+ RFC 6733 says this of Failed-AVP in 7.5:</p>
+ <p>
+ <taglist><item><p><c> 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.</c></p></item></taglist></p>
+ <p>
+ It says this of DIAMETER_INVALID_AVP_LENGTH in 7.1.5:</p>
+ <p>
+ <taglist><item><p><c> 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
+ 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.</c></p></item></taglist></p>
+ <p>
+ The AVPs placed in the errors field of a diameter_packet
+ record are intended to be appropriate for inclusion in a
+ Failed-AVP, but neither of the above paragraphs has been
+ followed in the Grouped case: the entire faulty AVP
+ (non-faulty components and all) has been included. This
+ made it difficult to identify the actual faulty AVP in
+ all but simple cases.</p>
+ <p>
+ The decode is now adapted to the RFC, and implements the
+ suggested single faulty AVP, nested in as many Grouped
+ containers as required.</p>

+ Fix start order of alternate transports.</p>
+ <p>
+ A transport configured with diameter:add_transport/2 can
+ be passed multiple transport_module/transport_config
+ tuples in order to specify alternate configuration,
+ modules being attempted in order until one succeeds. This
+ is primarily for the connecting case; for example, to
+ allow a transport to be configured to first attempt
+ connection over SCTP, and then TCP in case SCTP fails.
+ Multiple module tuples can be paired with a single config
+ tuple, but in this case the start order was reversed
+ relative to the order in which the modules were specifed.</p>
