* anders/diameter/distribution/OTP-15398: Add diameter_dist_SUITE to exercise diameter_dist:route_session/2 Add consistent hashing to diameter_dist:route_session/2 Add options to diameter_dist:route_session/2 node selection Add diameter_dist for ready spawn_opt callbacks Tweak/document request handler callback Document acknowledgements in transport interface Fix comment typo
2019-03-06Tweak/document request handler callbackAnders Svensson
The possibility of configuring an MFA as spawn_opt was added in commit fd285079, the callback being passed an arity-0 fun to be applied in an appropriate handler process. Replace the fun by a tuple to be passed to diameter_traffic:request/1, to avoid passing funs between nodes when handler processes are remote. A list-valued spawn_opt is now equivalent to the following configured as {spawn_opt, {Mod, spawn_local, [Opts]}}. spawn_local(ReqT, Opts) -> spawn_opt(diameter_traffic, request, [ReqT], Opts). ReqT is passed by diameter and contains information that the callback may want to decide where to handle the request in question (which wasn't accessible with a fun), but this information isn't exposed in a documented way. The intention is instead to add an own callback implementation to make use of the information. Note that application lookup now takes place in the watchdog process in both the list-valued (or no configuration) and mfa-valued cases. Whether this is good, bad, or (probably) inconsequential remains to be seen.
2019-03-06Document acknowledgements in transport interfaceAnders Svensson
This is the {diameter, ack} message from a transport process to its parent that requests that every Diameter request passed to the parent be matched by a incoming send message, the atom false replacing a message() in the case that the request is unanswered, allowing the transport to keep track of the number of outstanding requests. These were added in commit ca09cf7b, and are used to implement the message_cb config in diameter_tcp/sctp, documented in commit cefcaa5c. This commit documents the interface, to make it available to other transport implementations.

* 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).
