+ <p>

+ <p>
+ An AVP setting the M-bit was not regarded as erroneous if

+ Allow peer connections to be shared between Erlang nodes
+ for the purpose of sending outgoing requests.</p>
+ <p>
+ A diameter_app(3) pick_peer/4 callback gets a list of
+ remote candidates as argument, allowing a callback on one
+ node to select a transport connection established on
+ another node. The service_opt() share_peers controls the
+ extent to which local connections are shared with remote
+ nodes. The service_opt() use_shared_peers controls the
+ extent to which connections shared from remote nodes are
+ utilized on the local node.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-9610</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Allow listening diameter_{tcp,sctp} transports to be
+ configured with remote addresses.</p>
+ <p>
+ Option 'accept' allows remote addresses to be configured
+ as tuples or regular expressions. Remote addresses are
+ matched against the configured values at connection
+ establishment, any non-matching address causing the
+ connection to be aborted.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10893</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Detect more transport_opt() configuration errors at
+ diameter:add_transport/2.</p>
+ <p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Make explicit local address configuration optional in
