+<p>
+Option <c>message_cb</c> specifies a callback that is invoked on
+incoming and outgoing messages, that can be used to implement
+flow control.
+It is applied to two arguments: an atom indicating the
+reason for the callback (<c>send</c>, <c>recv</c>, or <c>ack</c> after
+a completed send), and the message in question (binary() on
+<c>recv</c>, binary() or diameter_packet record on <c>send</c> or
+<c>ack</c>, or <c>false</c> on <c>ack</c> when an incoming request has
+been discarded).
+It should return a list of actions and a new callback as
+tail; eg. <c>[fun cb/3, State]</c>.
+Valid actions are the atoms <c>send</c> or <c>recv</c>, to
+cause a following message-valued action to be sent/received,
+a message to send/receive (binary() or
+diameter_packet record), or a boolean() to enable/disable reading on
+the socket.
+More than one <c>send</c>/<c>recv</c>/message sequence can be
+returned from the same callback, and an initial
+<c>send</c>/<c>recv</c> can be omitted if the same as the value passed
+as the callback's first argument.
+Reading is initially enabled, and returning <c>false</c> does not
+imply there cannot be subsequent <c>recv</c> callbacks since
+messages may already have been read.
+An empty tail is equivalent to the prevailing callback.
+Defaults to a callback equivalent to <c>fun(ack, _) -> []; (_, Msg) ->
