Timestamps have been monotonic time since OTP-17.5. See commit e6d19a18. The examples should really be replaced by more detailed doc of return values.

With a table. Probably no one wants to read a commented RFC, it's been unfinished for some time, and it's difficult to get an overview from it.

* anders/diameter/DOIC/OTP-14588: Exercise avp_dictionaries in traffic suite Let generic AVPs be encoded/decoded in alternate dictionaries Rename field in codec map: dictionary -> app_dictionary Add RFC 7683 Diameter Overload Indicator Conveyance text and dictionary Fix decode undef Fix dictionary compilation error message
2017-09-04Let generic AVPs be encoded/decoded in alternate dictionariesAnders Svensson
To support specifications like RFC 7683 DOIC, that only define AVPs, not applications. AVPs that aren't known to the application dictionary in question could previously not be decoded. Configuring alternate dictionaries with the new transport/service option avp_dictionaries changes this, so that AVPs like DOIC's Grouped OC-OLR can presented in their fully decoded glory. Encode is also extended, allowing things like the following to be encoded in an outgoing message: 'AVP' => [{'OC-OLR', #{'OC-Sequence-Number' => 1, 'OC-Report-Type' => 0, 'OC-Reduction-Percentage' => [25]}}] A diameter_gen_doic_rfc7683 dictionary is installed, but avp_dictionaries isn't specific to DOIC. This commit also solves the problem demonstrated a few commits back, that application AVPs aren't decoded in answers setting the E-bit. Test coverage will come in a subsequent commit.
2017-09-04Add RFC 7683 Diameter Overload Indicator Conveyance text and dictionaryAnders Svensson
Which motivates the avp_dictionaries config that will be added in a subsequent commit.

2017-09-01Fix decode_format doc oversightsAnders Svensson
diameter_codec(3) referred only to the record format in places. The configurable format was added in commits 722fa415 and then 55e65b26.
2017-09-01Rename decode_format false to noneAnders Svensson
Which reads better and makes it easier to distinguish this false from others.
2017-09-01Tweak {decode_format, false} semanticsAnders Svensson
Represent the decoded message by its atom-valued name in diameter_packet.msg, which makes trace much more readable. A diameter_avp.value is untouched (ie. undefined): the AVP name is already in the name field.

2017-08-28Fix influence of decode_format on service eventsAnders Svensson
Decoded CER/CEA messages are passed in events messages that can be subscribed to using diameter:subscribe/1. A configured decode_format was not reflected in these, messages always being passed as records. Clarify that strict_arities only applies to message callbacks.
2017-08-25Let strict_mbit and incoming_maxlen be configured per transportAnders Svensson
Since these can make sense per peer. The remaining service-only options either belong there or make little sense being configured per transport.
2017-08-25Let a service configure default transport optionsAnders Svensson
Only a default spawn_opt has been possible to configure, but there's no reason why most others should need to be configured per transport. Those options that still only make sense on a transport are transport_module/config (because of the semantics of multiple values), applications/capabilities (since these override service options), and private (since it's only to allow user-specific options in a backwards compatible way).
2017-08-24Rename type evaluable -> evalAnders Svensson
Export the old type as a synonym for backwards compatability. The name evaluable is a bit too awkward.
2017-08-24Document transport_opt() strict_capxAnders Svensson
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.
2017-08-10Add service_opt() traffic_countersAnders Svensson
To be able to disable the counting of messages for which application callbacks take place. Messages sent/handled by diameter itself are always counted.
2017-08-03Add service_opt() strict_aritiesAnders Svensson
To be able to disable the relatively expensive check that the number of AVPs received in a message or grouped AVP agrees with the dictionary in question. The may well be easier for the user in handle_request/answer callbacks, when digesting the received message, and in some cases may not be important. The check at encode can also be disabled, allowing messages that don't agree with the dictionary in question to be sent, which can be useful in test (at least).
2017-08-03Tweak map-valued decodeAnders Svensson
Use the same [MsgName | Avps] representation as for the list decode, but with Avps a map instead of a AVP name/values list. As a result, don't set the message/AVP name on an additional key in the map, which felt a bit odd. Messages are [MsgName :: atom() | map()], Grouped AVPs are just map(). Fix at least one problem in the traffic suite along the way: with decode_format false, the own decode in to_map/2 didn't know whether or not to decode strings, resulting on some failures.
2017-08-03Rename record_decode -> decode_formatAnders Svensson
{record_decode, map} is a bit too quirky.
2017-08-03Let messages and grouped AVPs be decoded to listsAnders Svensson
That is, decode to the same format that encode already accepts. Only a message has its name at the head of the list since AVPs are already name/value pairs.
2017-08-03Let messages and grouped AVPs be encoded/decoded from/to mapsAnders Svensson
With {record_decode, map}. The option name is arguably a bit misleading now, but not too objectionable given that the encode/decode in question has historically only been of records. One advantage of the map decode is that the map only contains values for those AVPs existing in the message or grouped AVP in question. The name of the message or grouped AVP is stored in with key ':name', the leading colon ensuring that the key isn't a diameter-name. Decoding to maps makes the hrl files generated from dictionary files largely irrelevant. There are value defines generated into these, but they're typically so long as to be unusable.
2017-08-03Add service_opt() record_decodeAnders Svensson
To control whether or not messages and grouped AVPs are decoded to records, in #diameter_packet.msg and #diameter_avp.value respectively. The decode became unnecessary for diameter's needs in parent commit, which decoupled it from the checking of AVP arities.

2017-06-13Let candidate peers be passed to diameter:call/4Anders Svensson
To solve the problem of being able to send messages to a peer that hasn't advertised support for the application in question, as discussed in the parent commit. diameter:call/4 can be passed 'peer' options to identify candidates, and the only requirement is that an appropriate dictionary be configured for encode. Filters are applied as if candidates had been selected by advertised application.
2017-06-13Change signature associated with dictionary @custom_type/@codecsAnders Svensson
To pass the options map through the encode. This is not backwards compatible, and dictionaries supporting @custom_types or @codecs will need to be updated.
2017-06-13Restore diameter_codec:decode/2, update diameter_codec(3)Anders Svensson
The documentation has been out of date since the string_decode option was added in commit 1590920c. The optionless decode/2 was removed in the commit that removed the use of the process dictionary in decode.
