2015-03-23Add transport_opt() dpr_timeoutAnders Svensson
To cause a peer connection to be closed following an outgoing DPA, in case the peer fails to do so. It is the recipient of DPA that should close the connection according to RFC 6733.

* anders/diameter/dpr/OTP-12542: Discard CER or DWR sent with diameter:call/4 Allow DPR to be sent with diameter:call/4 Add transport_opt() dpa_timeout Add testcase for sending DPR with diameter:call/4
2015-03-22Add transport_opt() dpa_timeoutAnders Svensson
To make the default DPA timeout configurable. The timeout say how many milliseconds to wait for DPA in response to an outgoing DPR before terminating the transport process regardless.
2015-02-20Add transport_opt() pool_sizeAnders Svensson
Transport processes are started by diameter one at a time. In the listening case, a transport process accepts a connection, tells the peer_fsm process, which tells its watchdog process, which tells its service process, which then starts a new watchdog, which starts a new peer_fsm, which starts a new transport process, which (finally) goes about accepting another connection. In other words, not particularly aggressive in accepting new connections. This behaviour doesn't do particularly well with a large number of concurrent connections: with TCP and 250 connecting peers we see connections being refused. This commit adds the possibilty of configuring a pool of accepting processes, by way of a new transport option, pool_size. Instead of diameter:add_transport/2 starting just a single process, it now starts the configured number, so that instead of a single process waiting for a connection there's now a pool. The option is even available for connecting processes, which provides an alternate to adding multiple transports when multiple connections to the same peer are required. In practice this also means configuring {restrict_connections, false}: this is not implicit. For backwards compatibility, the form of diameter:service_info(_,transport) differs in the connecting case, depending on whether or not pool_size is configured. Note that transport processes for the same transport_ref() can be started concurrently when pool_size > 1. This places additional requirements on diameter_{tcp,sctp}, that will be dealt with in a subsequent commit.
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.
2013-06-10Make spawn options for request processes configurableAnders Svensson
That is, for the process that's spawned for each incoming Diameter request message.
2013-03-26Minor doc/spec fixAnders Svensson
'infinity' is a valid transport_config timeout.

2013-03-17More flexible distribution configAnders Svensson
Allow both share_peers and use_shared_peers to be a list of nodes, or a function that returns a list of nodes.
2013-03-17Distribution fixesAnders Svensson
This is the functionality that allows transports to be shared between identically-named services on different nodes, which has been neither documented nor tested (until now).
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.
2013-02-08Split message handling in diameter_service into diameter_trafficAnders Svensson
Traffic handling is connected to the service implementation through the pick_peer callback and failover but diameter_service was getting unwieldy as home to both the service process and traffic handling.

2012-11-15Implement transport_opt() disconnect_cbAnders Svensson
2012-11-05Implement service_opt() restrict_connectionsAnders Svensson
2012-11-05Implement sequence masksAnders Svensson
Code should be loaded in this order: diameter_session (sequence/1) diameter_peer_fsm (calls to sequence/1) diameter_service (sequence config, mask in receive_message/3) diameter_watchdog (mask in peer start and receive_message/3) diameter_config (accept sequence config) Order of diameter and diameter_peer doesn't matter.

2012-08-23Allow multiple transport_module and transport_configAnders Svensson
Transports are started one after the other if a connection is not established with the timeout that can now be specified with transport_config. For example, try an SCTP connect first, a TCP connect if it doesn't succeed.
2011-12-06Smarter diameter_callbackAnders Svensson
The module was originally just intended as a minimal callback implementation that could be used as a template. Being able to order just a subset of callbacks (with reasonable defaults) makes for simpler code in many cases however so ready support for this can be useful.
2011-12-05Move type definitions into diameter.erlAnders Svensson
2011-10-17One makefile for src build instead of recursionAnders Svensson
Simpler, no duplication of similar makefiles and makes for better dependencies. (Aka, recursive make considered harmful.)
