* anders/diameter/doc/OTP-14561: Document new(ish) options in diameter_tcp/sctp
2017-09-20Document new(ish) options in diameter_tcp/sctpAnders Svensson
See commits d3829525 (unordered), c591056b (packet), eadf4efc (sender), 636a7199 (tcp message_cb), 373cd07c (sctp message_cb)
2017-08-19Handle loopback/any as local address in diameter_tcp/sctpAnders Svensson
The support is implied by documentation, but wasn't handled in code. Be consistent in retrieving the address from the sock rather than the configuration, and in accepting both ip and ifaddr for a local address.

* anders/diameter/sctp_streams/OTP-11593: Change interface for communicating outbound stream id to diameter_sctp
2014-01-24Change interface for communicating outbound stream id to diameter_sctpAnders Svensson
The module uses the transport_data field of record diameter_packet to communicate the stream on which the an incoming message is received and on which an outgoing message should be sent, the previous interface being that both are communicated as a tuple of the form {stream, Id}. However, since diameter retains the value of an incoming request's transport_data unless the corresponding answer message specifies otherwise, the behaviour in this case is to send an answer on the outbound stream with the same identifier as the that of the inbound stream on which the request was received. If the inbound stream id is greater than or equal to the number of outbound streams then this is guaranteed to fail, causing the transport process in question to terminate. There is no relationship between inbound and outbound stream identifiers so diameter_sctp's imposition of one is simply wrong. Outbound stream ids are now communicated with a different tuple: {outstream, Id}, interpreted modulo the number of outbound streams. Thus, retention of an inbound request's transport_data has no effect on the selection of an outbound stream. The change in interface is not strictly backwards compatible because of the new atom for the outbound stream. However, as there is currently no documented way of obtaining the available number of outbound streams for a peer connection, there is no way for a client to have known the range of ids from which it could reliably have chosen with the previous interface, so any setting of the outbound stream has probably been unintentional. Not explicitly specifying an outbound stream now results in a round-robin selection.

2013-06-10Let diameter_{tcp,sctp} be configured with permissible remote addressesAnders Svensson
Option 'accept' allows remote addresses to be configured as tuples or regular expressions. The remote addresses for any incoming (aka accepted) connection/association are matched against the configured values, any non-matching address causing the connection/association to be aborted.

2013-02-10Simplify and document diameter_tcp fragment timerAnders Svensson
Don't start a new timer with each incoming message. Instead, start a timer at timeout and flush after two successive timeouts with no message reception.
