer to Section 11.1.1 for details.
-</pre>
-
-&nada;
-
-<pre>
-
-2.4. Application Identifiers
-
- Each Diameter application MUST have an IANA-assigned Application ID.
- The base protocol does not require an Application Id since its
- support is mandatory. During the capabilities exchange, Diameter
- nodes inform their peers of locally supported applications.
- Furthermore, all Diameter messages contain an Application Id, which
- is used in the message forwarding process.

-These applications are implemented in the dictionary modules
-<c>diameter_gen_base_rfc6733</c>, <c>diameter_gen_acct_rfc6733</c> and

-There are also RFC 3588 versions or the common and accounting
-dictionaries: <c>diameter_gen_base_rfc3588</c> and

-(The inconsistent naming is historical.)
-Dictionary modules are configured using the &mod_application_opt;
-<c>dictionary</c>.</p>
-
-<pre>
- Relay and redirect agents MUST advertise the Relay Application ID,
- while all other Diameter nodes MUST advertise locally supported
- applications. The receiver of a Capabilities Exchange message
- advertising relay service MUST assume that the sender supports all
- current and future applications.
-
- Diameter relay and proxy agents are responsible for finding an
- upstream server that supports the application of a particular
- message. If none can be found, an error message is returned with the
- Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER.

-2.5. Connections vs. Sessions
-
- This section attempts to provide the reader with an understanding of
- the difference between "connection" and "session", which are terms
- used extensively throughout this document.
-
- A connection refers to a transport-level connection between two peers
- that is used to send and receive Diameter messages. A session is a
- logical concept at the application layer that exists between the
- Diameter client and the Diameter server; it is identified via the
- Session-Id AVP.

- Figure 1: Diameter Connections and Sessions
-
- In the example provided in Figure 1, peer connection A is established
- between the client and the relay. Peer connection B is established
- between the relay and the server. User session X spans from the
- client via the relay to the server. Each "user" of a service causes
- an auth request to be sent, with a unique session identifier. Once
- accepted by the server, both the client and the server are aware of
- the session.

-
- It is important to note that there is no relationship between a
- connection and a session, and that Diameter messages for multiple
- sessions are all multiplexed through a single connection. Also, note
- that Diameter messages pertaining to the session, both application-
- specific and those that are defined in this document such as ASR/ASA,
- RAR/RAA, and STR/STA, MUST carry the Application Id of the
- application. Diameter messages pertaining to peer connection
- establishment and maintenance such as CER/CEA, DWR/DWA, and DPR/DPA
- MUST carry an Application Id of zero (0).

-
-<p>
-As noted above, diameter is not involved in session management.
-This is the responsibility of the diameter user.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-2.6. Peer Table
-
- The Diameter peer table is used in message forwarding and is
- referenced by the routing table. A peer table entry contains the
- following fields:
-
- Host Identity
-
- Following the conventions described for the DiameterIdentity-
- derived AVP data format in Section 4.3.1, this field contains the
- contents of the Origin-Host (Section 6.3) AVP found in the CER or
- CEA message.
-
- StatusT
-
- This is the state of the peer entry, and it MUST match one of the
- values listed in Section 5.6.
-
- Static or Dynamic
-
- Specifies whether a peer entry was statically configured or
- dynamically discovered.
-
- Expiration Time
-
- Specifies the time at which dynamically discovered peer table
- entries are to be either refreshed or expired. If public key
- certificates are used for Diameter security (e.g., with TLS), this
- value MUST NOT be greater than the expiry times in the relevant
- certificates.
-
- TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP Enabled
-
- Specifies whether TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP is to be used when
- communicating with the peer.
-
- Additional security information, when needed (e.g., keys,
- certificates).
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The Peer Table is not directly accessible to the diameter user.
-Information about connected peers can be retrieved using
-&mod_service_info;.</p>

-
-
-2.7. Routing Table
-
- All Realm-Based routing lookups are performed against what is
- commonly known as the routing table (see Section 12). Each routing
- table entry contains the following fields:
-
- Realm Name
-
- This is the field that MUST be used as a primary key in the
- routing table lookups. Note that some implementations perform
- their lookups based on longest-match-from-the-right on the realm
- rather than requiring an exact match.
-
- Application Identifier
-
- An application is identified by an Application Id. A route entry
- can have a different destination based on the Application Id in
- the message header. This field MUST be used as a secondary key
- field in routing table lookups.
-
- Local Action
-
- The Local Action field is used to identify how a message should be
- treated. The following actions are supported:
-
- 1. LOCAL - Diameter messages that can be satisfied locally and do
- not need to be routed to another Diameter entity.
-
- 2. RELAY - All Diameter messages that fall within this category
- MUST be routed to a next-hop Diameter entity that is indicated
- by the identifier described below. Routing is done without
- modifying any non-routing AVPs. See Section 6.1.9 for
- relaying guidelines.
-
- 3. PROXY - All Diameter messages that fall within this category
- MUST be routed to a next Diameter entity that is indicated by
- the identifier described below. The local server MAY apply
- its local policies to the message by including new AVPs to the
- message prior to routing. See Section 6.1.9 for proxying
- guidelines.
-
- 4. REDIRECT - Diameter messages that fall within this category
- MUST have the identity of the home Diameter server(s)
- appended, and returned to the sender of the message. See
- Section 6.1.8 for redirection guidelines.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 27]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Server Identifier
-
- The identity of one or more servers to which the message is to be
- routed. This identity MUST also be present in the Host Identity
- field of the peer table (Section 2.6). When the Local Action is
- set to RELAY or PROXY, this field contains the identity of the
- server(s) to which the message MUST be routed. When the Local
- Action field is set to REDIRECT, this field contains the identity
- of one or more servers to which the message MUST be redirected.
-
- Static or Dynamic
-
- Specifies whether a route entry was statically configured or
- dynamically discovered.
-
- Expiration Time
-
- Specifies the time at which a dynamically discovered route table
- entry expires. If public key certificates are used for Diameter
- security (e.g., with TLS), this value MUST NOT be greater than the
- expiry time in the relevant certificates.
-
- It is important to note that Diameter agents MUST support at least
- one of the LOCAL, RELAY, PROXY, or REDIRECT modes of operation.
- Agents do not need to support all modes of operation in order to
- conform with the protocol specification, but they MUST follow the
- protocol compliance guidelines in Section 2. Relay agents and
- proxies MUST NOT reorder AVPs.
-
- The routing table MAY include a default entry that MUST be used for
- any requests not matching any of the other entries. The routing
- table MAY consist of only such an entry.
-
- When a request is routed, the target server MUST have advertised the
- Application Id (see Section 2.4) for the given message or have
- advertised itself as a relay or proxy agent. Otherwise, an error is
- returned with the Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Routing does not need specific support in diameter: a user can
-maintain their own routing table if desired and implement any desired
-routing in &man_app; callbacks.
-However, it may be convenient to add more specific routing support to
-diameter in the future.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
-2.8. Role of Diameter Agents
-
- In addition to clients and servers, the Diameter protocol introduces
- relay, proxy, redirect, and translation agents, each of which is
- defined in Section 1.2. Diameter agents are useful for several
- reasons:
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-An noted above, the role a node plays is largely a question of
-configuration and &man_app; callback implementation.</p>
-
-<pre>
-
- o They can distribute administration of systems to a configurable
- grouping, including the maintenance of security associations.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 28]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o They can be used for concentration of requests from a number of
- co-located or distributed NAS equipment sets to a set of like user
- groups.
-
- o They can do value-added processing to the requests or responses.
-
- o They can be used for load balancing.
-
- o A complex network will have multiple authentication sources, they
- can sort requests and forward towards the correct target.
-
- The Diameter protocol requires that agents maintain transaction
- state, which is used for failover purposes. Transaction state
- implies that upon forwarding a request, its Hop-by-Hop Identifier is
- saved; the field is replaced with a locally unique identifier, which
- is restored to its original value when the corresponding answer is
- received. The request's state is released upon receipt of the
- answer. A stateless agent is one that only maintains transaction
- state.
-
- The Proxy-Info AVP allows stateless agents to add local state to a
- Diameter request, with the guarantee that the same state will be
- present in the answer. However, the protocol's failover procedures
- require that agents maintain a copy of pending requests.
-
- A stateful agent is one that maintains session state information by
- keeping track of all authorized active sessions. Each authorized
- session is bound to a particular service, and its state is considered
- active until either the agent is notified otherwise or the session
- expires. Each authorized session has an expiration, which is
- communicated by Diameter servers via the Session-Timeout AVP.
-
- Maintaining session state may be useful in certain applications, such
- as:
-
- o Protocol translation (e.g., RADIUS &lt;-> Diameter)
-
- o Limiting resources authorized to a particular user
-
- o Per-user or per-transaction auditing
-
- A Diameter agent MAY act in a stateful manner for some requests and
- be stateless for others. A Diameter implementation MAY act as one
- type of agent for some requests and as another type of agent for
- others.

-
-2.8.1. Relay Agents
-
- Relay agents are Diameter agents that accept requests and route
- messages to other Diameter nodes based on information found in the
- messages (e.g., the value of the Destination-Realm AVP Section 6.6).
- This routing decision is performed using a list of supported realms
- and known peers. This is known as the routing table, as is defined
- further in Section 2.7.
-
- Relays may, for example, be used to aggregate requests from multiple
- Network Access Servers (NASes) within a common geographical area
- (Point of Presence, POP). The use of relays is advantageous since it
- eliminates the need for NASes to be configured with the necessary
- security information they would otherwise require to communicate with
- Diameter servers in other realms. Likewise, this reduces the
- configuration load on Diameter servers that would otherwise be
- necessary when NASes are added, changed, or deleted.
-
- Relays modify Diameter messages by inserting and removing routing
- information, but they do not modify any other portion of a message.
- Relays SHOULD NOT maintain session state but MUST maintain
- transaction state.

-
- Figure 2: Relaying of Diameter messages
-
- The example provided in Figure 2 depicts a request issued from a NAS,
- which is an access device, for the user [email protected]. Prior to
- issuing the request, the NAS performs a Diameter route lookup, using
- "example.com" as the key, and determines that the message is to be
- relayed to a DRL, which is a Diameter relay. The DRL performs the
- same route lookup as the NAS, and relays the message to the HMS,
- which is example.com's home server. The HMS identifies that the
- request can be locally supported (via the realm), processes the
- authentication and/or authorization request, and replies with an
- answer, which is routed back to the NAS using saved transaction
- state.
-
- Since relays do not perform any application-level processing, they
- provide relaying services for all Diameter applications; therefore,
- they MUST advertise the Relay Application Id.
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Requests are relayed by returning a <c>relay</c> tuple from a

-
-
-2.8.2. Proxy Agents
-
- Similar to relays, proxy agents route Diameter messages using the
- Diameter routing table. However, they differ since they modify
- messages to implement policy enforcement. This requires that proxies
- maintain the state of their downstream peers (e.g., access devices)
- to enforce resource usage, provide admission control, and provide
- provisioning.
-
- Proxies may, for example, be used in call control centers or access
- ISPs that provide outsourced connections; they can monitor the number
- and type of ports in use and make allocation and admission decisions
- according to their configuration.
-
- Since enforcing policies requires an understanding of the service
- being provided, proxies MUST only advertise the Diameter applications
- they support.
-</pre>
-
-&nada;
-
-<pre>
-
-2.8.3. Redirect Agents
-
- Redirect agents are useful in scenarios where the Diameter routing
- configuration needs to be centralized. An example is a redirect
- agent that provides services to all members of a consortium, but does
- not wish to be burdened with relaying all messages between realms.
- This scenario is advantageous since it does not require that the
- consortium provide routing updates to its members when changes are
- made to a member's infrastructure.
-
- Since redirect agents do not relay messages, and only return an
- answer with the information necessary for Diameter agents to
- communicate directly, they do not modify messages. Since redirect
- agents do not receive answer messages, they cannot maintain session
- state.
-
- The example provided in Figure 3 depicts a request issued from the
- access device, NAS, for the user [email protected]. The message is
- forwarded by the NAS to its relay, DRL, which does not have a routing
- entry in its Diameter routing table for example.com. The DRL has a
- default route configured to DRD, which is a redirect agent that
- returns a redirect notification to DRL, as well as the HMS' contact
- information. Upon receipt of the redirect notification, the DRL
- establishes a transport connection with the HMS, if one doesn't
- already exist, and forwards the request to it.

-
-2.8.4. Translation Agents
-
- A translation agent is a device that provides translation between two
- protocols (e.g., RADIUS&lt;->Diameter, TACACS+&lt;->Diameter). Translation
- agents are likely to be used as aggregation servers to communicate
- with a Diameter infrastructure, while allowing for the embedded
- systems to be migrated at a slower pace.
-
- Given that the Diameter protocol introduces the concept of long-lived
- authorized sessions, translation agents MUST be session stateful and
- MUST maintain transaction state.
-
- Translation of messages can only occur if the agent recognizes the
- application of a particular request; therefore, translation agents
- MUST only advertise their locally supported applications.

-2.9. Diameter Path Authorization
-
- As noted in Section 2.2, Diameter provides transmission-level
- security for each connection using TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP. Therefore,
- each connection can be authenticated and can be replay and integrity
- protected.
-
- In addition to authenticating each connection, the entire session
- MUST also be authorized. Before initiating a connection, a Diameter
- peer MUST check that its peers are authorized to act in their roles.
- For example, a Diameter peer may be authentic, but that does not mean
- that it is authorized to act as a Diameter server advertising a set
- of Diameter applications.
-
- Prior to bringing up a connection, authorization checks are performed
- at each connection along the path. Diameter capabilities negotiation
- (CER/CEA) also MUST be carried out, in order to determine what
- Diameter applications are supported by each peer. Diameter sessions
- MUST be routed only through authorized nodes that have advertised
- support for the Diameter application required by the session.
-
- As noted in Section 6.1.9, a relay or proxy agent MUST append a
- Route-Record AVP to all requests forwarded. The AVP contains the
- identity of the peer from which the request was received.
-
- The home Diameter server, prior to authorizing a session, MUST check
- the Route-Record AVPs to make sure that the route traversed by the
- request is acceptable. For example, administrators within the home
- realm may not wish to honor requests that have been routed through an
- untrusted realm. By authorizing a request, the home Diameter server
- is implicitly indicating its willingness to engage in the business
- transaction as specified by any contractual relationship between the
- server and the previous hop. A DIAMETER_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED error
- message (see Section 7.1.5) is sent if the route traversed by the
- request is unacceptable.
-
- A home realm may also wish to check that each accounting request
- message corresponds to a Diameter response authorizing the session.
- Accounting requests without corresponding authorization responses
- SHOULD be subjected to further scrutiny, as should accounting
- requests indicating a difference between the requested and provided
- service.
-
- Forwarding of an authorization response is considered evidence of a
- willingness to take on financial risk relative to the session. A
- local realm may wish to limit this exposure, for example, by
- establishing credit limits for intermediate realms and refusing to
- accept responses that would violate those limits. By issuing an
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- accounting request corresponding to the authorization response, the
- local realm implicitly indicates its agreement to provide the service
- indicated in the authorization response. If the service cannot be
- provided by the local realm, then a DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY error
- message MUST be sent within the accounting request; a Diameter client
- receiving an authorization response for a service that it cannot
- perform MUST NOT substitute an alternate service and then send
- accounting requests for the alternate service instead.

-
- The Message Length field is three octets and indicates the length
- of the Diameter message including the header fields and the padded
- AVPs. Thus, the Message Length field is always a multiple of 4.

- R(equest)
-
- If set, the message is a request. If cleared, the message is
- an answer.
-
- P(roxiable)
-
- If set, the message MAY be proxied, relayed, or redirected. If
- cleared, the message MUST be locally processed.
-
- E(rror)
-
- If set, the message contains a protocol error, and the message
- will not conform to the CCF described for this command.
- Messages with the 'E' bit set are commonly referred to as error
- messages. This bit MUST NOT be set in request messages (see
- Section 7.2).
-
- T(Potentially retransmitted message)
-
- This flag is set after a link failover procedure, to aid the
- removal of duplicate requests. It is set when resending
- requests not yet acknowledged, as an indication of a possible
- duplicate due to a link failure. This bit MUST be cleared when
- sending a request for the first time; otherwise, the sender
- MUST set this flag. Diameter agents only need to be concerned
- about the number of requests they send based on a single
- received request; retransmissions by other entities need not be
- tracked. Diameter agents that receive a request with the T
- flag set, MUST keep the T flag set in the forwarded request.
- This flag MUST NOT be set if an error answer message (e.g., a
- protocol error) has been received for the earlier message. It
- can be set only in cases where no answer has been received from
- the server for a request, and the request has been sent again.
- This flag MUST NOT be set in answer messages.
-
- r(eserved)

- Command Code
-
- The Command Code field is three octets and is used in order to
- communicate the command associated with the message. The 24-bit
- address space is managed by IANA (see Section 3.1). Command Code
- values 16,777,214 and 16,777,215 (hexadecimal values FFFFFE-
- FFFFFF) are reserved for experimental use (see Section 11.2).
-
- Application-ID
-
- Application-ID is four octets and is used to identify for which
- application the message is applicable. The application can be an
- authentication application, an accounting application, or a
- vendor-specific application.
-
- The value of the Application-ID field in the header MUST be the
- same as any relevant Application-Id AVPs contained in the message.
-
- Hop-by-Hop Identifier
-
- The Hop-by-Hop Identifier is an unsigned 32-bit integer field (in
- network byte order) that aids in matching requests and replies.
- The sender MUST ensure that the Hop-by-Hop Identifier in a request
- is unique on a given connection at any given time, and it MAY
- attempt to ensure that the number is unique across reboots. The
- sender of an answer message MUST ensure that the Hop-by-Hop
- Identifier field contains the same value that was found in the
- corresponding request. The Hop-by-Hop Identifier is normally a
- monotonically increasing number, whose start value was randomly
- generated. An answer message that is received with an unknown
- Hop-by-Hop Identifier MUST be discarded.
-
- End-to-End Identifier
-
- The End-to-End Identifier is an unsigned 32-bit integer field (in
- network byte order) that is used to detect duplicate messages.
- Upon reboot, implementations MAY set the high order 12 bits to
- contain the low order 12 bits of current time, and the low order
- 20 bits to a random value. Senders of request messages MUST
- insert a unique identifier on each message. The identifier MUST
- remain locally unique for a period of at least 4 minutes, even
- across reboots. The originator of an answer message MUST ensure
- that the End-to-End Identifier field contains the same value that
- was found in the corresponding request. The End-to-End Identifier
- MUST NOT be modified by Diameter agents of any kind. The
- combination of the Origin-Host AVP (Section 6.3) and this field is
- used to detect duplicates. Duplicate requests SHOULD cause the
- same answer to be transmitted (modulo the Hop-by-Hop Identifier

- field and any routing AVPs that may be present), and they MUST NOT
- affect any state that was set when the original request was
- processed. Duplicate answer messages that are to be locally
- consumed (see Section 6.2) SHOULD be silently discarded.

-3.2. Command Code Format Specification
-
- Every Command Code defined MUST include a corresponding Command Code
- Format (CCF) specification, which is used to define the AVPs that
- MUST or MAY be present when sending the message. The following ABNF
- specifies the CCF used in the definition:
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-The CCF is what is specified in the <c>@messages</c> section of the
-&man_dict; format, except as noted below.</p>
-

-
-<p>
-Angle brackets are currently not allowed here.
-This was a change between RFC 3588 and RFC 6733: the former disallowed
-them in the grammar but included them in its own command definitions.</p>

-3.3. Diameter Command Naming Conventions
-
- Diameter command names typically includes one or more English words
- followed by the verb "Request" or "Answer". Each English word is
- delimited by a hyphen. A three-letter acronym for both the request
- and answer is also normally provided.
-
- An example is a message set used to terminate a session. The command
- name is Session-Terminate-Request and Session-Terminate-Answer, while
- the acronyms are STR and STA, respectively.
-
- Both the request and the answer for a given command share the same
- Command Code. The request is identified by the R(equest) bit in the
- Diameter header set to one (1), to ask that a particular action be
- performed, such as authorizing a user or terminating a session. Once
- the receiver has completed the request, it issues the corresponding
- answer, which includes a result code that communicates one of the
- following:
-
- o The request was successful
-
- o The request failed
-
- o An additional request has to be sent to provide information the
- peer requires prior to returning a successful or failed answer.
-
- o The receiver could not process the request, but provides
- information about a Diameter peer that is able to satisfy the
- request, known as redirect.
-
- Additional information, encoded within AVPs, may also be included in
- answer messages.

-4. Diameter AVPs
-
- Diameter AVPs carry specific authentication, accounting,
- authorization, and routing information as well as configuration
- details for the request and reply.

-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 40]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Each AVP of type OctetString MUST be padded to align on a 32-bit
- boundary, while other AVP types align naturally. A number of zero-
- valued bytes are added to the end of the AVP Data field until a word
- boundary is reached. The length of the padding is not reflected in
- the AVP Length field.
-
-4.1. AVP Header
-
- The fields in the AVP header MUST be sent in network byte order. The
- format of the header is:
-
- 0 1 2 3
- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

- | Vendor-ID (opt) |
- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- | Data ...
- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
-
- AVP Code
-
- The AVP Code, combined with the Vendor-Id field, identifies the
- attribute uniquely. AVP numbers 1 through 255 are reserved for
- reuse of RADIUS attributes, without setting the Vendor-Id field.
- AVP numbers 256 and above are used for Diameter, which are
- allocated by IANA (see Section 11.1.1).
-
- AVP Flags
-
- The AVP Flags field informs the receiver how each attribute must
- be handled. New Diameter applications SHOULD NOT define
- additional AVP Flag bits. However, note that new Diameter
- applications MAY define additional bits within the AVP header, and
- an unrecognized bit SHOULD be considered an error. The sender of
- the AVP MUST set 'R' (reserved) bits to 0 and the receiver SHOULD
- ignore all 'R' (reserved) bits. The 'P' bit has been reserved for
- future usage of end-to-end security. At the time of writing,
- there are no end-to-end security mechanisms specified; therefore,
- the 'P' bit SHOULD be set to 0.
-
- The 'M' bit, known as the Mandatory bit, indicates whether the
- receiver of the AVP MUST parse and understand the semantics of the
- AVP including its content. The receiving entity MUST return an
- appropriate error message if it receives an AVP that has the M-bit
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 41]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- set but does not understand it. An exception applies when the AVP
- is embedded within a Grouped AVP. See Section 4.4 for details.
- Diameter relay and redirect agents MUST NOT reject messages with
- unrecognized AVPs.
-
- The 'M' bit MUST be set according to the rules defined in the
- application specification that introduces or reuses this AVP.
- Within a given application, the M-bit setting for an AVP is
- defined either for all command types or for each command type.
-
- AVPs with the 'M' bit cleared are informational only; a receiver
- that receives a message with such an AVP that is not supported, or
- whose value is not supported, MAY simply ignore the AVP.
-
- The 'V' bit, known as the Vendor-Specific bit, indicates whether
- the optional Vendor-ID field is present in the AVP header. When
- set, the AVP Code belongs to the specific vendor code address
- space.
-
- AVP Length
-
- The AVP Length field is three octets, and indicates the number of
- octets in this AVP including the AVP Code field, AVP Length field,
- AVP Flags field, Vendor-ID field (if present), and the AVP Data
- field. If a message is received with an invalid attribute length,
- the message MUST be rejected.
-
-4.1.1. Optional Header Elements
-
- The AVP header contains one optional field. This field is only
- present if the respective bit-flag is enabled.
-
- Vendor-ID
-
- The Vendor-ID field is present if the 'V' bit is set in the AVP
- Flags field. The optional four-octet Vendor-ID field contains the
- IANA-assigned "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
- [ENTERPRISE] value, encoded in network byte order. Any vendors or
- standardization organizations that are also treated like vendors
- in the IANA-managed "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise
- Codes" space wishing to implement a vendor-specific Diameter AVP
- MUST use their own Vendor-ID along with their privately managed
- AVP address space, guaranteeing that they will not collide with
- any other vendor's vendor-specific AVP(s) or with future IETF
- AVPs.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 42]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- A Vendor-ID value of zero (0) corresponds to the IETF-adopted AVP
- values, as managed by IANA. Since the absence of the Vendor-ID
- field implies that the AVP in question is not vendor specific,
- implementations MUST NOT use the value of zero (0) for the
- Vendor-ID field.
-
-4.2. Basic AVP Data Formats
-
- The Data field is zero or more octets and contains information
- specific to the Attribute. The format and length of the Data field
- is determined by the AVP Code and AVP Length fields. The format of
- the Data field MUST be one of the following base data types or a data
- type derived from the base data types. In the event that a new Basic
- AVP Data Format is needed, a new version of this RFC MUST be created.
-
- OctetString
-
- The data contains arbitrary data of variable length. Unless
- otherwise noted, the AVP Length field MUST be set to at least 8
- (12 if the 'V' bit is enabled). AVP values of this type that are
- not a multiple of 4 octets in length are followed by the necessary
- padding so that the next AVP (if any) will start on a 32-bit
- boundary.
-
- Integer32
-
- 32-bit signed value, in network byte order. The AVP Length field
- MUST be set to 12 (16 if the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
- Integer64
-
- 64-bit signed value, in network byte order. The AVP Length field
- MUST be set to 16 (20 if the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
- Unsigned32
-
- 32-bit unsigned value, in network byte order. The AVP Length
- field MUST be set to 12 (16 if the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
- Unsigned64
-
- 64-bit unsigned value, in network byte order. The AVP Length
- field MUST be set to 16 (20 if the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 43]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Float32
-
- This represents floating point values of single precision as
- described by [FLOATPOINT]. The 32-bit value is transmitted in
- network byte order. The AVP Length field MUST be set to 12 (16 if
- the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
- Float64
-
- This represents floating point values of double precision as
- described by [FLOATPOINT]. The 64-bit value is transmitted in
- network byte order. The AVP Length field MUST be set to 16 (20 if
- the 'V' bit is enabled).
-
- Grouped
-
- The Data field is specified as a sequence of AVPs. These AVPs are
- concatenated -- including their headers and padding -- in the
- order in which they are specified and the result encapsulated in
- the Data field. The AVP Length field is set to 8 (12 if the 'V'
- bit is enabled) plus the total length of all included AVPs,
- including their headers and padding. Thus, the AVP Length field
- of an AVP of type Grouped is always a multiple of 4.
-
-4.3. Derived AVP Data Formats
-
- In addition to using the Basic AVP Data Formats, applications may
- define data formats derived from the Basic AVP Data Formats. An
- application that defines new Derived AVP Data Formats MUST include
- them in a section titled "Derived AVP Data Formats", using the same
- format as the definitions below. Each new definition MUST be either
- defined or listed with a reference to the RFC that defines the
- format.
-
-4.3.1. Common Derived AVP Data Formats
-
- The following are commonly used Derived AVP Data Formats.
-
- Address
-
- The Address format is derived from the OctetString Basic AVP
- Format. It is a discriminated union representing, for example, a
- 32-bit (IPv4) [RFC0791] or 128-bit (IPv6) [RFC4291] address, most
- significant octet first. The first two octets of the Address AVP
- represent the AddressType, which contains an Address Family,
- defined in [IANAADFAM]. The AddressType is used to discriminate
- the content and format of the remaining octets.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 44]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Time
-
- The Time format is derived from the OctetString Basic AVP Format.
- The string MUST contain four octets, in the same format as the
- first four bytes are in the NTP timestamp format. The NTP
- timestamp format is defined in Section 3 of [RFC5905].
-
- This represents the number of seconds since 0h on 1 January 1900
- with respect to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
-
- On 6h 28m 16s UTC, 7 February 2036, the time value will overflow.
- Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) [RFC5905] describes a
- procedure to extend the time to 2104. This procedure MUST be
- supported by all Diameter nodes.
-
- UTF8String
-
- The UTF8String format is derived from the OctetString Basic AVP
- Format. This is a human-readable string represented using the
- ISO/IEC IS 10646-1 character set, encoded as an OctetString using
- the UTF-8 transformation format [RFC3629].
-
- Since additional code points are added by amendments to the 10646
- standard from time to time, implementations MUST be prepared to
- encounter any code point from 0x00000001 to 0x7fffffff. Byte
- sequences that do not correspond to the valid encoding of a code
- point into UTF-8 charset or are outside this range are prohibited.
-
- The use of control codes SHOULD be avoided. When it is necessary
- to represent a new line, the control code sequence CR LF SHOULD be
- used.
-
- The use of leading or trailing white space SHOULD be avoided.
-
- For code points not directly supported by user interface hardware
- or software, an alternative means of entry and display, such as
- hexadecimal, MAY be provided.
-
- For information encoded in 7-bit US-ASCII, the UTF-8 charset is
- identical to the US-ASCII charset.
-
- UTF-8 may require multiple bytes to represent a single character /
- code point; thus, the length of a UTF8String in octets may be
- different from the number of characters encoded.
-
- Note that the AVP Length field of an UTF8String is measured in
- octets not characters.

-
-
- DiameterIdentity
-
- The DiameterIdentity format is derived from the OctetString Basic
- AVP Format.
-
- DiameterIdentity = FQDN/Realm
-
- The DiameterIdentity value is used to uniquely identify either:
-
- * A Diameter node for purposes of duplicate connection and
- routing loop detection.
-
- * A Realm to determine whether messages can be satisfied locally
- or whether they must be routed or redirected.
-
- When a DiameterIdentity value is used to identify a Diameter node,
- the contents of the string MUST be the Fully Qualified Domain Name
- (FQDN) of the Diameter node. If multiple Diameter nodes run on
- the same host, each Diameter node MUST be assigned a unique
- DiameterIdentity. If a Diameter node can be identified by several
- FQDNs, a single FQDN should be picked at startup and used as the
- only DiameterIdentity for that node, whatever the connection on
- which it is sent. In this document, note that DiameterIdentity is
- in ASCII form in order to be compatible with existing DNS
- infrastructure. See Appendix D for interactions between the
- Diameter protocol and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
-
- DiameterURI
-
- The DiameterURI MUST follow the Uniform Resource Identifiers (RFC
- 3986) syntax [RFC3986] rules specified below:
-
- "aaa://" FQDN [ port ] [ transport ] [ protocol ]
-
- ; No transport security
-
- "aaas://" FQDN [ port ] [ transport ] [ protocol ]
-
- ; Transport security used
-
- FQDN = &lt; Fully Qualified Domain Name >

- The Enumerated format is derived from the Integer32 Basic AVP
- Format. The definition contains a list of valid values and their
- interpretation and is described in the Diameter application
- introducing the AVP.

-
-
- IPFilterRule
-
- The IPFilterRule format is derived from the OctetString Basic AVP
- Format and uses the ASCII charset. The rule syntax is a modified
- subset of ipfw(8) from FreeBSD. Packets may be filtered based on
- the following information that is associated with it:
-
- Direction (in or out)
- Source and destination IP address (possibly masked)
- Protocol
- Source and destination port (lists or ranges)
- TCP flags
- IP fragment flag
- IP options
- ICMP types
-
- Rules for the appropriate direction are evaluated in order, with the
- first matched rule terminating the evaluation. Each packet is
- evaluated once. If no rule matches, the packet is dropped if the
- last rule evaluated was a permit, and passed if the last rule was a
- deny.
-
- IPFilterRule filters MUST follow the format:
-
- action dir proto from src to dst [options]
-
- action permit - Allow packets that match the rule.
- deny - Drop packets that match the rule.
-
- dir "in" is from the terminal, "out" is to the
- terminal.
-
- proto An IP protocol specified by number. The "ip"
- keyword means any protocol will match.
-
- src and dst &lt;address/mask> [ports]
-
- The &lt;address/mask> may be specified as:
- ipno An IPv4 or IPv6 number in dotted-
- quad or canonical IPv6 form. Only
- this exact IP number will match the
- rule.

-
- ipno/bits An IP number as above with a mask
- width of the form 192.0.2.10/24. In
- this case, all IP numbers from
- 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255 will match.
- The bit width MUST be valid for the
- IP version, and the IP number MUST
- NOT have bits set beyond the mask.
- For a match to occur, the same IP
- version must be present in the
- packet that was used in describing
- the IP address. To test for a
- particular IP version, the bits part
- can be set to zero. The keyword
- "any" is 0.0.0.0/0 or the IPv6
- equivalent. The keyword "assigned"
- is the address or set of addresses
- assigned to the terminal. For IPv4,
- a typical first rule is often "deny
- in ip! assigned".
-
- The sense of the match can be inverted by
- preceding an address with the not modifier (!),
- causing all other addresses to be matched
- instead. This does not affect the selection of
- port numbers.
-
- With the TCP, UDP, and SCTP protocols, optional
- ports may be specified as:
-
- {port/port-port}[,ports[,...]]
-
- The '-' notation specifies a range of ports
- (including boundaries).
-
- Fragmented packets that have a non-zero offset
- (i.e., not the first fragment) will never match
- a rule that has one or more port
- specifications. See the frag option for
- details on matching fragmented packets.
-
- options:
- frag Match if the packet is a fragment and this is not
- the first fragment of the datagram. frag may not
- be used in conjunction with either tcpflags or
- TCP/UDP port specifications.

- list of options specified in spec. The
- supported IP options are:
-
- ssrr (strict source route), lsrr (loose source
- route), rr (record packet route), and ts
- (timestamp). The absence of a particular option
- may be denoted with a '!'.

-
- mss (maximum segment size), window (tcp window
- advertisement), sack (selective ack), ts (rfc1323
- timestamp), and cc (rfc1644 t/tcp connection
- count). The absence of a particular option may

- contains the comma-separated list of flags
- specified in spec. The supported TCP flags are:
-
- fin, syn, rst, psh, ack, and urg. The absence of a
- particular flag may be denoted with a '!'. A rule
- that contains a tcpflags specification can never
- match a fragmented packet that has a non-zero
- offset. See the frag option for details on
- matching fragmented packets.
-
- icmptypes types
- ICMP packets only. Match if the ICMP type is in
- the list types. The list may be specified as any
- combination of ranges or individual types
- separated by commas. Both the numeric values and
- the symbolic values listed below can be used. The
- supported ICMP types are:

- header bad (12), timestamp request (13),
- timestamp reply (14), information request (15),
- information reply (16), address mask request (17),
- and address mask reply (18).
-
- There is one kind of packet that the access device MUST always
- discard, that is an IP fragment with a fragment offset of one. This
- is a valid packet, but it only has one use, to try to circumvent
- firewalls.
-
- An access device that is unable to interpret or apply a deny rule
- MUST terminate the session. An access device that is unable to
- interpret or apply a permit rule MAY apply a more restrictive rule.
- An access device MAY apply deny rules of its own before the supplied
- rules, for example to protect the access device owner's
- infrastructure.
-
-4.4. Grouped AVP Values
-
- The Diameter protocol allows AVP values of type 'Grouped'. This
- implies that the Data field is actually a sequence of AVPs. It is
- possible to include an AVP with a Grouped type within a Grouped type,
- that is, to nest them. AVPs within an AVP of type Grouped have the
- same padding requirements as non-Grouped AVPs, as defined in
- Section 4.4.
-
- The AVP Code numbering space of all AVPs included in a Grouped AVP is
- the same as for non-Grouped AVPs. Receivers of a Grouped AVP that
- does not have the 'M' (mandatory) bit set and one or more of the
- encapsulated AVPs within the group has the 'M' (mandatory) bit set
- MAY simply be ignored if the Grouped AVP itself is unrecognized. The
- rule applies even if the encapsulated AVP with its 'M' (mandatory)
- bit set is further encapsulated within other sub-groups, i.e., other
- Grouped AVPs embedded within the Grouped AVP.
-
- Every Grouped AVP definition MUST include a corresponding grammar,
- using ABNF [RFC5234] (with modifications), as defined below.
-
- grouped-avp-def = "&lt;" name ">" "::=" avp
-
- name-fmt = ALPHA *(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")

- ; The name has to be the name of an AVP,
- ; defined in the base or extended Diameter

- ; The AVP Code assigned to the Grouped AVP.
-
- vendor = 1*DIGIT
- ; The Vendor-ID assigned to the Grouped AVP.
- ; If absent, the default value of zero is

-
-4.4.1. Example AVP with a Grouped Data Type
-
- The Example-AVP (AVP Code 999999) is of type Grouped and is used to
- clarify how Grouped AVP values work. The Grouped Data field has the
- following CCF grammar:
-
- Example-AVP ::= &lt; AVP Header: 999999 >
- { Origin-Host }
- 1*{ Session-Id }
- *[ AVP ]
-
- An Example-AVP with Grouped Data follows.
-
- The Origin-Host AVP (Section 6.3) is required. In this case:
-
- Origin-Host = "example.com".
-
- One or more Session-Ids must follow. Here there are two:
-
- Session-Id =
- "grump.example.com:33041;23432;893;0AF3B81"
-
- Session-Id =
- "grump.example.com:33054;23561;2358;0AF3B82"

-5. Diameter Peers
-
- This section describes how Diameter nodes establish connections and
- communicate with peers.
-
-5.1. Peer Connections
-
- Connections between diameter peers are established using their valid
- DiameterIdentity. A Diameter node initiating a connection to a peer
- MUST know the peer's DiameterIdentity. Methods for discovering a
- Diameter peer can be found in Section 5.2.
-
- Although a Diameter node may have many possible peers with which it
- is able to communicate, it may not be economical to have an
- established connection to all of them. At a minimum, a Diameter node
- SHOULD have an established connection with two peers per realm, known
- as the primary and secondary peers. Of course, a node MAY have
- additional connections, if it is deemed necessary. Typically, all
- messages for a realm are sent to the primary peer but, in the event
- that failover procedures are invoked, any pending requests are sent
- to the secondary peer. However, implementations are free to load
- balance requests between a set of peers.
-
- Note that a given peer MAY act as a primary for a given realm while
- acting as a secondary for another realm.
-
- When a peer is deemed suspect, which could occur for various reasons,
- including not receiving a DWA within an allotted time frame, no new
- requests should be forwarded to the peer, but failover procedures are
- invoked. When an active peer is moved to this mode, additional
- connections SHOULD be established to ensure that the necessary number
- of active connections exists.
-
- There are two ways that a peer is removed from the suspect peer list:
-
- 1. The peer is no longer reachable, causing the transport connection
- to be shut down. The peer is moved to the closed state.
-
- 2. Three watchdog messages are exchanged with accepted round-trip
- times, and the connection to the peer is considered stabilized.
-
- In the event the peer being removed is either the primary or
- secondary, an alternate peer SHOULD replace the deleted peer and
- assume the role of either primary or secondary.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 58]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-5.2. Diameter Peer Discovery
-
- Allowing for dynamic Diameter agent discovery makes possible simpler
- and more robust deployment of Diameter services. In order to promote
- interoperable implementations of Diameter peer discovery, the
- following mechanisms (manual configuration and DNS) are described.
- These are based on existing IETF standards. Both mechanisms MUST be
- supported by all Diameter implementations; either MAY be used.
-
- There are two cases where Diameter peer discovery may be performed.
- The first is when a Diameter client needs to discover a first-hop
- Diameter agent. The second case is when a Diameter agent needs to
- discover another agent for further handling of a Diameter operation.
- In both cases, the following 'search order' is recommended:
-
- 1. The Diameter implementation consults its list of statically
- (manually) configured Diameter agent locations. These will be
- used if they exist and respond.
-
- 2. The Diameter implementation performs a NAPTR query for a server
- in a particular realm. The Diameter implementation has to know,
- in advance, in which realm to look for a Diameter agent. This
- could be deduced, for example, from the 'realm' in an NAI on
- which a Diameter implementation needed to perform a Diameter
- operation.
-
- The NAPTR usage in Diameter follows the S-NAPTR DDDS application
- [RFC3958] in which the SERVICE field includes tags for the
- desired application and supported application protocol. The
- application service tag for a Diameter application is 'aaa' and
- the supported application protocol tags are 'diameter.tcp',
- 'diameter.sctp', 'diameter.dtls', or 'diameter.tls.tcp'
- [RFC6408].
-
- The client can follow the resolution process defined by the
- S-NAPTR DDDS [RFC3958] application to find a matching SRV, A, or
- AAAA record of a suitable peer. The domain suffixes in the NAPTR
- replacement field SHOULD match the domain of the original query.
- An example can be found in Appendix B.
-
- 3. If no NAPTR records are found, the requester directly queries for
- one of the following SRV records: for Diameter over TCP, use
- "_diameter._tcp.realm"; for Diameter over TLS, use
- "_diameters._tcp.realm"; for Diameter over SCTP, use
- "_diameter._sctp.realm"; for Diameter over DTLS, use
- "_diameters._sctp.realm". If SRV records are found, then the
- requester can perform address record query (A RR's and/or AAAA
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 59]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- RR's) for the target hostname specified in the SRV records
- following the rules given in [RFC2782]. If no SRV records are
- found, the requester gives up.
-
- If the server is using a site certificate, the domain name in the
- NAPTR query and the domain name in the replacement field MUST both be
- valid based on the site certificate handed out by the server in the
- TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP or Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKE)
- exchange. Similarly, the domain name in the SRV query and the domain
- name in the target in the SRV record MUST both be valid based on the
- same site certificate. Otherwise, an attacker could modify the DNS
- records to contain replacement values in a different domain, and the
- client could not validate whether this was the desired behavior or
- the result of an attack.
-
- Also, the Diameter peer MUST check to make sure that the discovered
- peers are authorized to act in its role. Authentication via IKE or
- TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP, or validation of DNS RRs via DNSSEC is not
- sufficient to conclude this. For example, a web server may have
- obtained a valid TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP certificate, and secured RRs
- may be included in the DNS, but this does not imply that it is
- authorized to act as a Diameter server.
-
- Authorization can be achieved, for example, by the configuration of a
- Diameter server Certification Authority (CA). The server CA issues a
- certificate to the Diameter server, which includes an Object
- Identifier (OID) to indicate the subject is a Diameter server in the
- Extended Key Usage extension [RFC5280]. This certificate is then
- used during TLS/TCP, DTLS/SCTP, or IKE security negotiation.
- However, note that, at the time of writing, no Diameter server
- Certification Authorities exist.
-
- A dynamically discovered peer causes an entry in the peer table (see
- Section 2.6) to be created. Note that entries created via DNS MUST
- expire (or be refreshed) within the DNS Time to Live (TTL). If a
- peer is discovered outside of the local realm, a routing table entry
- (see Section 2.7) for the peer's realm is created. The routing table
- entry's expiration MUST match the peer's expiration value.
-
-5.3. Capabilities Exchange
-
- When two Diameter peers establish a transport connection, they MUST
- exchange the Capabilities Exchange messages, as specified in the peer
- state machine (see Section 5.6). This message allows the discovery
- of a peer's identity and its capabilities (protocol version number,
- the identifiers of supported Diameter applications, security
- mechanisms, etc.).
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 60]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The receiver only issues commands to its peers that have advertised
- support for the Diameter application that defines the command. A
- Diameter node MUST cache the supported Application Ids in order to
- ensure that unrecognized commands and/or AVPs are not unnecessarily
- sent to a peer.
-
- A receiver of a Capabilities-Exchange-Request (CER) message that does
- not have any applications in common with the sender MUST return a
- Capabilities-Exchange-Answer (CEA) with the Result-Code AVP set to
- DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_APPLICATION and SHOULD disconnect the transport
- layer connection. Note that receiving a CER or CEA from a peer
- advertising itself as a relay (see Section 2.4) MUST be interpreted
- as having common applications with the peer.
-
- The receiver of the Capabilities-Exchange-Request (CER) MUST
- determine common applications by computing the intersection of its
- own set of supported Application Ids against all of the
- Application-Id AVPs (Auth-Application-Id, Acct-Application-Id, and
- Vendor-Specific-Application-Id) present in the CER. The value of the
- Vendor-Id AVP in the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id MUST NOT be used
- during computation. The sender of the Capabilities-Exchange-Answer
- (CEA) SHOULD include all of its supported applications as a hint to
- the receiver regarding all of its application capabilities.
-
- Diameter implementations SHOULD first attempt to establish a TLS/TCP
- and DTLS/SCTP connection prior to the CER/CEA exchange. This
- protects the capabilities information of both peers. To support
- older Diameter implementations that do not fully conform to this
- document, the transport security MAY still be negotiated via an
- Inband-Security AVP. In this case, the receiver of a Capabilities-
- Exchange-Request (CER) message that does not have any security
- mechanisms in common with the sender MUST return a Capabilities-
- Exchange-Answer (CEA) with the Result-Code AVP set to
- DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_SECURITY and SHOULD disconnect the transport layer
- connection.
-
- CERs received from unknown peers MAY be silently discarded, or a CEA
- MAY be issued with the Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_UNKNOWN_PEER.
- In both cases, the transport connection is closed. If the local
- policy permits receiving CERs from unknown hosts, a successful CEA
- MAY be returned. If a CER from an unknown peer is answered with a
- successful CEA, the lifetime of the peer entry is equal to the
- lifetime of the transport connection. In case of a transport
- failure, all the pending transactions destined to the unknown peer
- can be discarded.
-
- The CER and CEA messages MUST NOT be proxied, redirected, or relayed.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 61]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Since the CER/CEA messages cannot be proxied, it is still possible
- that an upstream agent will receive a message for which it has no
- available peers to handle the application that corresponds to the
- Command Code. In such instances, the 'E' bit is set in the answer
- message (Section 7) with the Result-Code AVP set to
- DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER to inform the downstream agent to take
- action (e.g., re-routing request to an alternate peer).
-
- With the exception of the Capabilities-Exchange-Request message, a
- message of type Request that includes the Auth-Application-Id or
- Acct-Application-Id AVPs, or a message with an application-specific
- Command Code MAY only be forwarded to a host that has explicitly
- advertised support for the application (or has advertised the Relay
- Application Id).
-
-5.3.1. Capabilities-Exchange-Request
-
- The Capabilities-Exchange-Request (CER), indicated by the Command
- Code set to 257 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit set, is sent to
- exchange local capabilities. Upon detection of a transport failure,
- this message MUST NOT be sent to an alternate peer.
-
- When Diameter is run over SCTP [RFC4960] or DTLS/SCTP [RFC6083],
- which allow for connections to span multiple interfaces and multiple
- IP addresses, the Capabilities-Exchange-Request message MUST contain
- one Host-IP-Address AVP for each potential IP address that MAY be
- locally used when transmitting Diameter messages.
-
- Message Format

-
- When Diameter is run over SCTP [RFC4960] or DTLS/SCTP [RFC6083],

-5.3.3. Vendor-Id AVP
-
- The Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 266) is of type Unsigned32 and contains
- the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
- [ENTERPRISE] value assigned to the Diameter Software vendor. It is
- envisioned that the combination of the Vendor-Id, Product-Name
- (Section 5.3.7), and Firmware-Revision (Section 5.3.4) AVPs may
- provide useful debugging information.
-
- A Vendor-Id value of zero in the CER or CEA message is reserved and
- indicates that this field is ignored.

-
-
-5.3.4. Firmware-Revision AVP
-
- The Firmware-Revision AVP (AVP Code 267) is of type Unsigned32 and is
- used to inform a Diameter peer of the firmware revision of the
- issuing device.
-
- For devices that do not have a firmware revision (general-purpose
- computers running Diameter software modules, for instance), the
- revision of the Diameter software module may be reported instead.
-
-5.3.5. Host-IP-Address AVP
-
- The Host-IP-Address AVP (AVP Code 257) is of type Address and is used
- to inform a Diameter peer of the sender's IP address. All source
- addresses that a Diameter node expects to use with SCTP [RFC4960] or
- DTLS/SCTP [RFC6083] MUST be advertised in the CER and CEA messages by
- including a Host-IP-Address AVP for each address.
-
-5.3.6. Supported-Vendor-Id AVP
-
- The Supported-Vendor-Id AVP (AVP Code 265) is of type Unsigned32 and
- contains the IANA "SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes"
- [ENTERPRISE] value assigned to a vendor other than the device vendor
- but including the application vendor. This is used in the CER and
- CEA messages in order to inform the peer that the sender supports (a
- subset of) the Vendor-Specific AVPs defined by the vendor identified
- in this AVP. The value of this AVP MUST NOT be set to zero.
- Multiple instances of this AVP containing the same value SHOULD NOT
- be sent.
-
-5.3.7. Product-Name AVP
-
- The Product-Name AVP (AVP Code 269) is of type UTF8String and
- contains the vendor-assigned name for the product. The Product-Name
- AVP SHOULD remain constant across firmware revisions for the same
- product.
-
-5.4. Disconnecting Peer Connections
-
- When a Diameter node disconnects one of its transport connections,
- its peer cannot know the reason for the disconnect and will most
- likely assume that a connectivity problem occurred or that the peer
- has rebooted. In these cases, the peer may periodically attempt to
- reconnect, as stated in Section 2.1. In the event that the
- disconnect was a result of either a shortage of internal resources or
- simply that the node in question has no intentions of forwarding any
- Diameter messages to the peer in the foreseeable future, a periodic
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 64]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- connection request would not be welcomed. The Disconnection-Reason
- AVP contains the reason the Diameter node issued the Disconnect-Peer-
- Request message.
-
- The Disconnect-Peer-Request message is used by a Diameter node to
- inform its peer of its intent to disconnect the transport layer and
- that the peer shouldn't reconnect unless it has a valid reason to do
- so (e.g., message to be forwarded). Upon receipt of the message, the
- Disconnect-Peer-Answer message is returned, which SHOULD contain an
- error if messages have recently been forwarded, and are likely in
- flight, which would otherwise cause a race condition.
-
- The receiver of the Disconnect-Peer-Answer message initiates the
- transport disconnect. The sender of the Disconnect-Peer-Answer
- message should be able to detect the transport closure and clean up
- the connection.
-
-5.4.1. Disconnect-Peer-Request
-
- The Disconnect-Peer-Request (DPR), indicated by the Command Code set
- to 282 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit set, is sent to a peer to
- inform it of its intentions to shut down the transport connection.
- Upon detection of a transport failure, this message MUST NOT be sent
- to an alternate peer.
-
- Message Format

-
- The Disconnect-Peer-Answer (DPA), indicated by the Command Code set

-
-
-5.4.3. Disconnect-Cause AVP
-
- The Disconnect-Cause AVP (AVP Code 273) is of type Enumerated. A
- Diameter node MUST include this AVP in the Disconnect-Peer-Request
- message to inform the peer of the reason for its intention to shut
- down the transport connection. The following values are supported:
-
- REBOOTING 0
- A scheduled reboot is imminent. A receiver of a DPR with
- above result code MAY attempt reconnection.
-
- BUSY 1
- The peer's internal resources are constrained, and it has
- determined that the transport connection needs to be closed.
- A receiver of a DPR with above result code SHOULD NOT attempt
- reconnection.
-
- DO_NOT_WANT_TO_TALK_TO_YOU 2
- The peer has determined that it does not see a need for the
- transport connection to exist, since it does not expect any
- messages to be exchanged in the near future. A receiver of a
- DPR with above result code SHOULD NOT attempt reconnection.
-
-5.5. Transport Failure Detection
-
- Given the nature of the Diameter protocol, it is recommended that
- transport failures be detected as soon as possible. Detecting such
- failures will minimize the occurrence of messages sent to unavailable
- agents, resulting in unnecessary delays, and will provide better
- failover performance. The Device-Watchdog-Request and Device-
- Watchdog-Answer messages, defined in this section, are used to pro-
- actively detect transport failures.

-
-
-5.5.1. Device-Watchdog-Request
-
- The Device-Watchdog-Request (DWR), indicated by the Command Code set
- to 280 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit set, is sent to a peer when no
- traffic has been exchanged between two peers (see Section 5.5.3).
- Upon detection of a transport failure, this message MUST NOT be sent
- to an alternate peer.
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;DWR> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 280, REQ >

-
-5.5.2. Device-Watchdog-Answer
-
- The Device-Watchdog-Answer (DWA), indicated by the Command Code set
- to 280 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit cleared, is sent as a response
- to the Device-Watchdog-Request message.
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;DWA> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 280 >
- { Result-Code }
- { Origin-Host }
- { Origin-Realm }
- [ Error-Message ]

- [ Origin-State-Id ]
- * [ AVP ]
-
-5.5.3. Transport Failure Algorithm
-
- The transport failure algorithm is defined in [RFC3539]. All
- Diameter implementations MUST support the algorithm defined in that
- specification in order to be compliant to the Diameter base protocol.
-
-5.5.4. Failover and Failback Procedures
-
- In the event that a transport failure is detected with a peer, it is
- necessary for all pending request messages to be forwarded to an
- alternate agent, if possible. This is commonly referred to as
- "failover".
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 67]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- In order for a Diameter node to perform failover procedures, it is
- necessary for the node to maintain a pending message queue for a
- given peer. When an answer message is received, the corresponding
- request is removed from the queue. The Hop-by-Hop Identifier field
- is used to match the answer with the queued request.
-
- When a transport failure is detected, if possible, all messages in
- the queue are sent to an alternate agent with the T flag set. On
- booting a Diameter client or agent, the T flag is also set on any
- remaining records in non-volatile storage that are still waiting to
- be transmitted. An example of a case where it is not possible to
- forward the message to an alternate server is when the message has a
- fixed destination, and the unavailable peer is the message's final
- destination (see Destination-Host AVP). Such an error requires that
- the agent return an answer message with the 'E' bit set and the
- Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER.
-
- It is important to note that multiple identical requests or answers
- MAY be received as a result of a failover. The End-to-End Identifier
- field in the Diameter header along with the Origin-Host AVP MUST be
- used to identify duplicate messages.
-
- As described in Section 2.1, a connection request should be
- periodically attempted with the failed peer in order to re-establish
- the transport connection. Once a connection has been successfully
- established, messages can once again be forwarded to the peer. This
- is commonly referred to as "failback".
-
-5.6. Peer State Machine
-
- This section contains a finite state machine that MUST be observed by
- all Diameter implementations. Each Diameter node MUST follow the
- state machine described below when communicating with each peer.
- Multiple actions are separated by commas, and may continue on
- succeeding lines, as space requires. Similarly, state and next state
- may also span multiple lines, as space requires.
-
- This state machine is closely coupled with the state machine
- described in [RFC3539], which is used to open, close, failover,
- probe, and reopen transport connections. In particular, note that
- [RFC3539] requires the use of watchdog messages to probe connections.
- For Diameter, DWR and DWA messages are to be used.
-
- The I- prefix is used to represent the initiator (connecting)
- connection, while the R- prefix is used to represent the responder
- (listening) connection. The lack of a prefix indicates that the
- event or action is the same regardless of the connection on which the
- event occurred.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 68]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The stable states that a state machine may be in are Closed, I-Open,
- and R-Open; all other states are intermediate. Note that I-Open and
- R-Open are equivalent except for whether the initiator or responder
- transport connection is used for communication.
-
- A CER message is always sent on the initiating connection immediately
- after the connection request is successfully completed. In the case
- of an election, one of the two connections will shut down. The
- responder connection will survive if the Origin-Host of the local
- Diameter entity is higher than that of the peer; the initiator
- connection will survive if the peer's Origin-Host is higher. All
- subsequent messages are sent on the surviving connection. Note that
- the results of an election on one peer are guaranteed to be the
- inverse of the results on the other.
-
- For TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP usage, a TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP handshake
- SHOULD begin when both ends are in the closed state prior to any
- Diameter message exchanges. The TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP connection
- SHOULD be established before sending any CER or CEA message to secure
- and protect the capabilities information of both peers. The TLS/TCP
- and DTLS/SCTP connection SHOULD be disconnected when the state
- machine moves to the closed state. When connecting to responders
- that do not conform to this document (i.e., older Diameter
- implementations that are not prepared to received TLS/TCP and DTLS/
- SCTP connections in the closed state), the initial TLS/TCP and DTLS/
- SCTP connection attempt will fail. The initiator MAY then attempt to
- connect via TCP or SCTP and initiate the TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP
- handshake when both ends are in the open state. If the handshake is
- successful, all further messages will be sent via TLS/TCP and DTLS/
- SCTP. If the handshake fails, both ends move to the closed state.
-
- The state machine constrains only the behavior of a Diameter
- implementation as seen by Diameter peers through events on the wire.
-
- Any implementation that produces equivalent results is considered
- compliant.

-5.6.1. Incoming Connections
-
- When a connection request is received from a Diameter peer, it is
- not, in the general case, possible to know the identity of that peer
- until a CER is received from it. This is because host and port
- determine the identity of a Diameter peer; the source port of an
- incoming connection is arbitrary. Upon receipt of a CER, the
- identity of the connecting peer can be uniquely determined from the
- Origin-Host.
-
- For this reason, a Diameter peer must employ logic separate from the
- state machine to receive connection requests, accept them, and await
- the CER. Once the CER arrives on a new connection, the Origin-Host
- that identifies the peer is used to locate the state machine
- associated with that peer, and the new connection and CER are passed
- to the state machine as an R-Conn-CER event.
-
- The logic that handles incoming connections SHOULD close and discard
- the connection if any message other than a CER arrives or if an
- implementation-defined timeout occurs prior to receipt of CER.
-
- Because handling of incoming connections up to and including receipt
- of a CER requires logic, separate from that of any individual state
- machine associated with a particular peer, it is described separately
- in this section rather than in the state machine above.
-
-5.6.2. Events
-
- Transitions and actions in the automaton are caused by events. In
- this section, we will ignore the I- and R- prefixes, since the actual
- event would be identical, but it would occur on one of two possible
- connections.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 71]

-

-
-5.6.3. Actions
-
- Actions in the automaton are caused by events and typically indicate
- the transmission of packets and/or an action to be taken on the
- connection. In this section, we will ignore the I- and R- prefixes,
- since the actual action would be identical, but it would occur on one
- of two possible connections.

-
-5.6.4. The Election Process
-
- The election is performed on the responder. The responder compares
- the Origin-Host received in the CER with its own Origin-Host as two
- streams of octets. If the local Origin-Host lexicographically
- succeeds the received Origin-Host, a Win-Election event is issued
- locally. Diameter identities are in ASCII form; therefore, the
- lexical comparison is consistent with DNS case insensitivity, where
- octets that fall in the ASCII range 'a' through 'z' MUST compare
- equally to their uppercase counterparts between 'A' and 'Z'. See
- Appendix D for interactions between the Diameter protocol and
- Internationalized Domain Name (IDNs).
-
- The winner of the election MUST close the connection it initiated.
- Historically, maintaining the responder side of a connection was more
- efficient than maintaining the initiator side. However, current
- practices makes this distinction irrelevant.
-
-6. Diameter Message Processing
-
- This section describes how Diameter requests and answers are created
- and processed.
-
-6.1. Diameter Request Routing Overview
-
- A request is sent towards its final destination using one of the
- following three combinations of the Destination-Realm and
- Destination-Host AVPs:
-
- o A request that is not able to be proxied (such as a CER) MUST NOT
- contain either Destination-Realm or Destination-Host AVPs.
-
- o A request that needs to be sent to a home server serving a
- specific realm, but not to a specific server (such as the first
- request of a series of round trips), MUST contain a Destination-
- Realm AVP but MUST NOT contain a Destination-Host AVP. For
- Diameter clients, the value of the Destination-Realm AVP MAY be
- extracted from the User-Name AVP, or other methods.
-
- o Otherwise, a request that needs to be sent to a specific home
- server among those serving a given realm MUST contain both the
- Destination-Realm and Destination-Host AVPs.
-
- The Destination-Host AVP is used as described above when the
- destination of the request is fixed, which includes:
-
- o Authentication requests that span multiple round trips.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 74]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o A Diameter message that uses a security mechanism that makes use
- of a pre-established session key shared between the source and the
- final destination of the message.
-
- o Server-initiated messages that MUST be received by a specific
- Diameter client (e.g., access device), such as the Abort-Session-
- Request message, which is used to request that a particular user's
- session be terminated.
-
- Note that an agent can only forward a request to a host described in
- the Destination-Host AVP if the host in question is included in its
- peer table (see Section 2.6). Otherwise, the request is routed based
- on the Destination-Realm only (see Section 6.1.6).
-
- When a message is received, the message is processed in the following
- order:
-
- o If the message is destined for the local host, the procedures
- listed in Section 6.1.4 are followed.
-
- o If the message is intended for a Diameter peer with whom the local
- host is able to directly communicate, the procedures listed in
- Section 6.1.5 are followed. This is known as "Request
- Forwarding".
-
- o The procedure listed in Section 6.1.6 is followed, which is known
- as "Request Routing".
-
- o If none of the above are successful, an answer is returned with
- the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER, with the 'E'
- bit set.
-
- For routing of Diameter messages to work within an administrative
- domain, all Diameter nodes within the realm MUST be peers.
-
- The overview contained in this section (6.1) is intended to provide
- general guidelines to Diameter developers. Implementations are free
- to use different methods than the ones described here as long as they
- conform to the requirements specified in Sections 6.1.1 through
- 6.1.9. See Section 7 for more details on error handling.
-
-6.1.1. Originating a Request
-
- When creating a request, in addition to any other procedures
- described in the application definition for that specific request,
- the following procedures MUST be followed:
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 75]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o the Command Code is set to the appropriate value;
-
- o the 'R' bit is set;
-
- o the End-to-End Identifier is set to a locally unique value;
-
- o the Origin-Host and Origin-Realm AVPs MUST be set to the
- appropriate values, used to identify the source of the message;
- and
-
- o the Destination-Host and Destination-Realm AVPs MUST be set to the
- appropriate values, as described in Section 6.1.
-
-6.1.2. Sending a Request
-
- When sending a request, originated either locally or as the result of
- a forwarding or routing operation, the following procedures SHOULD be
- followed:
-
- o The Hop-by-Hop Identifier SHOULD be set to a locally unique value.
-
- o The message SHOULD be saved in the list of pending requests.
-
- Other actions to perform on the message based on the particular role
- the agent is playing are described in the following sections.
-
-6.1.3. Receiving Requests
-
- A relay or proxy agent MUST check for forwarding loops when receiving
- requests. A loop is detected if the server finds its own identity in
- a Route-Record AVP. When such an event occurs, the agent MUST answer
- with the Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED.
-
-6.1.4. Processing Local Requests
-
- A request is known to be for local consumption when one of the
- following conditions occurs:
-
- o The Destination-Host AVP contains the local host's identity;
-
- o The Destination-Host AVP is not present, the Destination-Realm AVP
- contains a realm the server is configured to process locally, and
- the Diameter application is locally supported; or
-
- o Both the Destination-Host and the Destination-Realm are not
- present.
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 76]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- When a request is locally processed, the rules in Section 6.2 should
- be used to generate the corresponding answer.
-
-6.1.5. Request Forwarding
-
- Request forwarding is done using the Diameter peer table. The
- Diameter peer table contains all of the peers with which the local
- node is able to directly communicate.
-
- When a request is received, and the host encoded in the Destination-
- Host AVP is one that is present in the peer table, the message SHOULD
- be forwarded to the peer.
-
-6.1.6. Request Routing
-
- Diameter request message routing is done via realms and Application
- Ids. A Diameter message that may be forwarded by Diameter agents
- (proxies, redirect agents, or relay agents) MUST include the target
- realm in the Destination-Realm AVP. Request routing SHOULD rely on
- the Destination-Realm AVP and the Application Id present in the
- request message header to aid in the routing decision. The realm MAY
- be retrieved from the User-Name AVP, which is in the form of a
- Network Access Identifier (NAI). The realm portion of the NAI is
- inserted in the Destination-Realm AVP.
-
- Diameter agents MAY have a list of locally supported realms and
- applications, and they MAY have a list of externally supported realms
- and applications. When a request is received that includes a realm
- and/or application that is not locally supported, the message is
- routed to the peer configured in the routing table (see Section 2.7).
-
- Realm names and Application Ids are the minimum supported routing
- criteria, additional information may be needed to support redirect
- semantics.
-
-6.1.7. Predictive Loop Avoidance
-
- Before forwarding or routing a request, Diameter agents, in addition
- to performing the processing described in Section 6.1.3, SHOULD check
- for the presence of a candidate route's peer identity in any of the
- Route-Record AVPs. In the event of the agent detecting the presence
- of a candidate route's peer identity in a Route-Record AVP, the agent
- MUST ignore such a route for the Diameter request message and attempt
- alternate routes if any exist. In case all the candidate routes are
- eliminated by the above criteria, the agent SHOULD return a
- DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER message.

-
-6.1.8. Redirecting Requests
-
- When a redirect agent receives a request whose routing entry is set
- to REDIRECT, it MUST reply with an answer message with the 'E' bit
- set, while maintaining the Hop-by-Hop Identifier in the header, and
- include the Result-Code AVP to DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION. Each of
- the servers associated with the routing entry are added in a separate
- Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- +------------------+
- | Diameter |
- | Redirect Agent |
- +------------------+
- ^ | 2. command + 'E' bit
- 1. Request | | Result-Code =
- [email protected] | | DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION +
- | | Redirect-Host AVP(s)
- | v
- +-------------+ 3. Request +-------------+
- | example.com |------------->| example.net |
- | Relay | | Diameter |
- | Agent |&lt;-------------| Server |
- +-------------+ 4. Answer +-------------+
-
- Figure 5: Diameter Redirect Agent
-
- The receiver of an answer message with the 'E' bit set and the
- Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION uses the Hop-by-
- Hop Identifier in the Diameter header to identify the request in the
- pending message queue (see Section 5.5.4) that is to be redirected.
- If no transport connection exists with the new peer, one is created,
- and the request is sent directly to it.
-
- Multiple Redirect-Host AVPs are allowed. The receiver of the answer
- message with the 'E' bit set selects exactly one of these hosts as
- the destination of the redirected message.
-
- When the Redirect-Host-Usage AVP included in the answer message has a
- non-zero value, a route entry for the redirect indications is created
- and cached by the receiver. The redirect usage for such a route
- entry is set by the value of Redirect-Host-Usage AVP and the lifetime
- of the cached route entry is set by Redirect-Max-Cache-Time AVP
- value.
-
- It is possible that multiple redirect indications can create multiple
- cached route entries differing only in their redirect usage and the
- peer to forward messages to. As an example, two(2) route entries
- that are created by two(2) redirect indications results in two(2)
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 78]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- cached routes for the same realm and Application Id. However, one
- has a redirect usage of ALL_SESSION, where matching requests will be
- forwarded to one peer; the other has a redirect usage of ALL_REALM,
- where request are forwarded to another peer. Therefore, an incoming
- request that matches the realm and Application Id of both routes will
- need additional resolution. In such a case, a routing precedence
- rule MUST be used against the redirect usage value to resolve the
- contention. The precedence rule can be found in Section 6.13.
-
-6.1.9. Relaying and Proxying Requests
-
- A relay or proxy agent MUST append a Route-Record AVP to all requests
- forwarded. The AVP contains the identity of the peer from which the
- request was received.
-
- The Hop-by-Hop Identifier in the request is saved and replaced with a
- locally unique value. The source of the request is also saved, which
- includes the IP address, port, and protocol.
-
- A relay or proxy agent MAY include the Proxy-Info AVP in requests if
- it requires access to any local state information when the
- corresponding response is received. The Proxy-Info AVP has security
- implications as state information is distributed to other entities.
- As such, it is RECOMMENDED that the content of the Proxy-Info AVP be
- protected with cryptographic mechanisms, for example, by using a
- keyed message digest such as HMAC-SHA1 [RFC2104]. Such a mechanism,
- however, requires the management of keys, although only locally at
- the Diameter server. Still, a full description of the management of
- the keys used to protect the Proxy-Info AVP is beyond the scope of
- this document. Below is a list of common recommendations:
-
- o The keys should be generated securely following the randomness
- recommendations in [RFC4086].
-
- o The keys and cryptographic protection algorithms should be at
- least 128 bits in strength.
-
- o The keys should not be used for any other purpose than generating
- and verifying instances of the Proxy-Info AVP.
-
- o The keys should be changed regularly.
-
- o The keys should be changed if the AVP format or cryptographic
- protection algorithms change.
-
- The message is then forwarded to the next hop, as identified in the
- routing table.
-
-

-
- Figure 6 provides an example of message routing using the procedures
- listed in these sections.
-
- (Origin-Host=nas.example.net) (Origin-Host=nas.example.net)
- (Origin-Realm=example.net) (Origin-Realm=example.net)
- (Destination-Realm=example.com) (Destination-Realm=example.com)
- (Route-Record=nas.example.net)
- +------+ ------> +------+ ------> +------+
- | | (Request) | | (Request) | |
- | NAS +-------------------+ DRL +-------------------+ HMS |
- | | | | | |
- +------+ &lt;------ +------+ &lt;------ +------+
- example.net (Answer) example.net (Answer) example.com
- (Origin-Host=hms.example.com) (Origin-Host=hms.example.com)
- (Origin-Realm=example.com) (Origin-Realm=example.com)
-
- Figure 6: Routing of Diameter messages
-
- Relay and proxy agents are not required to perform full inspection of
- incoming messages. At a minimum, validation of the message header
- and relevant routing AVPs has to be done when relaying messages.
- Proxy agents may optionally perform more in-depth message validation
- for applications in which it is interested.
-
-6.2. Diameter Answer Processing
-
- When a request is locally processed, the following procedures MUST be
- applied to create the associated answer, in addition to any
- additional procedures that MAY be discussed in the Diameter
- application defining the command:
-
- o The same Hop-by-Hop Identifier in the request is used in the
- answer.
-
- o The local host's identity is encoded in the Origin-Host AVP.
-
- o The Destination-Host and Destination-Realm AVPs MUST NOT be
- present in the answer message.
-
- o The Result-Code AVP is added with its value indicating success or
- failure.
-
- o If the Session-Id is present in the request, it MUST be included
- in the answer.
-
- o Any Proxy-Info AVPs in the request MUST be added to the answer
- message, in the same order they were present in the request.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 80]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o The 'P' bit is set to the same value as the one in the request.
-
- o The same End-to-End identifier in the request is used in the
- answer.
-
- Note that the error messages (see Section 7) are also subjected to
- the above processing rules.
-
-6.2.1. Processing Received Answers
-
- A Diameter client or proxy MUST match the Hop-by-Hop Identifier in an
- answer received against the list of pending requests. The
- corresponding message should be removed from the list of pending
- requests. It SHOULD ignore answers received that do not match a
- known Hop-by-Hop Identifier.
-
-6.2.2. Relaying and Proxying Answers
-
- If the answer is for a request that was proxied or relayed, the agent
- MUST restore the original value of the Diameter header's Hop-by-Hop
- Identifier field.
-
- If the last Proxy-Info AVP in the message is targeted to the local
- Diameter server, the AVP MUST be removed before the answer is
- forwarded.
-
- If a relay or proxy agent receives an answer with a Result-Code AVP
- indicating a failure, it MUST NOT modify the contents of the AVP.
- Any additional local errors detected SHOULD be logged but not
- reflected in the Result-Code AVP. If the agent receives an answer
- message with a Result-Code AVP indicating success, and it wishes to
- modify the AVP to indicate an error, it MUST modify the Result-Code
- AVP to contain the appropriate error in the message destined towards
- the access device as well as include the Error-Reporting-Host AVP; it
- MUST also issue an STR on behalf of the access device towards the
- Diameter server.
-
- The agent MUST then send the answer to the host that it received the
- original request from.
-
-6.3. Origin-Host AVP
-
- The Origin-Host AVP (AVP Code 264) is of type DiameterIdentity, and
- it MUST be present in all Diameter messages. This AVP identifies the
- endpoint that originated the Diameter message. Relay agents MUST NOT
- modify this AVP.
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 81]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The value of the Origin-Host AVP is guaranteed to be unique within a
- single host.
-
- Note that the Origin-Host AVP may resolve to more than one address as
- the Diameter peer may support more than one address.
-
- This AVP SHOULD be placed as close to the Diameter header as
- possible.
-
-6.4. Origin-Realm AVP
-
- The Origin-Realm AVP (AVP Code 296) is of type DiameterIdentity.
- This AVP contains the Realm of the originator of any Diameter message
- and MUST be present in all messages.
-
- This AVP SHOULD be placed as close to the Diameter header as
- possible.
-
-6.5. Destination-Host AVP
-
- The Destination-Host AVP (AVP Code 293) is of type DiameterIdentity.
- This AVP MUST be present in all unsolicited agent initiated messages,
- MAY be present in request messages, and MUST NOT be present in answer
- messages.
-
- The absence of the Destination-Host AVP will cause a message to be
- sent to any Diameter server supporting the application within the
- realm specified in Destination-Realm AVP.
-
- This AVP SHOULD be placed as close to the Diameter header as
- possible.
-
-6.6. Destination-Realm AVP
-
- The Destination-Realm AVP (AVP Code 283) is of type DiameterIdentity
- and contains the realm to which the message is to be routed. The
- Destination-Realm AVP MUST NOT be present in answer messages.
- Diameter clients insert the realm portion of the User-Name AVP.
- Diameter servers initiating a request message use the value of the
- Origin-Realm AVP from a previous message received from the intended
- target host (unless it is known a priori). When present, the
- Destination-Realm AVP is used to perform message routing decisions.
-
- The CCF for a request message that includes the Destination-Realm AVP
- SHOULD list the Destination-Realm AVP as a required AVP (an AVP
- indicated as {AVP}); otherwise, the message is inherently a non-
- routable message.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 82]

-
-
- This AVP SHOULD be placed as close to the Diameter header as

-
-6.7. Routing AVPs
-
- The AVPs defined in this section are Diameter AVPs used for routing
- purposes. These AVPs change as Diameter messages are processed by
- agents.
-
-6.7.1. Route-Record AVP
-
- The Route-Record AVP (AVP Code 282) is of type DiameterIdentity. The
- identity added in this AVP MUST be the same as the one received in
- the Origin-Host of the Capabilities Exchange message.
-
-6.7.2. Proxy-Info AVP
-
- The Proxy-Info AVP (AVP Code 284) is of type Grouped. This AVP
- contains the identity and local state information of the Diameter
- node that creates and adds it to a message. The Grouped Data field
- has the following CCF grammar:
-
- Proxy-Info ::= &lt; AVP Header: 284 >
- { Proxy-Host }
- { Proxy-State }
- * [ AVP ]
-
-6.7.3. Proxy-Host AVP
-
- The Proxy-Host AVP (AVP Code 280) is of type DiameterIdentity. This
- AVP contains the identity of the host that added the Proxy-Info AVP.
-
-6.7.4. Proxy-State AVP
-
- The Proxy-State AVP (AVP Code 33) is of type OctetString. It
- contains state information that would otherwise be stored at the
- Diameter entity that created it. As such, this AVP MUST be treated
- as opaque data by other Diameter entities.
-
-6.8. Auth-Application-Id AVP
-
- The Auth-Application-Id AVP (AVP Code 258) is of type Unsigned32 and
- is used in order to advertise support of the Authentication and
- Authorization portion of an application (see Section 2.4). If
- present in a message other than CER and CEA, the value of the Auth-
- Application-Id AVP MUST match the Application Id present in the
- Diameter message header.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 83]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-6.9. Acct-Application-Id AVP
-
- The Acct-Application-Id AVP (AVP Code 259) is of type Unsigned32 and
- is used in order to advertise support of the accounting portion of an
- application (see Section 2.4). If present in a message other than
- CER and CEA, the value of the Acct-Application-Id AVP MUST match the
- Application Id present in the Diameter message header.
-
-6.10. Inband-Security-Id AVP
-
- The Inband-Security-Id AVP (AVP Code 299) is of type Unsigned32 and
- is used in order to advertise support of the security portion of the
- application. The use of this AVP in CER and CEA messages is NOT
- RECOMMENDED. Instead, discovery of a Diameter entity's security
- capabilities can be done either through static configuration or via
- Diameter Peer Discovery as described in Section 5.2.
-
- The following values are supported:
-
-
- NO_INBAND_SECURITY 0
-
- This peer does not support TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP. This is the
- default value, if the AVP is omitted.
-
- TLS 1
-
- This node supports TLS/TCP [RFC5246] and DTLS/SCTP [RFC6083]
- security.
-
-6.11. Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP
-
- The Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP (AVP Code 260) is of type
- Grouped and is used to advertise support of a vendor-specific
- Diameter application. Exactly one instance of either Auth-
- Application-Id or Acct-Application-Id AVP MUST be present. The
- Application Id carried by either Auth-Application-Id or Acct-
- Application-Id AVP MUST comply with vendor-specific Application Id
- assignment described in Section 11.3. It MUST also match the
- Application Id present in the Diameter header except when used in a
- CER or CEA message.
-
- The Vendor-Id AVP is an informational AVP pertaining to the vendor
- who may have authorship of the vendor-specific Diameter application.
- It MUST NOT be used as a means of defining a completely separate
- vendor-specific Application Id space.
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 84]

-
- The Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP SHOULD be placed as close to
- the Diameter header as possible.
-
- AVP Format
-
- &lt;Vendor-Specific-Application-Id> ::= &lt; AVP Header: 260 >
- { Vendor-Id }
- [ Auth-Application-Id ]
- [ Acct-Application-Id ]
-
- A Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVP MUST contain exactly one of
- either Auth-Application-Id or Acct-Application-Id. If a Vendor-
- Specific-Application-Id is received without one of these two AVPs,
- then the recipient SHOULD issue an answer with a Result-Code set to
- DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP. The answer SHOULD also include a Failed-AVP,
- which MUST contain an example of an Auth-Application-Id AVP and an
- Acct-Application-Id AVP.
-
- If a Vendor-Specific-Application-Id is received that contains both
- Auth-Application-Id and Acct-Application-Id, then the recipient MUST
- issue an answer with Result-Code set to
- DIAMETER_AVP_OCCURS_TOO_MANY_TIMES. The answer MUST also include a
- Failed-AVP, which MUST contain the received Auth-Application-Id AVP
- and Acct-Application-Id AVP.
-
-6.12. Redirect-Host AVP
-
- The Redirect-Host AVP (AVP Code 292) is of type DiameterURI. One or
- more instances of this AVP MUST be present if the answer message's
- 'E' bit is set and the Result-Code AVP is set to
- DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION.
-
- Upon receiving the above, the receiving Diameter node SHOULD forward
- the request directly to one of the hosts identified in these AVPs.
- The server contained in the selected Redirect-Host AVP SHOULD be used
- for all messages matching the criteria set by the Redirect-Host-Usage
- AVP.
-
-6.13. Redirect-Host-Usage AVP
-
- The Redirect-Host-Usage AVP (AVP Code 261) is of type Enumerated.
- This AVP MAY be present in answer messages whose 'E' bit is set and
- the Result-Code AVP is set to DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION.
-
- When present, this AVP provides hints about how the routing entry
- resulting from the Redirect-Host is to be used. The following values
- are supported:
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 85]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- DONT_CACHE 0
-
- The host specified in the Redirect-Host AVP SHOULD NOT be cached.
- This is the default value.
-
- ALL_SESSION 1
-
- All messages within the same session, as defined by the same value
- of the Session-ID AVP SHOULD be sent to the host specified in the
- Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- ALL_REALM 2
-
- All messages destined for the realm requested SHOULD be sent to
- the host specified in the Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- REALM_AND_APPLICATION 3
-
- All messages for the application requested to the realm specified
- SHOULD be sent to the host specified in the Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- ALL_APPLICATION 4
-
- All messages for the application requested SHOULD be sent to the
- host specified in the Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- ALL_HOST 5
-
- All messages that would be sent to the host that generated the
- Redirect-Host SHOULD be sent to the host specified in the
- Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- ALL_USER 6
-
- All messages for the user requested SHOULD be sent to the host
- specified in the Redirect-Host AVP.
-
- When multiple cached routes are created by redirect indications and
- they differ only in redirect usage and peers to forward requests to
- (see Section 6.1.8), a precedence rule MUST be applied to the
- redirect usage values of the cached routes during normal routing to
- resolve contentions that may occur. The precedence rule is the order
- that dictate which redirect usage should be considered before any
- other as they appear. The order is as follows:
-

-
-6.14. Redirect-Max-Cache-Time AVP
-
- The Redirect-Max-Cache-Time AVP (AVP Code 262) is of type Unsigned32.
- This AVP MUST be present in answer messages whose 'E' bit is set,
- whose Result-Code AVP is set to DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION, and
- whose Redirect-Host-Usage AVP set to a non-zero value.
-
- This AVP contains the maximum number of seconds the peer and route
- table entries, created as a result of the Redirect-Host, SHOULD be
- cached. Note that once a host is no longer reachable, any associated
- cache, peer, and routing table entries MUST be deleted.
-
-7. Error Handling
-
- There are two different types of errors in Diameter; protocol errors
- and application errors. A protocol error is one that occurs at the
- base protocol level and MAY require per-hop attention (e.g., a
- message routing error). Application errors, on the other hand,
- generally occur due to a problem with a function specified in a
- Diameter application (e.g., user authentication, missing AVP).
-
- Result-Code AVP values that are used to report protocol errors MUST
- only be present in answer messages whose 'E' bit is set. When a
- request message is received that causes a protocol error, an answer
- message is returned with the 'E' bit set, and the Result-Code AVP is
- set to the appropriate protocol error value. As the answer is sent
- back towards the originator of the request, each proxy or relay agent
- MAY take action on the message.

- Figure 7: Example of Protocol Error Causing Answer Message
-
- Figure 7 provides an example of a message forwarded upstream by a
- Diameter relay. When the message is received by Relay 2, and it
- detects that it cannot forward the request to the home server, an
- answer message is returned with the 'E' bit set and the Result-Code
- AVP set to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER. Given that this error falls
- within the protocol error category, Relay 1 would take special
- action, and given the error, attempt to route the message through its
- alternate Relay 3.

-
- Figure 8: Example of Application Error Answer Message
-
- Figure 8 provides an example of a Diameter message that caused an
- application error. When application errors occur, the Diameter
- entity reporting the error clears the 'R' bit in the Command Flags
- and adds the Result-Code AVP with the proper value. Application
- errors do not require any proxy or relay agent involvement;
- therefore, the message would be forwarded back to the originator of
- the request.
-
- In the case where the answer message itself contains errors, any
- related session SHOULD be terminated by sending an STR or ASR
- message. The Termination-Cause AVP in the STR MAY be filled with the
- appropriate value to indicate the cause of the error. An application
- MAY also send an application-specific request instead of an STR or
- ASR message to signal the error in the case where no state is
- maintained or to allow for some form of error recovery with the
- corresponding Diameter entity.

-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- There are certain Result-Code AVP application errors that require
- additional AVPs to be present in the answer. In these cases, the
- Diameter node that sets the Result-Code AVP to indicate the error
- MUST add the AVPs. Examples are as follows:
-
- o A request with an unrecognized AVP is received with the 'M' bit
- (Mandatory bit) set causes an answer to be sent with the Result-
- Code AVP set to DIAMETER_AVP_UNSUPPORTED and the Failed-AVP AVP
- containing the offending AVP.
-
- o A request with an AVP that is received with an unrecognized value
- causes an answer to be returned with the Result-Code AVP set to
- DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_VALUE, with the Failed-AVP AVP containing the
- AVP causing the error.
-
- o A received command that is missing AVPs that are defined as
- required in the commands CCF; examples are AVPs indicated as
- {AVP}. The receiver issues an answer with the Result-Code set to
- DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP and creates an AVP with the AVP Code and
- other fields set as expected in the missing AVP. The created AVP
- is then added to the Failed-AVP AVP.
-
- The Result-Code AVP describes the error that the Diameter node
- encountered in its processing. In case there are multiple errors,
- the Diameter node MUST report only the first error it encountered
- (detected possibly in some implementation-dependent order). The
- specific errors that can be described by this AVP are described in
- the following section.

- The Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 268) is of type Unsigned32 and
- indicates whether a particular request was completed successfully or
- an error occurred. All Diameter answer messages in IETF-defined
- Diameter application specifications MUST include one Result-Code AVP.
- A non-successful Result-Code AVP (one containing a non-2xxx value
- other than DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION) MUST include the Error-
- Reporting-Host AVP if the host setting the Result-Code AVP is
- different from the identity encoded in the Origin-Host AVP.
-
- The Result-Code data field contains an IANA-managed 32-bit address
- space representing errors (see Section 11.3.2). Diameter provides
- the following classes of errors, all identified by the thousands
- digit in the decimal notation:
-

-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o 1xxx (Informational)
-
- o 2xxx (Success)
-
- o 3xxx (Protocol Errors)
-
- o 4xxx (Transient Failures)
-
- o 5xxx (Permanent Failure)
-
- An unrecognized class (one whose first digit is not defined in this
- section) MUST be handled as a permanent failure.
-
-7.1.1. Informational
-
- Errors that fall within this category are used to inform the
- requester that a request could not be satisfied, and additional
- action is required on its part before access is granted.
-
- DIAMETER_MULTI_ROUND_AUTH 1001
-
- This informational error is returned by a Diameter server to
- inform the access device that the authentication mechanism being
- used requires multiple round trips, and a subsequent request needs
- to be issued in order for access to be granted.
-
-7.1.2. Success
-
- Errors that fall within the Success category are used to inform a
- peer that a request has been successfully completed.
-
- DIAMETER_SUCCESS 2001
-
- The request was successfully completed.
-
- DIAMETER_LIMITED_SUCCESS 2002
-
- When returned, the request was successfully completed, but
- additional processing is required by the application in order to
- provide service to the user.
-
-7.1.3. Protocol Errors
-
- Errors that fall within the Protocol Error category SHOULD be treated
- on a per-hop basis, and Diameter proxies MAY attempt to correct the
- error, if it is possible. Note that these errors MUST only be used
- in answer messages whose 'E' bit is set.
-

-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- DIAMETER_COMMAND_UNSUPPORTED 3001
-
- This error code is used when a Diameter entity receives a message
- with a Command Code that it does not support.
-
- DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER 3002
-
- This error is given when Diameter cannot deliver the message to
- the destination, either because no host within the realm
- supporting the required application was available to process the
- request or because the Destination-Host AVP was given without the
- associated Destination-Realm AVP.
-
- DIAMETER_REALM_NOT_SERVED 3003
-
- The intended realm of the request is not recognized.
-
- DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY 3004
-
- When returned, a Diameter node SHOULD attempt to send the message
- to an alternate peer. This error MUST only be used when a
- specific server is requested, and it cannot provide the requested
- service.
-
- DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED 3005
-
- An agent detected a loop while trying to get the message to the
- intended recipient. The message MAY be sent to an alternate peer,
- if one is available, but the peer reporting the error has
- identified a configuration problem.
-
- DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION 3006
-
- A redirect agent has determined that the request could not be
- satisfied locally, and the initiator of the request SHOULD direct
- the request directly to the server, whose contact information has
- been added to the response. When set, the Redirect-Host AVP MUST
- be present.
-
- DIAMETER_APPLICATION_UNSUPPORTED 3007
-
- A request was sent for an application that is not supported.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_HDR_BITS 3008
-
- A request was received whose bits in the Diameter header were set
- either to an invalid combination or to a value that is
- inconsistent with the Command Code's definition.
-

-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 91]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_BITS 3009
-
- A request was received that included an AVP whose flag bits are
- set to an unrecognized value or that is inconsistent with the
- AVP's definition.
-
- DIAMETER_UNKNOWN_PEER 3010
-
- A CER was received from an unknown peer.
-
-7.1.4. Transient Failures
-
- Errors that fall within the transient failures category are used to
- inform a peer that the request could not be satisfied at the time it
- was received but MAY be able to satisfy the request in the future.
- Note that these errors MUST be used in answer messages whose 'E' bit
- is not set.
-
- DIAMETER_AUTHENTICATION_REJECTED 4001
-
- The authentication process for the user failed, most likely due to
- an invalid password used by the user. Further attempts MUST only
- be tried after prompting the user for a new password.
-
- DIAMETER_OUT_OF_SPACE 4002
-
- A Diameter node received the accounting request but was unable to
- commit it to stable storage due to a temporary lack of space.
-
- ELECTION_LOST 4003
-
- The peer has determined that it has lost the election process and
- has therefore disconnected the transport connection.
-
-7.1.5. Permanent Failures
-
- Errors that fall within the permanent failures category are used to
- inform the peer that the request failed and should not be attempted
- again. Note that these errors SHOULD be used in answer messages
- whose 'E' bit is not set. In error conditions where it is not
- possible or efficient to compose application-specific answer grammar,
- answer messages with the 'E' bit set and which comply to the grammar
- described in Section 7.2 MAY also be used for permanent errors.

-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- DIAMETER_AVP_UNSUPPORTED 5001
-
- The peer received a message that contained an AVP that is not
- recognized or supported and was marked with the 'M' (Mandatory)
- bit. A Diameter message with this error MUST contain one or more
- Failed-AVP AVPs containing the AVPs that caused the failure.
-
- DIAMETER_UNKNOWN_SESSION_ID 5002
-
- The request contained an unknown Session-Id.
-
- DIAMETER_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED 5003
-
- A request was received for which the user could not be authorized.
- This error could occur if the service requested is not permitted
- to the user.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_VALUE 5004
-
- The request contained an AVP with an invalid value in its data
- portion. A Diameter message indicating this error MUST include
- the offending AVPs within a Failed-AVP AVP.
-
- DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP 5005
-
- The request did not contain an AVP that is required by the Command
- Code definition. If this value is sent in the Result-Code AVP, a
- Failed-AVP AVP SHOULD be included in the message. The Failed-AVP
- AVP MUST contain an example of the missing AVP complete with the
- Vendor-Id if applicable. The value field of the missing AVP
- should be of correct minimum length and contain zeroes.
-
- DIAMETER_RESOURCES_EXCEEDED 5006
-
- A request was received that cannot be authorized because the user
- has already expended allowed resources. An example of this error
- condition is when a user that is restricted to one dial-up PPP
- port attempts to establish a second PPP connection.
-
- DIAMETER_CONTRADICTING_AVPS 5007
-
- The Home Diameter server has detected AVPs in the request that
- contradicted each other, and it is not willing to provide service
- to the user. The Failed-AVP AVP MUST be present, which contain
- the AVPs that contradicted each other.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 93]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- DIAMETER_AVP_NOT_ALLOWED 5008
-
- A message was received with an AVP that MUST NOT be present. The
- Failed-AVP AVP MUST be included and contain a copy of the
- offending AVP.
-
- DIAMETER_AVP_OCCURS_TOO_MANY_TIMES 5009
-
- A message was received that included an AVP that appeared more
- often than permitted in the message definition. The Failed-AVP
- AVP MUST be included and contain a copy of the first instance of
- the offending AVP that exceeded the maximum number of occurrences.
-
- DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_APPLICATION 5010
-
- This error is returned by a Diameter node that receives a CER
- whereby no applications are common between the CER sending peer
- and the CER receiving peer.
-
- DIAMETER_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION 5011
-
- This error is returned when a request was received, whose version
- number is unsupported.
-
- DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY 5012
-
- This error is returned when a request is rejected for unspecified
- reasons.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_BIT_IN_HEADER 5013
-
- This error is returned when a reserved bit in the Diameter header
- is set to one (1) or the bits in the Diameter header are set
- incorrectly.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH 5014
-
- The request contained an AVP with an invalid length. A Diameter
- message indicating this error MUST include the offending AVPs
- within a Failed-AVP AVP. In cases where the erroneous AVP length
- value exceeds the message length or is less than the minimum AVP
- header length, it is sufficient to include the offending AVP
- header and a zero filled payload of the minimum required length
- for the payloads data type. If the AVP is a Grouped AVP, the
- Grouped AVP header with an empty payload would be sufficient to
- indicate the offending AVP. In the case where the offending AVP
- header cannot be fully decoded when the AVP length is less than
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 94]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- the minimum AVP header length, it is sufficient to include an
- offending AVP header that is formulated by padding the incomplete
- AVP header with zero up to the minimum AVP header length.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_MESSAGE_LENGTH 5015
-
- This error is returned when a request is received with an invalid
- message length.
-
- DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_BIT_COMBO 5016
-
- The request contained an AVP with which is not allowed to have the
- given value in the AVP Flags field. A Diameter message indicating
- this error MUST include the offending AVPs within a Failed-AVP
- AVP.
-
- DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_SECURITY 5017
-
- This error is returned when a CER message is received, and there
- are no common security mechanisms supported between the peers. A
- Capabilities-Exchange-Answer (CEA) message MUST be returned with
- the Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_NO_COMMON_SECURITY.
-
-7.2. Error Bit
-
- The 'E' (Error Bit) in the Diameter header is set when the request
- caused a protocol-related error (see Section 7.1.3). A message with
- the 'E' bit MUST NOT be sent as a response to an answer message.
- Note that a message with the 'E' bit set is still subjected to the
- processing rules defined in Section 6.2. When set, the answer
- message will not conform to the CCF specification for the command;
- instead, it and will conform to the following CCF:
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;answer-message> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: code, ERR [, PXY] >
- 0*1&lt; Session-Id >
- { Origin-Host }
- { Origin-Realm }
- { Result-Code }
- [ Origin-State-Id ]
- [ Error-Message ]
- [ Error-Reporting-Host ]
- [ Failed-AVP ]
- [ Experimental-Result ]
- * [ Proxy-Info ]
- * [ AVP ]
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 95]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Note that the code used in the header is the same than the one found
- in the request message, but with the 'R' bit cleared and the 'E' bit
- set. The 'P' bit in the header is set to the same value as the one
- found in the request message.
-
-7.3. Error-Message AVP
-
- The Error-Message AVP (AVP Code 281) is of type UTF8String. It MAY
- accompany a Result-Code AVP as a human-readable error message. The
- Error-Message AVP is not intended to be useful in an environment
- where error messages are processed automatically. It SHOULD NOT be
- expected that the content of this AVP be parsed by network entities.
-
-7.4. Error-Reporting-Host AVP
-
- The Error-Reporting-Host AVP (AVP Code 294) is of type
- DiameterIdentity. This AVP contains the identity of the Diameter
- host that sent the Result-Code AVP to a value other than 2001
- (Success), only if the host setting the Result-Code is different from
- the one encoded in the Origin-Host AVP. This AVP is intended to be
- used for troubleshooting purposes, and it MUST be set when the
- Result-Code AVP indicates a failure.
-
-7.5. Failed-AVP AVP
-
- The Failed-AVP AVP (AVP Code 279) is of type Grouped and provides
- debugging information in cases where a request is rejected or not
- fully processed due to erroneous information in a specific AVP. The
- value of the Result-Code AVP will provide information on the reason
- for the Failed-AVP AVP. A Diameter answer message SHOULD contain an
- instance of the Failed-AVP AVP that corresponds to the error
- indicated by the Result-Code AVP. For practical purposes, this
- Failed-AVP would typically refer to the first AVP processing error
- that a Diameter node encounters.
-
- The possible reasons for this AVP are the presence of an improperly
- constructed AVP, an unsupported or unrecognized AVP, an invalid AVP
- value, the omission of a required AVP, the presence of an explicitly
- excluded AVP (see tables in Section 10) or the presence of two or
- more occurrences of an AVP that is restricted to 0, 1, or 0-1
- occurrences.
-
- A Diameter message SHOULD contain one Failed-AVP AVP, containing the
- entire AVP that could not be processed successfully. If the failure
- reason is omission of a required AVP, an AVP with the missing AVP
- code, the missing Vendor-Id, and a zero-filled payload of the minimum
- required length for the omitted AVP will be added. If the failure
- reason is an invalid AVP length where the reported length is less
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 96]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- than the minimum AVP header length or greater than the reported
- message length, a copy of the offending AVP header and a zero-filled
- payload of the minimum required length SHOULD be added.
-
- In the case where the offending AVP is embedded within a Grouped AVP,
- the Failed-AVP MAY contain the grouped AVP, which in turn contains
- the single offending AVP. The same method MAY be employed if the
- grouped AVP itself is embedded in yet another grouped AVP and so on.
- In this case, the Failed-AVP MAY contain the grouped AVP hierarchy up
- to the single offending AVP. This enables the recipient to detect
- the location of the offending AVP when embedded in a group.
-
- AVP Format
-
- &lt;Failed-AVP> ::= &lt; AVP Header: 279 >
- 1* {AVP}
-
-7.6. Experimental-Result AVP
-
- The Experimental-Result AVP (AVP Code 297) is of type Grouped, and
- indicates whether a particular vendor-specific request was completed
- successfully or whether an error occurred. This AVP has the
- following structure:
-
- AVP Format
-
- Experimental-Result ::= &lt; AVP Header: 297 >
- { Vendor-Id }
- { Experimental-Result-Code }
-
- The Vendor-Id AVP (see Section 5.3.3) in this grouped AVP identifies
- the vendor responsible for the assignment of the result code that
- follows. All Diameter answer messages defined in vendor-specific
- applications MUST include either one Result-Code AVP or one
- Experimental-Result AVP.
-
-7.7. Experimental-Result-Code AVP
-
- The Experimental-Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 298) is of type Unsigned32
- and contains a vendor-assigned value representing the result of
- processing the request.
-
- It is recommended that vendor-specific result codes follow the same
- conventions given for the Result-Code AVP regarding the different
- types of result codes and the handling of errors (for non-2xxx
- values).

-
-8. Diameter User Sessions
-
- In general, Diameter can provide two different types of services to
- applications. The first involves authentication and authorization,
- and it can optionally make use of accounting. The second only makes
- use of accounting.
-
- When a service makes use of the authentication and/or authorization
- portion of an application, and a user requests access to the network,
- the Diameter client issues an auth request to its local server. The
- auth request is defined in a service-specific Diameter application
- (e.g., NASREQ). The request contains a Session-Id AVP, which is used
- in subsequent messages (e.g., subsequent authorization, accounting,
- etc.) relating to the user's session. The Session-Id AVP is a means
- for the client and servers to correlate a Diameter message with a
- user session.
-
- When a Diameter server authorizes a user to implement network
- resources for a finite amount of time, and it is willing to extend
- the authorization via a future request, it MUST add the
- Authorization- Lifetime AVP to the answer message. The
- Authorization-Lifetime AVP defines the maximum number of seconds a
- user MAY make use of the resources before another authorization
- request is expected by the server. The Auth-Grace-Period AVP
- contains the number of seconds following the expiration of the
- Authorization-Lifetime, after which the server will release all state
- information related to the user's session. Note that if payment for
- services is expected by the serving realm from the user's home realm,
- the Authorization-Lifetime AVP, combined with the Auth-Grace-Period
- AVP, implies the maximum length of the session for which the home
- realm is willing to be fiscally responsible. Services provided past
- the expiration of the Authorization-Lifetime and Auth-Grace-Period
- AVPs are the responsibility of the access device. Of course, the
- actual cost of services rendered is clearly outside the scope of the
- protocol.
-
- An access device that does not expect to send a re-authorization or a
- session termination request to the server MAY include the Auth-
- Session-State AVP with the value set to NO_STATE_MAINTAINED as a hint
- to the server. If the server accepts the hint, it agrees that since
- no session termination message will be received once service to the
- user is terminated, it cannot maintain state for the session. If the
- answer message from the server contains a different value in the
- Auth-Session-State AVP (or the default value if the AVP is absent),
- the access device MUST follow the server's directives. Note that the
- value NO_STATE_MAINTAINED MUST NOT be set in subsequent re-
- authorization requests and answers.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 98]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The base protocol does not include any authorization request
- messages, since these are largely application-specific and are
- defined in a Diameter application document. However, the base
- protocol does define a set of messages that are used to terminate
- user sessions. These are used to allow servers that maintain state
- information to free resources.
-
- When a service only makes use of the accounting portion of the
- Diameter protocol, even in combination with an application, the
- Session-Id is still used to identify user sessions. However, the
- session termination messages are not used, since a session is
- signaled as being terminated by issuing an accounting stop message.
-
- Diameter may also be used for services that cannot be easily
- categorized as authentication, authorization, or accounting (e.g.,
- certain Third Generation Partnership Project Internet Multimedia
- System (3GPP IMS) interfaces). In such cases, the finite state
- machine defined in subsequent sections may not be applicable.
- Therefore, the application itself MAY need to define its own finite
- state machine. However, such application-specific state machines
- SHOULD follow the general state machine framework outlined in this
- document such as the use of Session-Id AVPs and the use of STR/STA,
- ASR/ASA messages for stateful sessions.
-
-8.1. Authorization Session State Machine
-
- This section contains a set of finite state machines, which represent
- the life cycle of Diameter sessions and which MUST be observed by all
- Diameter implementations that make use of the authentication and/or
- authorization portion of a Diameter application. The term "Service-
- Specific" below refers to a message defined in a Diameter application
- (e.g., Mobile IPv4, NASREQ).
-
- There are four different authorization session state machines
- supported in the Diameter base protocol. The first two describe a
- session in which the server is maintaining session state, indicated
- by the value of the Auth-Session-State AVP (or its absence). One
- describes the session from a client perspective, the other from a
- server perspective. The second two state machines are used when the
- server does not maintain session state. Here again, one describes
- the session from a client perspective, the other from a server
- perspective.
-
- When a session is moved to the Idle state, any resources that were
- allocated for the particular session must be released. Any event not
- listed in the state machines MUST be considered an error condition,
- and an answer, if applicable, MUST be returned to the originator of
- the message.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 99]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- In the case that an application does not support re-auth, the state
- transitions related to server-initiated re-auth, when both client and
- server sessions maintain state (e.g., Send RAR, Pending, Receive
- RAA), MAY be ignored.
-
- In the state table, the event "Failure to send X" means that the
- Diameter agent is unable to send command X to the desired
- destination. This could be due to the peer being down or due to the
- peer sending back a transient failure or temporary protocol error
- notification DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY or DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED in the
- Result-Code AVP of the corresponding Answer command. The event 'X
- successfully sent' is the complement of 'Failure to send X'.
-
- The following state machine is observed by a client when state is
- maintained on the server:

- The following state machines MUST be supported for applications that
- have an accounting portion or that require only accounting services.
- The first state machine is to be observed by clients.
-
- See Section 9.7 for Accounting Command Codes and Section 9.8 for
- Accounting AVPs.
-
- The server side in the accounting state machine depends in some cases
- on the particular application. The Diameter base protocol defines a
- default state machine that MUST be followed by all applications that
- have not specified other state machines. This is the second state
- machine in this section described below.
-
- The default server side state machine requires the reception of
- accounting records in any order and at any time, and it does not
- place any standards requirement on the processing of these records.
- Implementations of Diameter may perform checking, ordering,
- correlation, fraud detection, and other tasks based on these records.
- AVPs may need to be inspected as a part of these tasks. The tasks
- can happen either immediately after record reception or in a post-
- processing phase. However, as these tasks are typically application
- or even policy dependent, they are not standardized by the Diameter
- specifications. Applications MAY define requirements on when to
- accept accounting records based on the used value of Accounting-
- Realtime-Required AVP, credit-limit checks, and so on.
-
- However, the Diameter base protocol defines one optional server side
- state machine that MAY be followed by applications that require
- keeping track of the session state at the accounting server. Note
- that such tracking is incompatible with the ability to sustain long
- duration connectivity problems. Therefore, the use of this state
- machine is recommended only in applications where the value of the
- Accounting-Realtime-Required AVP is DELIVER_AND_GRANT; hence,
- accounting connectivity problems are required to cause the serviced
- user to be disconnected. Otherwise, records produced by the client
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 104]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- may be lost by the server, which no longer accepts them after the
- connectivity is re-established. This state machine is the third
- state machine in this section. The state machine is supervised by a
- supervision session timer Ts, whose value should be reasonably higher
- than the Acct_Interim_Interval value. Ts MAY be set to two times the
- value of the Acct_Interim_Interval so as to avoid the accounting
- session in the Diameter server to change to Idle state in case of
- short transient network failure.
-
- Any event not listed in the state machines MUST be considered as an
- error condition, and a corresponding answer, if applicable, MUST be
- returned to the originator of the message.
-
- In the state table, the event "Failure to send" means that the
- Diameter client is unable to communicate with the desired
- destination. This could be due to the peer being down, or due to the
- peer sending back a transient failure or temporary protocol error
- notification DIAMETER_OUT_OF_SPACE, DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY, or
- DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED in the Result-Code AVP of the Accounting
- Answer command.
-
- The event "Failed answer" means that the Diameter client received a
- non-transient failure notification in the Accounting Answer command.
-
- Note that the action "Disconnect user/dev" MUST also have an effect
- on the authorization session state table, e.g., cause the STR message
- to be sent, if the given application has both authentication/
- authorization and accounting portions.
-
- The states PendingS, PendingI, PendingL, PendingE, and PendingB stand
- for pending states to wait for an answer to an accounting request
- related to a Start, Interim, Stop, Event, or buffered record,
- respectively.

-8.3. Server-Initiated Re-Auth
-
- A Diameter server may initiate a re-authentication and/or re-
- authorization service for a particular session by issuing a Re-Auth-
- Request (RAR).
-
- For example, for prepaid services, the Diameter server that
- originally authorized a session may need some confirmation that the
- user is still using the services.
-
- An access device that receives an RAR message with the Session-Id
- equal to a currently active session MUST initiate a re-auth towards
- the user, if the service supports this particular feature. Each
- Diameter application MUST state whether server-initiated re-auth is
- supported, since some applications do not allow access devices to
- prompt the user for re-auth.
-
-8.3.1. Re-Auth-Request
-
- The Re-Auth-Request (RAR), indicated by the Command Code set to 258
- and the message flags' 'R' bit set, may be sent by any server to the
- access device that is providing session service, to request that the
- user be re-authenticated and/or re-authorized.
-
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;RAR> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 258, REQ, PXY >
- &lt; Session-Id >
- { Origin-Host }
- { Origin-Realm }
- { Destination-Realm }
- { Destination-Host }

- { Re-Auth-Request-Type }
- [ User-Name ]
- [ Origin-State-Id ]
- * [ Proxy-Info ]
- * [ Route-Record ]
- * [ AVP ]
-
-8.3.2. Re-Auth-Answer
-
- The Re-Auth-Answer (RAA), indicated by the Command Code set to 258
- and the message flags' 'R' bit clear, is sent in response to the RAR.
- The Result-Code AVP MUST be present, and it indicates the disposition
- of the request.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 110]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- A successful RAA message MUST be followed by an application-specific
- authentication and/or authorization message.

-
-8.4. Session Termination
-
- It is necessary for a Diameter server that authorized a session, for
- which it is maintaining state, to be notified when that session is no
- longer active, both for tracking purposes as well as to allow
- stateful agents to release any resources that they may have provided
- for the user's session. For sessions whose state is not being
- maintained, this section is not used.
-
- When a user session that required Diameter authorization terminates,
- the access device that provided the service MUST issue a Session-
- Termination-Request (STR) message to the Diameter server that
- authorized the service, to notify it that the session is no longer
- active. An STR MUST be issued when a user session terminates for any
- reason, including user logoff, expiration of Session-Timeout,
- administrative action, termination upon receipt of an Abort-Session-
- Request (see below), orderly shutdown of the access device, etc.
-
- The access device also MUST issue an STR for a session that was
- authorized but never actually started. This could occur, for
- example, due to a sudden resource shortage in the access device, or
- because the access device is unwilling to provide the type of service
- requested in the authorization, or because the access device does not
- support a mandatory AVP returned in the authorization, etc.
-
- It is also possible that a session that was authorized is never
- actually started due to action of a proxy. For example, a proxy may
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 111]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- modify an authorization answer, converting the result from success to
- failure, prior to forwarding the message to the access device. If
- the answer did not contain an Auth-Session-State AVP with the value
- NO_STATE_MAINTAINED, a proxy that causes an authorized session not to
- be started MUST issue an STR to the Diameter server that authorized
- the session, since the access device has no way of knowing that the
- session had been authorized.
-
- A Diameter server that receives an STR message MUST clean up
- resources (e.g., session state) associated with the Session-Id
- specified in the STR and return a Session-Termination-Answer.
-
- A Diameter server also MUST clean up resources when the Session-
- Timeout expires, or when the Authorization-Lifetime and the Auth-
- Grace-Period AVPs expire without receipt of a re-authorization
- request, regardless of whether an STR for that session is received.
- The access device is not expected to provide service beyond the
- expiration of these timers; thus, expiration of either of these
- timers implies that the access device may have unexpectedly shut
- down.
-
-8.4.1. Session-Termination-Request
-
- The Session-Termination-Request (STR), indicated by the Command Code
- set to 275 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit set, is sent by a Diameter
- client or by a Diameter proxy to inform the Diameter server that an
- authenticated and/or authorized session is being terminated.
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;STR> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 275, REQ, PXY >
- &lt; Session-Id >
- { Origin-Host }
- { Origin-Realm }
- { Destination-Realm }

-
-
-8.4.2. Session-Termination-Answer
-
- The Session-Termination-Answer (STA), indicated by the Command Code
- set to 275 and the message flags' 'R' bit clear, is sent by the
- Diameter server to acknowledge the notification that the session has
- been terminated. The Result-Code AVP MUST be present, and it MAY
- contain an indication that an error occurred while servicing the STR.
-
- Upon sending or receipt of the STA, the Diameter server MUST release
- all resources for the session indicated by the Session-Id AVP. Any
- intermediate server in the Proxy-Chain MAY also release any
- resources, if necessary.
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;STA> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 275, PXY >

-
-8.5. Aborting a Session
-
- A Diameter server may request that the access device stop providing
- service for a particular session by issuing an Abort-Session-Request
- (ASR).
-
- For example, the Diameter server that originally authorized the
- session may be required to cause that session to be stopped for lack
- of credit or other reasons that were not anticipated when the session
- was first authorized.
-
- An access device that receives an ASR with Session-ID equal to a
- currently active session MAY stop the session. Whether the access
- device stops the session or not is implementation and/or
- configuration dependent. For example, an access device may honor
- ASRs from certain agents only. In any case, the access device MUST
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 113]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- respond with an Abort-Session-Answer, including a Result-Code AVP to
- indicate what action it took.
-
-8.5.1. Abort-Session-Request
-
- The Abort-Session-Request (ASR), indicated by the Command Code set to
- 274 and the message flags' 'R' bit set, may be sent by any Diameter
- server or any Diameter proxy to the access device that is providing
- session service, to request that the session identified by the
- Session-Id be stopped.
-
- Message Format
-
- &lt;ASR> ::= &lt; Diameter Header: 274, REQ, PXY >
- &lt; Session-Id >
- { Origin-Host }
- { Origin-Realm }
- { Destination-Realm }
- { Destination-Host }
- { Auth-Application-Id }
- [ User-Name ]
- [ Origin-State-Id ]
- * [ Proxy-Info ]
- * [ Route-Record ]
- * [ AVP ]
-
-8.5.2. Abort-Session-Answer
-
- The Abort-Session-Answer (ASA), indicated by the Command Code set to
- 274 and the message flags' 'R' bit clear, is sent in response to the
- ASR. The Result-Code AVP MUST be present and indicates the
- disposition of the request.
-
- If the session identified by Session-Id in the ASR was successfully
- terminated, the Result-Code is set to DIAMETER_SUCCESS. If the
- session is not currently active, the Result-Code is set to
- DIAMETER_UNKNOWN_SESSION_ID. If the access device does not stop the
- session for any other reason, the Result-Code is set to
- DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY.

-
-8.6. Inferring Session Termination from Origin-State-Id
-
- The Origin-State-Id is used to allow detection of terminated sessions
- for which no STR would have been issued, due to unanticipated
- shutdown of an access device.
-
- A Diameter client or access device increments the value of the
- Origin-State-Id every time it is started or powered up. The new
- Origin-State-Id is then sent in the CER/CEA message immediately upon
- connection to the server. The Diameter server receiving the new
- Origin-State-Id can determine whether the sending Diameter client had
- abruptly shut down by comparing the old value of the Origin-State-Id
- it has kept for that specific client is less than the new value and
- whether it has un-terminated sessions originating from that client.
-
- An access device can also include the Origin-State-Id in request
- messages other than the CER if there are relays or proxies in between
- the access device and the server. In this case, however, the server
- cannot discover that the access device has been restarted unless and
- until it receives a new request from it. Therefore, this mechanism
- is more opportunistic across proxies and relays.
-
- The Diameter server may assume that all sessions that were active
- prior to detection of a client restart have been terminated. The
- Diameter server MAY clean up all session state associated with such
- lost sessions, and it MAY also issue STRs for all such lost sessions
- that were authorized on upstream servers, to allow session state to
- be cleaned up globally.
-
-

-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 115]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-8.7. Auth-Request-Type AVP
-
- The Auth-Request-Type AVP (AVP Code 274) is of type Enumerated and is
- included in application-specific auth requests to inform the peers
- whether a user is to be authenticated only, authorized only, or both.
- Note any value other than both MAY cause RADIUS interoperability
- issues. The following values are defined:
-
- AUTHENTICATE_ONLY 1
-
- The request being sent is for authentication only, and it MUST
- contain the relevant application-specific authentication AVPs that
- are needed by the Diameter server to authenticate the user.
-
- AUTHORIZE_ONLY 2
-
- The request being sent is for authorization only, and it MUST
- contain the application-specific authorization AVPs that are
- necessary to identify the service being requested/offered.
-
- AUTHORIZE_AUTHENTICATE 3
-
- The request contains a request for both authentication and
- authorization. The request MUST include both the relevant
- application-specific authentication information and authorization
- information necessary to identify the service being requested/
- offered.
-
-8.8. Session-Id AVP
-
- The Session-Id AVP (AVP Code 263) is of type UTF8String and is used
- to identify a specific session (see Section 8). All messages
- pertaining to a specific session MUST include only one Session-Id
- AVP, and the same value MUST be used throughout the life of a
- session. When present, the Session-Id SHOULD appear immediately
- following the Diameter header (see Section 3).
-
- The Session-Id MUST be globally and eternally unique, as it is meant
- to uniquely identify a user session without reference to any other
- information, and it may be needed to correlate historical
- authentication information with accounting information. The
- Session-Id includes a mandatory portion and an implementation-defined
- portion; a recommended format for the implementation-defined portion
- is outlined below.
-
- The Session-Id MUST begin with the sender's identity encoded in the
- DiameterIdentity type (see Section 4.3.1). The remainder of the
- Session-Id is delimited by a ";" character, and it MAY be any
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 116]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- sequence that the client can guarantee to be eternally unique;
- however, the following format is recommended, (square brackets []
- indicate an optional element):
-
- &lt;DiameterIdentity>;&lt;high 32 bits>;&lt;low 32 bits>[;&lt;optional value>]
-
- &lt;high 32 bits> and &lt;low 32 bits> are decimal representations of the
- high and low 32 bits of a monotonically increasing 64-bit value. The
- 64-bit value is rendered in two part to simplify formatting by 32-bit
- processors. At startup, the high 32 bits of the 64-bit value MAY be
- initialized to the time in NTP format [RFC5905], and the low 32 bits
- MAY be initialized to zero. This will for practical purposes
- eliminate the possibility of overlapping Session-Ids after a reboot,
- assuming the reboot process takes longer than a second.
- Alternatively, an implementation MAY keep track of the increasing
- value in non-volatile memory.
-
-
- &lt;optional value> is implementation specific, but it may include a
- modem's device Id, a Layer 2 address, timestamp, etc.
-
- Example, in which there is no optional value:
-
- accesspoint7.example.com;1876543210;523
-
- Example, in which there is an optional value:
-
- accesspoint7.example.com;1876543210;523;[email protected]
-
- The Session-Id is created by the Diameter application initiating the
- session, which, in most cases, is done by the client. Note that a
- Session-Id MAY be used for both the authentication, authorization,
- and accounting commands of a given application.
-
-8.9. Authorization-Lifetime AVP
-
- The Authorization-Lifetime AVP (AVP Code 291) is of type Unsigned32
- and contains the maximum number of seconds of service to be provided
- to the user before the user is to be re-authenticated and/or re-
- authorized. Care should be taken when the Authorization-Lifetime
- value is determined, since a low, non-zero value could create
- significant Diameter traffic, which could congest both the network
- and the agents.
-
- A value of zero (0) means that immediate re-auth is necessary by the
- access device. The absence of this AVP, or a value of all ones
- (meaning all bits in the 32-bit field are set to one) means no re-
- auth is expected.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 117]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- If both this AVP and the Session-Timeout AVP are present in a
- message, the value of the latter MUST NOT be smaller than the
- Authorization-Lifetime AVP.
-
- An Authorization-Lifetime AVP MAY be present in re-authorization
- messages, and it contains the number of seconds the user is
- authorized to receive service from the time the re-auth answer
- message is received by the access device.
-
- This AVP MAY be provided by the client as a hint of the maximum
- lifetime that it is willing to accept. The server MUST return a
- value that is equal to, or smaller than, the one provided by the
- client.
-
-8.10. Auth-Grace-Period AVP
-
- The Auth-Grace-Period AVP (AVP Code 276) is of type Unsigned32 and
- contains the number of seconds the Diameter server will wait
- following the expiration of the Authorization-Lifetime AVP before
- cleaning up resources for the session.
-
-8.11. Auth-Session-State AVP
-
- The Auth-Session-State AVP (AVP Code 277) is of type Enumerated and
- specifies whether state is maintained for a particular session. The
- client MAY include this AVP in requests as a hint to the server, but
- the value in the server's answer message is binding. The following
- values are supported:
-
- STATE_MAINTAINED 0
-
- This value is used to specify that session state is being
- maintained, and the access device MUST issue a session termination
- message when service to the user is terminated. This is the
- default value.
-
- NO_STATE_MAINTAINED 1
-
- This value is used to specify that no session termination messages
- will be sent by the access device upon expiration of the
- Authorization-Lifetime.
-
-8.12. Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP
-
- The Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP (AVP Code 285) is of type Enumerated and
- is included in application-specific auth answers to inform the client
- of the action expected upon expiration of the Authorization-Lifetime.
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 118]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- If the answer message contains an Authorization-Lifetime AVP with a
- positive value, the Re-Auth-Request-Type AVP MUST be present in an
- answer message. The following values are defined:
-
- AUTHORIZE_ONLY 0
-
- An authorization only re-auth is expected upon expiration of the
- Authorization-Lifetime. This is the default value if the AVP is
- not present in answer messages that include the Authorization-
- Lifetime.
-
- AUTHORIZE_AUTHENTICATE 1
-
- An authentication and authorization re-auth is expected upon
- expiration of the Authorization-Lifetime.
-
-8.13. Session-Timeout AVP
-
- The Session-Timeout AVP (AVP Code 27) [RFC2865] is of type Unsigned32
- and contains the maximum number of seconds of service to be provided
- to the user before termination of the session. When both the
- Session-Timeout and the Authorization-Lifetime AVPs are present in an
- answer message, the former MUST be equal to or greater than the value
- of the latter.
-
- A session that terminates on an access device due to the expiration
- of the Session-Timeout MUST cause an STR to be issued, unless both
- the access device and the home server had previously agreed that no
- session termination messages would be sent (see Section 8).
-
- A Session-Timeout AVP MAY be present in a re-authorization answer
- message, and it contains the remaining number of seconds from the
- beginning of the re-auth.
-
- A value of zero, or the absence of this AVP, means that this session
- has an unlimited number of seconds before termination.
-
- This AVP MAY be provided by the client as a hint of the maximum
- timeout that it is willing to accept. However, the server MAY return
- a value that is equal to, or smaller than, the one provided by the
- client.
-
-8.14. User-Name AVP
-
- The User-Name AVP (AVP Code 1) [RFC2865] is of type UTF8String, which
- contains the User-Name, in a format consistent with the NAI
- specification [RFC4282].

-
-
-8.15. Termination-Cause AVP
-
- The Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code 295) is of type Enumerated, and
- is used to indicate the reason why a session was terminated on the
- access device. The currently assigned values for this AVP can be
- found in the IANA registry for Termination-Cause AVP Values
- [IANATCV].
-
-8.16. Origin-State-Id AVP
-
- The Origin-State-Id AVP (AVP Code 278), of type Unsigned32, is a
- monotonically increasing value that is advanced whenever a Diameter
- entity restarts with loss of previous state, for example, upon
- reboot. Origin-State-Id MAY be included in any Diameter message,
- including CER.
-
- A Diameter entity issuing this AVP MUST create a higher value for
- this AVP each time its state is reset. A Diameter entity MAY set
- Origin-State-Id to the time of startup, or it MAY use an incrementing
- counter retained in non-volatile memory across restarts.
-
- The Origin-State-Id, if present, MUST reflect the state of the entity
- indicated by Origin-Host. If a proxy modifies Origin-Host, it MUST
- either remove Origin-State-Id or modify it appropriately as well.
- Typically, Origin-State-Id is used by an access device that always
- starts up with no active sessions; that is, any session active prior
- to restart will have been lost. By including Origin-State-Id in a
- message, it allows other Diameter entities to infer that sessions
- associated with a lower Origin-State-Id are no longer active. If an
- access device does not intend for such inferences to be made, it MUST
- either not include Origin-State-Id in any message or set its value to
- 0.
-
-8.17. Session-Binding AVP
-
- The Session-Binding AVP (AVP Code 270) is of type Unsigned32, and it
- MAY be present in application-specific authorization answer messages.
- If present, this AVP MAY inform the Diameter client that all future
- application-specific re-auth and Session-Termination-Request messages
- for this session MUST be sent to the same authorization server.

- This field is a bit mask, and the following bits have been defined:
-
- RE_AUTH 1
-
- When set, future re-auth messages for this session MUST NOT
- include the Destination-Host AVP. When cleared, the default
- value, the Destination-Host AVP MUST be present in all re-auth
- messages for this session.
-
- STR 2
-
- When set, the STR message for this session MUST NOT include the
- Destination-Host AVP. When cleared, the default value, the
- Destination-Host AVP MUST be present in the STR message for this
- session.
-
- ACCOUNTING 4
-
- When set, all accounting messages for this session MUST NOT
- include the Destination-Host AVP. When cleared, the default
- value, the Destination-Host AVP, if known, MUST be present in all
- accounting messages for this session.
-
-8.18. Session-Server-Failover AVP
-
- The Session-Server-Failover AVP (AVP Code 271) is of type Enumerated
- and MAY be present in application-specific authorization answer
- messages that either do not include the Session-Binding AVP or
- include the Session-Binding AVP with any of the bits set to a zero
- value. If present, this AVP MAY inform the Diameter client that if a
- re-auth or STR message fails due to a delivery problem, the Diameter
- client SHOULD issue a subsequent message without the Destination-Host
- AVP. When absent, the default value is REFUSE_SERVICE.
-
- The following values are supported:
-
- REFUSE_SERVICE 0
-
- If either the re-auth or the STR message delivery fails, terminate
- service with the user and do not attempt any subsequent attempts.

-
- If either the re-auth or the STR message delivery fails, resend
- the failed message without the Destination-Host AVP present.
-
- ALLOW_SERVICE 2
-
- If re-auth message delivery fails, assume that re-authorization
- succeeded. If STR message delivery fails, terminate the session.
-
- TRY_AGAIN_ALLOW_SERVICE 3
-
- If either the re-auth or the STR message delivery fails, resend
- the failed message without the Destination-Host AVP present. If
- the second delivery fails for re-auth, assume re-authorization
- succeeded. If the second delivery fails for STR, terminate the
- session.
-
-8.19. Multi-Round-Time-Out AVP
-
- The Multi-Round-Time-Out AVP (AVP Code 272) is of type Unsigned32 and
- SHOULD be present in application-specific authorization answer
- messages whose Result-Code AVP is set to DIAMETER_MULTI_ROUND_AUTH.
- This AVP contains the maximum number of seconds that the access
- device MUST provide the user in responding to an authentication
- request.
-
-8.20. Class AVP
-
- The Class AVP (AVP Code 25) is of type OctetString and is used by
- Diameter servers to return state information to the access device.
- When one or more Class AVPs are present in application-specific
- authorization answer messages, they MUST be present in subsequent re-
- authorization, session termination and accounting messages. Class
- AVPs found in a re-authorization answer message override the ones
- found in any previous authorization answer message. Diameter server
- implementations SHOULD NOT return Class AVPs that require more than
- 4096 bytes of storage on the Diameter client. A Diameter client that
- receives Class AVPs whose size exceeds local available storage MUST
- terminate the session.
-
-8.21. Event-Timestamp AVP
-
- The Event-Timestamp (AVP Code 55) is of type Time and MAY be included
- in an Accounting-Request and Accounting-Answer messages to record the
- time that the reported event occurred, in seconds since January 1,
- 1900 00:00 UTC.

-
-9. Accounting
-
- This accounting protocol is based on a server directed model with
- capabilities for real-time delivery of accounting information.
- Several fault resilience methods [RFC2975] have been built into the
- protocol in order minimize loss of accounting data in various fault
- situations and under different assumptions about the capabilities of
- the used devices.
-
-9.1. Server Directed Model
-
- The server directed model means that the device generating the
- accounting data gets information from either the authorization server
- (if contacted) or the accounting server regarding the way accounting
- data shall be forwarded. This information includes accounting record
- timeliness requirements.
-
- As discussed in [RFC2975], real-time transfer of accounting records
- is a requirement, such as the need to perform credit-limit checks and
- fraud detection. Note that batch accounting is not a requirement,
- and is therefore not supported by Diameter. Should batched
- accounting be required in the future, a new Diameter application will
- need to be created, or it could be handled using another protocol.
- Note, however, that even if at the Diameter layer, accounting
- requests are processed one by one; transport protocols used under
- Diameter typically batch several requests in the same packet under
- heavy traffic conditions. This may be sufficient for many
- applications.
-
- The authorization server (chain) directs the selection of proper
- transfer strategy, based on its knowledge of the user and
- relationships of roaming partnerships. The server (or agents) uses
- the Acct-Interim-Interval and Accounting-Realtime-Required AVPs to
- control the operation of the Diameter peer operating as a client.
- The Acct-Interim-Interval AVP, when present, instructs the Diameter
- node acting as a client to produce accounting records continuously
- even during a session. Accounting-Realtime-Required AVP is used to
- control the behavior of the client when the transfer of accounting
- records from the Diameter client is delayed or unsuccessful.
-
- The Diameter accounting server MAY override the interim interval or
- the real-time requirements by including the Acct-Interim-Interval or
- Accounting-Realtime-Required AVP in the Accounting-Answer message.
- When one of these AVPs is present, the latest value received SHOULD
- be used in further accounting activities for the same session.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 123]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-9.2. Protocol Messages
-
- A Diameter node that receives a successful authentication and/or
- authorization message from the Diameter server SHOULD collect
- accounting information for the session. The Accounting-Request
- message is used to transmit the accounting information to the
- Diameter server, which MUST reply with the Accounting-Answer message
- to confirm reception. The Accounting-Answer message includes the
- Result-Code AVP, which MAY indicate that an error was present in the
- accounting message. The value of the Accounting-Realtime-Required
- AVP received earlier for the session in question may indicate that
- the user's session has to be terminated when a rejected Accounting-
- Request message was received.
-
-9.3. Accounting Application Extension and Requirements
-
- Each Diameter application (e.g., NASREQ, Mobile IP) SHOULD define its
- service-specific AVPs that MUST be present in the Accounting-Request
- message in a section titled "Accounting AVPs". The application MUST
- assume that the AVPs described in this document will be present in
- all Accounting messages, so only their respective service-specific
- AVPs need to be defined in that section.
-
- Applications have the option of using one or both of the following
- accounting application extension models:
-
- Split Accounting Service
-
- The accounting message will carry the Application Id of the
- Diameter base accounting application (see Section 2.4).
- Accounting messages may be routed to Diameter nodes other than the
- corresponding Diameter application. These nodes might be
- centralized accounting servers that provide accounting service for
- multiple different Diameter applications. These nodes MUST
- advertise the Diameter base accounting Application Id during
- capabilities exchange.
-
- Coupled Accounting Service
-
- The accounting message will carry the Application Id of the
- application that is using it. The application itself will process
- the received accounting records or forward them to an accounting
- server. There is no accounting application advertisement required
- during capabilities exchange, and the accounting messages will be
- routed the same way as any of the other application messages.
-
- In cases where an application does not define its own accounting
- service, it is preferred that the split accounting model be used.
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 124]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-9.4. Fault Resilience
-
- Diameter base protocol mechanisms are used to overcome small message
- loss and network faults of a temporary nature.
-
- Diameter peers acting as clients MUST implement the use of failover
- to guard against server failures and certain network failures.
- Diameter peers acting as agents or related off-line processing
- systems MUST detect duplicate accounting records caused by the
- sending of the same record to several servers and duplication of
- messages in transit. This detection MUST be based on the inspection
- of the Session-Id and Accounting-Record-Number AVP pairs. Appendix C
- discusses duplicate detection needs and implementation issues.
-
- Diameter clients MAY have non-volatile memory for the safe storage of
- accounting records over reboots or extended network failures, network
- partitions, and server failures. If such memory is available, the
- client SHOULD store new accounting records there as soon as the
- records are created and until a positive acknowledgement of their
- reception from the Diameter server has been received. Upon a reboot,
- the client MUST start sending the records in the non-volatile memory
- to the accounting server with the appropriate modifications in
- termination cause, session length, and other relevant information in
- the records.
-
- A further application of this protocol may include AVPs to control
- the maximum number of accounting records that may be stored in the
- Diameter client without committing them to the non-volatile memory or
- transferring them to the Diameter server.
-
- The client SHOULD NOT remove the accounting data from any of its
- memory areas before the correct Accounting-Answer has been received.
- The client MAY remove the oldest, undelivered, or as yet
- unacknowledged accounting data if it runs out of resources such as
- memory. It is an implementation-dependent matter for the client to
- accept new sessions under this condition.
-
-9.5. Accounting Records
-
- In all accounting records, the Session-Id AVP MUST be present; the
- User-Name AVP MUST be present if it is available to the Diameter
- client.
-
- Different types of accounting records are sent depending on the
- actual type of accounted service and the authorization server's
- directions for interim accounting. If the accounted service is a
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 125]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- one-time event, meaning that the start and stop of the event are
- simultaneous, then the Accounting-Record-Type AVP MUST be present and
- set to the value EVENT_RECORD.
-
- If the accounted service is of a measurable length, then the AVP MUST
- use the values START_RECORD, STOP_RECORD, and possibly,
- INTERIM_RECORD. If the authorization server has not directed interim
- accounting to be enabled for the session, two accounting records MUST
- be generated for each service of type session. When the initial
- Accounting-Request for a given session is sent, the Accounting-
- Record-Type AVP MUST be set to the value START_RECORD. When the last
- Accounting-Request is sent, the value MUST be STOP_RECORD.
-
- If the authorization server has directed interim accounting to be
- enabled, the Diameter client MUST produce additional records between
- the START_RECORD and STOP_RECORD, marked INTERIM_RECORD. The
- production of these records is directed by Acct-Interim-Interval as
- well as any re-authentication or re-authorization of the session.
- The Diameter client MUST overwrite any previous interim accounting
- records that are locally stored for delivery, if a new record is
- being generated for the same session. This ensures that only one
- pending interim record can exist on an access device for any given
- session.
-
- A particular value of Accounting-Sub-Session-Id MUST appear only in
- one sequence of accounting records from a Diameter client, except for
- the purposes of retransmission. The one sequence that is sent MUST
- be either one record with Accounting-Record-Type AVP set to the value
- EVENT_RECORD or several records starting with one having the value
- START_RECORD, followed by zero or more INTERIM_RECORDs and a single
- STOP_RECORD. A particular Diameter application specification MUST
- define the type of sequences that MUST be used.
-
-9.6. Correlation of Accounting Records
-
- If an application uses accounting messages, it can correlate
- accounting records with a specific application session by using the
- Session-Id of the particular application session in the accounting
- messages. Accounting messages MAY also use a different Session-Id
- from that of the application sessions, in which case, other session-
- related information is needed to perform correlation.
-
- In cases where an application requires multiple accounting sub-
- sessions, an Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP is used to differentiate
- each sub-session. The Session-Id would remain constant for all sub-
- sessions and is used to correlate all the sub-sessions to a
- particular application session. Note that receiving a STOP_RECORD
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 126]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- with no Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP when sub-sessions were
- originally used in the START_RECORD messages implies that all sub-
- sessions are terminated.
-
- There are also cases where an application needs to correlate multiple
- application sessions into a single accounting record; the accounting
- record may span multiple different Diameter applications and sessions
- used by the same user at a given time. In such cases, the Acct-
- Multi-Session-Id AVP is used. The Acct-Multi-Session-Id AVP SHOULD
- be signaled by the server to the access device (typically, during
- authorization) when it determines that a request belongs to an
- existing session. The access device MUST then include the Acct-
- Multi-Session-Id AVP in all subsequent accounting messages.
-
- The Acct-Multi-Session-Id AVP MAY include the value of the original
- Session-Id. Its contents are implementation specific, but the MUST
- be globally unique across other Acct-Multi-Session-Ids and MUST NOT
- change during the life of a session.
-
- A Diameter application document MUST define the exact concept of a
- session that is being accounted, and it MAY define the concept of a
- multi-session. For instance, the NASREQ DIAMETER application treats
- a single PPP connection to a Network Access Server as one session and
- a set of Multilink PPP sessions as one multi-session.
-
-9.7. Accounting Command Codes
-
- This section defines Command Code values that MUST be supported by
- all Diameter implementations that provide accounting services.
-
-9.7.1. Accounting-Request
-
- The Accounting-Request (ACR) command, indicated by the Command Code
- field set to 271 and the Command Flags' 'R' bit set, is sent by a
- Diameter node, acting as a client, in order to exchange accounting
- information with a peer.
-
- In addition to the AVPs listed below, Accounting-Request messages
- SHOULD include service-specific accounting AVPs.

-9.8. Accounting AVPs
-
- This section contains AVPs that describe accounting usage information
- related to a specific session.
-
-9.8.1. Accounting-Record-Type AVP
-
- The Accounting-Record-Type AVP (AVP Code 480) is of type Enumerated
- and contains the type of accounting record being sent. The following
- values are currently defined for the Accounting-Record-Type AVP:
-
- EVENT_RECORD 1
-
- An Accounting Event Record is used to indicate that a one-time
- event has occurred (meaning that the start and end of the event
- are simultaneous). This record contains all information relevant
- to the service, and it is the only record of the service.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 129]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- START_RECORD 2
-
- Accounting Start, Interim, and Stop Records are used to indicate
- that a service of a measurable length has been given. An
- Accounting Start Record is used to initiate an accounting session
- and contains accounting information that is relevant to the
- initiation of the session.
-
- INTERIM_RECORD 3
-
- An Interim Accounting Record contains cumulative accounting
- information for an existing accounting session. Interim
- Accounting Records SHOULD be sent every time a re-authentication
- or re-authorization occurs. Further, additional interim record
- triggers MAY be defined by application-specific Diameter
- applications. The selection of whether to use INTERIM_RECORD
- records is done by the Acct-Interim-Interval AVP.
-
- STOP_RECORD 4
-
- An Accounting Stop Record is sent to terminate an accounting
- session and contains cumulative accounting information relevant to
- the existing session.
-
-9.8.2. Acct-Interim-Interval AVP
-
- The Acct-Interim-Interval AVP (AVP Code 85) is of type Unsigned32 and
- is sent from the Diameter home authorization server to the Diameter
- client. The client uses information in this AVP to decide how and
- when to produce accounting records. With different values in this
- AVP, service sessions can result in one, two, or two+N accounting
- records, based on the needs of the home organization. The following
- accounting record production behavior is directed by the inclusion of
- this AVP:
-
- 1. The omission of the Acct-Interim-Interval AVP or its inclusion
- with Value field set to 0 means that EVENT_RECORD, START_RECORD,
- and STOP_RECORD are produced, as appropriate for the service.
-
- 2. The inclusion of the AVP with Value field set to a non-zero value
- means that INTERIM_RECORD records MUST be produced between the
- START_RECORD and STOP_RECORD records. The Value field of this
- AVP is the nominal interval between these records in seconds.
- The Diameter node that originates the accounting information,
- known as the client, MUST produce the first INTERIM_RECORD record
- roughly at the time when this nominal interval has elapsed from
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 130]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- the START_RECORD, the next one again as the interval has elapsed
- once more, and so on until the session ends and a STOP_RECORD
- record is produced.
-
- The client MUST ensure that the interim record production times
- are randomized so that large accounting message storms are not
- created either among records or around a common service start
- time.
-
-9.8.3. Accounting-Record-Number AVP
-
- The Accounting-Record-Number AVP (AVP Code 485) is of type Unsigned32
- and identifies this record within one session. As Session-Id AVPs
- are globally unique, the combination of Session-Id and Accounting-
- Record-Number AVPs is also globally unique and can be used in
- matching accounting records with confirmations. An easy way to
- produce unique numbers is to set the value to 0 for records of type
- EVENT_RECORD and START_RECORD and set the value to 1 for the first
- INTERIM_RECORD, 2 for the second, and so on until the value for
- STOP_RECORD is one more than for the last INTERIM_RECORD.
-
-9.8.4. Acct-Session-Id AVP
-
- The Acct-Session-Id AVP (AVP Code 44) is of type OctetString is only
- used when RADIUS/Diameter translation occurs. This AVP contains the
- contents of the RADIUS Acct-Session-Id attribute.
-
-9.8.5. Acct-Multi-Session-Id AVP
-
- The Acct-Multi-Session-Id AVP (AVP Code 50) is of type UTF8String,
- following the format specified in Section 8.8. The Acct-Multi-
- Session-Id AVP is used to link multiple related accounting sessions,
- where each session would have a unique Session-Id but the same Acct-
- Multi-Session-Id AVP. This AVP MAY be returned by the Diameter
- server in an authorization answer, and it MUST be used in all
- accounting messages for the given session.
-
-9.8.6. Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP
-
- The Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP (AVP Code 287) is of type
- Unsigned64 and contains the accounting sub-session identifier. The
- combination of the Session-Id and this AVP MUST be unique per sub-
- session, and the value of this AVP MUST be monotonically increased by
- one for all new sub-sessions. The absence of this AVP implies no
- sub-sessions are in use, with the exception of an Accounting-Request
- whose Accounting-Record-Type is set to STOP_RECORD. A STOP_RECORD
- message with no Accounting-Sub-Session-Id AVP present will signal the
- termination of all sub-sessions for a given Session-Id.

-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-9.8.7. Accounting-Realtime-Required AVP
-
- The Accounting-Realtime-Required AVP (AVP Code 483) is of type
- Enumerated and is sent from the Diameter home authorization server to
- the Diameter client or in the Accounting-Answer from the accounting
- server. The client uses information in this AVP to decide what to do
- if the sending of accounting records to the accounting server has
- been temporarily prevented due to, for instance, a network problem.
-
- DELIVER_AND_GRANT 1
-
- The AVP with Value field set to DELIVER_AND_GRANT means that the
- service MUST only be granted as long as there is a connection to
- an accounting server. Note that the set of alternative accounting
- servers are treated as one server in this sense. Having to move
- the accounting record stream to a backup server is not a reason to
- discontinue the service to the user.
-
- GRANT_AND_STORE 2
-
- The AVP with Value field set to GRANT_AND_STORE means that service
- SHOULD be granted if there is a connection, or as long as records
- can still be stored as described in Section 9.4.
-
- This is the default behavior if the AVP isn't included in the
- reply from the authorization server.
-
- GRANT_AND_LOSE 3
-
- The AVP with Value field set to GRANT_AND_LOSE means that service
- SHOULD be granted even if the records cannot be delivered or
- stored.
-
-10. AVP Occurrence Tables
-
- The following tables present the AVPs defined in this document and
- specify in which Diameter messages they MAY or MAY NOT be present.
- AVPs that occur only inside a Grouped AVP are not shown in these
- tables.

-11. IANA Considerations
-
- This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
- Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to the
- Diameter protocol, in accordance with [RFC5226]. Existing IANA
- registries and assignments put in place by RFC 3588 remain the same
- unless explicitly updated or deprecated in this section.
-
-11.1. AVP Header
-
- As defined in Section 4, the AVP header contains three fields that
- require IANA namespace management: the AVP Code, Vendor-ID, and Flags
- fields.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 135]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-11.1.1. AVP Codes
-
- There are multiple namespaces. Vendors can have their own AVP Codes
- namespace that will be identified by their Vendor-ID (also known as
- Enterprise-Number), and they control the assignments of their vendor-
- specific AVP Codes within their own namespace. The absence of a
- Vendor-ID or a Vendor-ID value of zero (0) identifies the IETF AVP
- Codes namespace, which is under IANA control. The AVP Codes and
- sometimes possible values in an AVP are controlled and maintained by
- IANA. AVP Code 0 is not used. AVP Codes 1-255 are managed
- separately as RADIUS Attribute Types. Where a Vendor-Specific AVP is
- implemented by more than one vendor, allocation of global AVPs should
- be encouraged instead.
-
- AVPs may be allocated following Expert Review (by a Designated
- Expert) with Specification Required [RFC5226]. A block allocation
- (release of more than three AVPs at a time for a given purpose)
- requires IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.1.2. AVP Flags
-
- Section 4.1 describes the existing AVP Flags. The remaining bits can
- only be assigned via a Standards Action [RFC5226].
-
-11.2. Diameter Header
-
-11.2.1. Command Codes
-
- For the Diameter header, the Command Code namespace allocation has
- changed. The new allocation rules are as follows:
-
- The Command Code values 256 - 8,388,607 (0x100 to 0x7fffff) are
- for permanent, standard commands, allocated by IETF Review
- [RFC5226].
-
- The values 8,388,608 - 16,777,213 (0x800000 - 0xfffffd) are
- reserved for vendor-specific Command Codes, to be allocated on a
- First Come, First Served basis by IANA [RFC5226]. The request to
- IANA for a Vendor-Specific Command Code SHOULD include a reference
- to a publicly available specification that documents the command
- in sufficient detail to aid in interoperability between
- independent implementations. If the specification cannot be made
- publicly available, the request for a vendor-specific Command Code
- MUST include the contact information of persons and/or entities
- responsible for authoring and maintaining the command.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 136]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- The values 16,777,214 and 16,777,215 (hexadecimal values 0xfffffe
- - 0xffffff) are reserved for experimental commands. As these
- codes are only for experimental and testing purposes, no guarantee
- is made for interoperability between Diameter peers using
- experimental commands.
-
-11.2.2. Command Flags
-
- Section 3 describes the existing Command Flags field. The remaining
- bits can only be assigned via a Standards Action [RFC5226].
-
-11.3. AVP Values
-
- For AVP values, the Experimental-Result-Code AVP value allocation has
- been added; see Section 11.3.1. The old AVP value allocation rule,
- IETF Consensus, has been updated to IETF Review as per [RFC5226], and
- affected AVPs are listed as reminders.
-
-11.3.1. Experimental-Result-Code AVP
-
- Values for this AVP are purely local to the indicated vendor, and no
- IANA registry is maintained for them.
-
-11.3.2. Result-Code AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.3.3. Accounting-Record-Type AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.3.4. Termination-Cause AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.3.5. Redirect-Host-Usage AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.3.6. Session-Server-Failover AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].
-
-11.3.7. Session-Binding AVP Values
-
- New values are available for assignment via IETF Review [RFC5226].

-
-11.4. _diameters Service Name and Port Number Registration

- IANA has registered the "_diameters" service name and assigned port
- numbers for TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP according to the guidelines given
- in [RFC6335].

-
- Two SCTP payload protocol identifiers have been registered in the
- SCTP Payload Protocol Identifiers registry:

-
-12. Diameter Protocol-Related Configurable Parameters
-
- This section contains the configurable parameters that are found
- throughout this document:
-
- Diameter Peer
-
- A Diameter entity MAY communicate with peers that are statically
- configured. A statically configured Diameter peer would require
- that either the IP address or the fully qualified domain name
- (FQDN) be supplied, which would then be used to resolve through
- DNS.
-
- Routing Table
-
- A Diameter proxy server routes messages based on the realm portion
- of a Network Access Identifier (NAI). The server MUST have a
- table of Realm Names, and the address of the peer to which the
- message must be forwarded. The routing table MAY also include a
- "default route", which is typically used for all messages that
- cannot be locally processed.
-
- Tc timer
-
- The Tc timer controls the frequency that transport connection
- attempts are done to a peer with whom no active transport
- connection exists. The recommended value is 30 seconds.
-

-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
-13. Security Considerations
-
- The Diameter base protocol messages SHOULD be secured by using TLS
- [RFC5246] or DTLS/SCTP [RFC6083]. Additional security mechanisms
- such as IPsec [RFC4301] MAY also be deployed to secure connections
- between peers. However, all Diameter base protocol implementations
- MUST support the use of TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP, and the Diameter
- protocol MUST NOT be used without one of TLS, DTLS, or IPsec.
-
- If a Diameter connection is to be protected via TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP
- or IPsec, then TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP or IPsec/IKE SHOULD begin prior
- to any Diameter message exchange. All security parameters for TLS/
- TCP and DTLS/SCTP or IPsec are configured independent of the Diameter
- protocol. All Diameter messages will be sent through the TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP or IPsec connection after a successful setup.
-
- For TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP connections to be established in the open
- state, the CER/CEA exchange MUST include an Inband-Security-ID AVP
- with a value of TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP. The TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP
- handshake will begin when both ends successfully reach the open
- state, after completion of the CER/CEA exchange. If the TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP handshake is successful, all further messages will be sent
- via TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP. If the handshake fails, both ends MUST
- move to the closed state. See Section 13.1 for more details.
-
-13.1. TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP Usage
-
- Diameter nodes using TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP for security MUST mutually
- authenticate as part of TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP session establishment.
- In order to ensure mutual authentication, the Diameter node acting as
- the TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP server MUST request a certificate from the
- Diameter node acting as TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP client, and the
- Diameter node acting as the TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP client MUST be
- prepared to supply a certificate on request.
-
- Diameter nodes MUST be able to negotiate the following TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP cipher suites:
-
- TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
- TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
- TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
-
- Diameter nodes SHOULD be able to negotiate the following TLS/TCP and
- DTLS/SCTP cipher suite:
-
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
-
-
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 140]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- Note that it is quite possible that support for the
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA cipher suite will be REQUIRED at some
- future date. Diameter nodes MAY negotiate other TLS/TCP and DTLS/
- SCTP cipher suites.
-
- If public key certificates are used for Diameter security (for
- example, with TLS), the value of the expiration times in the routing
- and peer tables MUST NOT be greater than the expiry time in the
- relevant certificates.
-
-13.2. Peer-to-Peer Considerations
-
- As with any peer-to-peer protocol, proper configuration of the trust
- model within a Diameter peer is essential to security. When
- certificates are used, it is necessary to configure the root
- certificate authorities trusted by the Diameter peer. These root CAs
- are likely to be unique to Diameter usage and distinct from the root
- CAs that might be trusted for other purposes such as Web browsing.
- In general, it is expected that those root CAs will be configured so
- as to reflect the business relationships between the organization
- hosting the Diameter peer and other organizations. As a result, a
- Diameter peer will typically not be configured to allow connectivity
- with any arbitrary peer. With certificate authentication, Diameter
- peers may not be known beforehand and therefore peer discovery may be
- required.
-
-13.3. AVP Considerations
-
- Diameter AVPs often contain security-sensitive data; for example,
- user passwords and location data, network addresses and cryptographic
- keys. The following AVPs defined in this document are considered to
- be security-sensitive:
-
- o Acct-Interim-Interval
-
- o Accounting-Realtime-Required
-
- o Acct-Multi-Session-Id
-
- o Accounting-Record-Number
-
- o Accounting-Record-Type
-
- o Accounting-Session-Id
-
- o Accounting-Sub-Session-Id
-
- o Class
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 141]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- o Session-Id
-
- o Session-Binding
-
- o Session-Server-Failover
-
- o User-Name
-
- Diameter messages containing these or any other AVPs considered to be
- security-sensitive MUST only be sent protected via mutually
- authenticated TLS or IPsec. In addition, those messages MUST NOT be
- sent via intermediate nodes unless there is end-to-end security
- between the originator and recipient or the originator has locally
- trusted configuration that indicates that end-to-end security is not
- needed. For example, end-to-end security may not be required in the
- case where an intermediary node is known to be operated as part of
- the same administrative domain as the endpoints so that an ability to
- successfully compromise the intermediary would imply a high
- probability of being able to compromise the endpoints as well. Note
- that no end-to-end security mechanism is specified in this document.

-Appendix B. S-NAPTR Example
-
- As an example, consider a client that wishes to resolve aaa:
- ex1.example.com. The client performs a NAPTR query for that domain,
- and the following NAPTR records are returned:
-
- ;; order pref flags service regexp replacement
- IN NAPTR 50 50 "s" "aaa:diameter.tls.tcp" ""
- _diameter._tls.ex1.example.com
- IN NAPTR 100 50 "s" "aaa:diameter.tcp" ""
- _aaa._tcp.ex1.example.com
- IN NAPTR 150 50 "s" "aaa:diameter.sctp" ""
- _diameter._sctp.ex1.example.com
-
- This indicates that the server supports TLS, TCP, and SCTP in that
- order. If the client supports TLS, TLS will be used, targeted to a
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 148]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- host determined by an SRV lookup of _diameter._tls.ex1.example.com.
- That lookup would return:
-
- ;; Priority Weight Port Target
- IN SRV 0 1 5060 server1.ex1.example.com
- IN SRV 0 2 5060 server2.ex1.example.com
-
- As an alternative example, a client that wishes to resolve aaa:
- ex2.example.com. The client performs a NAPTR query for that domain,
- and the following NAPTR records are returned:
-
- ;; order pref flags service regexp replacement
- IN NAPTR 150 50 "a" "aaa:diameter.tls.tcp" ""
- server1.ex2.example.com
- IN NAPTR 150 50 "a" "aaa:diameter.tls.tcp" ""
- server2.ex2.example.com
-
- This indicates that the server supports TCP available at the returned
- host names.
-
-Appendix C. Duplicate Detection
-
- As described in Section 9.4, accounting record duplicate detection is
- based on session identifiers. Duplicates can appear for various
- reasons:
-
- o Failover to an alternate server. Where close to real-time
- performance is required, failover thresholds need to be kept low.
- This may lead to an increased likelihood of duplicates. Failover
- can occur at the client or within Diameter agents.
-
- o Failure of a client or agent after sending a record from non-
- volatile memory, but prior to receipt of an application-layer ACK
- and deletion of the record to be sent. This will result in
- retransmission of the record soon after the client or agent has
- rebooted.
-
- o Duplicates received from RADIUS gateways. Since the
- retransmission behavior of RADIUS is not defined within [RFC2865],
- the likelihood of duplication will vary according to the
- implementation.
-
- o Implementation problems and misconfiguration.
-
- The T flag is used as an indication of an application-layer
- retransmission event, e.g., due to failover to an alternate server.
- It is defined only for request messages sent by Diameter clients or
- agents. For instance, after a reboot, a client may not know whether
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 149]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- it has already tried to send the accounting records in its non-
- volatile memory before the reboot occurred. Diameter servers MAY use
- the T flag as an aid when processing requests and detecting duplicate
- messages. However, servers that do this MUST ensure that duplicates
- are found even when the first transmitted request arrives at the
- server after the retransmitted request. It can be used only in cases
- where no answer has been received from the server for a request and
- the request is sent again, (e.g., due to a failover to an alternate
- peer, due to a recovered primary peer or due to a client re-sending a
- stored record from non-volatile memory such as after reboot of a
- client or agent).
-
- In some cases, the Diameter accounting server can delay the duplicate
- detection and accounting record processing until a post-processing
- phase takes place. At that time records are likely to be sorted
- according to the included User-Name and duplicate elimination is easy
- in this case. In other situations, it may be necessary to perform
- real-time duplicate detection, such as when credit limits are imposed
- or real-time fraud detection is desired.
-
- In general, only generation of duplicates due to failover or re-
- sending of records in non-volatile storage can be reliably detected
- by Diameter clients or agents. In such cases, the Diameter client or
- agents can mark the message as a possible duplicate by setting the T
- flag. Since the Diameter server is responsible for duplicate
- detection, it can choose whether or not to make use of the T flag, in
- order to optimize duplicate detection. Since the T flag does not
- affect interoperability, and it may not be needed by some servers,
- generation of the T flag is REQUIRED for Diameter clients and agents,
- but it MAY be implemented by Diameter servers.
-
- As an example, it can be usually be assumed that duplicates appear
- within a time window of longest recorded network partition or device
- fault, perhaps a day. So only records within this time window need
- to be looked at in the backward direction. Secondly, hashing
- techniques or other schemes, such as the use of the T flag in the
- received messages, may be used to eliminate the need to do a full
- search even in this set except for rare cases.
-
- The following is an example of how the T flag may be used by the
- server to detect duplicate requests.
-
- A Diameter server MAY check the T flag of the received message to
- determine if the record is a possible duplicate. If the T flag is
- set in the request message, the server searches for a duplicate
- within a configurable duplication time window backward and
- forward. This limits database searching to those records where
- the T flag is set. In a well-run network, network partitions and
-
-
-
-Fajardo, et al. Standards Track [Page 150]
-
-RFC 6733 Diameter Base Protocol October 2012
-
-
- device faults will presumably be rare events, so this approach
- represents a substantial optimization of the duplicate detection
- process. During failover, it is possible for the original record
- to be received after the T-flag-marked record, due to differences
- in network delays experienced along the path by the original and
- duplicate transmissions. The likelihood of this occurring
- increases as the failover interval is decreased. In order to be
- able to detect duplicates that are out of order, the Diameter
- server should use backward and forward time windows when
- performing duplicate checking for the T-flag-marked request. For
- example, in order to allow time for the original record to exit
- the network and be recorded by the accounting server, the Diameter
- server can delay processing records with the T flag set until a
- time period TIME_WAIT + RECORD_PROCESSING_TIME has elapsed after
- the closing of the original transport connection. After this time
- period, it may check the T-flag-marked records against the
- database with relative assurance that the original records, if
- sent, have been received and recorded.
-
-Appendix D. Internationalized Domain Names
-
- To be compatible with the existing DNS infrastructure and simplify
- host and domain name comparison, Diameter identities (FQDNs) are
- represented in ASCII form. This allows the Diameter protocol to fall
- in-line with the DNS strategy of being transparent from the effects
- of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) by following the
- recommendations in [RFC4690] and [RFC5890]. Applications that
- provide support for IDNs outside of the Diameter protocol but
- interacting with it SHOULD use the representation and conversion
- framework described in [RFC5890], [RFC5891], and [RFC3492].
