2014-11-27Order peers in pick_peer callbacksAnders Svensson
The order of peers presented to a diameter_app(3) pick_peer callback has previously not been documented, but there are use cases that are simplified by an ordering. For example, consider preferring a direct connection to a specified Destination-Host/Realm to any host in the realm. The implementation previously treated this as a special case by placing matching hosts at the head of the peers list, but the documentation made no guarantees. Now present peers in match-order, so that the desired sorting is the result of the following filter. {any, [{all, [host, realm]}, realm]} The implementation is not backwards compatible in the sense that a realm filter alone is no longer equivalent in this case. However, as stated, the documentation never made any guarantees regarding the sorting.
2014-05-27Change answer_errors default from report to discardAnders Svensson
In the same vein as commit 00584303, to avoid logging traffic-related happenings. Not that the value in diameter.hrl is just documentation: the value is set explicitly when diameter:start_service/2 creates diameter_app records.

2013-11-29Rename reconnect_timer -> connect_timerAnders Svensson
The former was misleading since the timer only applies to initial connection attempts, reconnection attempts being governed by watchdog_timer. The name is a historic remnant from a (dark, pre-OTP) time in which RFC 3539 was followed less slavishly than it is now, and the timer actually did apply to reconnection attempts. Note that connect_timer corresponds to RFC 6733 Tc, while watchdog_timer corresponds to RFC 3539 TwInit. The latter RFC makes clear that TwInit should apply to reconnection attempts. It's less clear if only RFC 6733 is read. Note also that reconnect_timer is still accepted for backwards compatibility. It would be possible to add an option to make reconnect_timer behave strictly as the name suggests (ie. ignore RFC 3539 and interpret RFC 6733 at face value; something that has some value for testing at least) but no such option is implemented in this commit.

2013-04-11Make explicit local address to diameter_tcp:start/3 optionalAnders Svensson
Use the default address address (as selected by gen_tcp) if none is configured, passing it in the new 'connected' message introduced by the previous commit. The corresponding update to diameter_sctp has to wait until problems with inet:sockname/1 are resolved: the function currently only returns one address, and sometimes {0,0,0,0}. See OTP-11018.

2013-03-12Tweak okay -> suspect configAnders Svensson
Make it just a number of timeouts, without a new DWR being sent.
2013-03-04Add transport_opt() watchdog_configAnders Svensson
To make the number of watchdogs sent before the transitions REOPEN -> OKAY and OKAY -> SUSPECT configurable. Using anything other then the default config is non-standard and should only be used for test.
2013-02-17Answer 5xxx errors with application_opt() request_errors = answerAnders Svensson
RFC 3588 allowed only 3xxx result codes in an answer-message (that is, an answer that sets the E-bit) while RFC 6733 also allows 5xxx result codes. Setting request_errors = answer tells diameter to answer 5xxx errors itself. Returning {answer_message, integer()} from a handle_request callback allows both 3xxx and 5xxx result codes to be set. {protocol_error, integer()} is retained for 3xxx result codes.
2013-02-16Add application_opt() request_errorsAnders Svensson
Configuring the value 'callback' all errors detected in incoming requests to result in a handle_request callback. The default value 'answer_3xxx' is the previous behaviour in which diameter answers protocol errors without a callback.
2013-02-11Add transport_opt() length_errorsAnders Svensson
The value determines whether or not an unexpected message length in the header of an incoming messages causes the peer process to exit, the message to be discarded or handled as usual. The latter may only be appropriate for message-oriented transport (eg. SCTP) since stream-oriented transport (eg. TCP) may not be able to recover the message boundary once a length error has occurred.
