+Request acknowledgements of unanswered requests.
+A transport process should send this once before passing incoming
+Diameter messages into diameter.
+As a result, every Diameter request passed into diameter with a
+<c>recv</c> message (below) will be answered with a
+<c>send</c> message (above), either a &message; for the transport
+process to send or the atom <c>false</c> if the request has been
+discarded or otherwise not answered.</p>
+
+<p>
+This is to allow a transport process to keep count of the number
+of incoming request messages that have not yet been answered or
+discarded, to allow it to regulate the amount of incoming traffic.
+Both diameter_tcp and diameter_sctp request acknowledgements when a
+<c>message_cb</c> is configured, turning send/recv message into
+callbacks that can be used to regulate traffic.</p>
