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.

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.
2014-11-03Tweak reason in closed eventAnders Svensson
From {error, Reason} to {no_connection, Reason} when a connection can't be established. The exit reason of a diameter_peer_fsm process is turned into a message from the corresponding diameter_watchdog process to the relevant diameter_service process, the latter sending a 'closed' event including the reason to any subscribers. Reason = [] when none of the configured transport modules succeeds in establishing a connection, which admittedly isn't terribly descriptive. (The lists is of error reasons from transport start functions, which is empty as long as transport processes start successfully.) Note that this form of the closed event is undocumented, aside from the documentation saying that one should expect undocumented events. The explicitly documented forms are currently specific to CER/CEA failures.
2014-11-03Fix ignored connect timerAnders Svensson
There are two timers governing the establishment of peer connections: connect_timer and watchdog_timer. The former is the RFC 6733 Tc timer and is used by diameter_service to establish an initial connection. The latter is RFC 3539 TwInit and is used by diameter_watchdog for connection reestablishment after the watchdog leaves state INITIAL. A connecting transport ignored the connect timer since the watchdog process never died, regardless of the watchdog state, causing the watchdog timer to handle reconnection. This seems to have been broken for some time.
2014-11-03Check {connect,watchdog}_timer distinction in event testcasesAnders Svensson
The connect timer is currently ignored by a connecting transport, so the check causes one testcase to fail.
2014-11-03Rename reconnect_timer to connect_timer in examples and suitesAnders Svensson
The timer was renamed in commit abea7186.
2014-10-10Fix handling of 3xxx Result-Code without E-bitAnders Svensson
Commit 00584303 broke the population of the errors field of the diameter_packet record when an incoming request with an E-bit/Result-Code mismatch was decoded. Instead of the intended {5004, #diameter_avp{value = integer()}}, the value was a 4-tuple containing the integer Result-Code.
2014-09-25Fix remote diameter_request table leakAnders Svensson
An outgoing request whose pick_peer callback selected a transport on another node resulted in an orphaned diameter_request entry on that node.

2014-09-14Add recompilation admonition to 17.2 release notesAnders Svensson
That dictionaries need to be recompiled, which is the case whenever diameter_gen.hrl is modified.
2014-09-12Fix ?MODULE in preprocessed dictionary formsAnders Svensson
By replacing literal diameter_gen_relay atoms in forms extracted from that module by the name of the module in question. This has been wrong for some time, but only became noticable when the parent commit started using ?MODULE as more than a process dictionary key or tag to match on. In particular, the function dict/1 in diameter_gen.hrl (included by every dictionary module) can now return ?MODULE, which is (not surprisingly) expected to be the name of the dictionary module in question. It wasn't in the case of a module compiled from forms: it was diameter_gen_relay, since that's the module the forms were extracted from. The fix only affects dictionaries compiled from forms, as returned by diameter_make:codec/2. In particular, dictionaries compiled from Erlang source returned by this function, or by diameterc(1), are unaffected.

2014-09-08Don't leave extra bit in decoded AVP dataAnders Svensson
The bit is added in diameter_codec to induce a decode error in the case of 5014 errors, but was not removed before returning the decoded result. Code examining the binary data in a diameter_avp record would then see the extra bit.

2014-09-08Fix best effort decode of Failed-AVPAnders Svensson
Commit c2c00fdd didn't get it quite right: it only decoded failed AVPs in the common dictionary since it's this dictionary an answer-message is decoded in. An extra dictionary isn't something that's easily passed through the decode without rewriting dictionary compilation however, and that's no small job, so continue with the use/abuse of the process dictionary by storing the dictionary module for the decode to retrieve. This is one step worse than previous uses since the dictionary is put in one module (diameter_codec) and got in another (the dictionary module), but it's the lesser of two evils.
2014-09-08Fix decode of Failed-AVP in RFC 3588 answer-messageAnders Svensson
Commit 066544fa had the unintended consequence of breaking the decode of Failed-AVP in answer-message as defined in the RFC 3588, since the grammar doesn't list Failed-AVP as an explicit component AVP, in contrast to the RFC 6733 grammar, which does. Handle this case explicitly, as an exception, just as with Failed-AVP as parent AVP.
2014-09-08Fix counters for answer-messageAnders Svensson
An answer message that sets the E-bit is encoded/decoded with Diameter common dictionary, using the answer-message grammar specified in the RFC. However, the dictionary of the application in question is the one that knows the command code of the message. Commit df19c272 didn't make this distinction when incrementing counters for an answer-message, using the common dictionary for both purposes, causing the message to be counted as unknown. This commit remedies that.
2014-08-05Map binary process info to a reference/byte countAnders Svensson
That is, instead of including the list in a diameter:service_info/2 info tuple, only include the number of references and the number of bytes referenced. The list itself can be quite large and typically isn't that interesting, at least not to a diameter user.
2014-08-05Count relayed messages on {relay, Rbit}Anders Svensson
Instead of grouping them with 'unknown'. These messages were keyed on {ApplicationId, CommandCode, Rbit} prior to commit df19c272, but distinguishing between the relay application and others is probably more useful. The only reason for not including the R-bit in the unknown key is that the key is also used elsewhere, and relay is an expected case while unknown isn't.
2014-08-05Count request retransmissionsAnders Svensson
As mentioned in the parent commit. The {Id, send, retransmission} key is of the same form as the {Id, send|recv, error} key used for encode/decode errors.
2014-08-05Fix counting of outgoing requestsAnders Svensson
Commit df19c272 broke this in avoiding counting on arbitrary keys. It didn't break it sufficiently for the only counters usage in the test suites to fail however: watchdog counters worked as intended, but no others, not even CER and DPR. More testcases are needed. This commit does change/fix the previous semantics somewhat: - Retransmissions are no longer counted. This previously made it impossible to distinguish between these and unanswered requests, since both counted as an outgoing request. There should probably be a retransmission counter but it should be distinct from the sent request counter. - The counting is always on the node from which diameter:call/4 is invoked, not the node on which the transport resides, as was previously the case. (Although they're typically one and the same.) Note that none of these semantics are documented as yet, so we're not changing a documented interface.
2014-07-21Add info item for diameter:service_info/2Anders Svensson
To extract only process info from connections info, which can be useful to reduce the amount of information returned. Choose 'info' for the item since process_info is more than one word: all others are one. Don't choose memory since it's too specific: might want to use it for more.
2014-07-21Add (process) info tuple to diameter:service_info/2Anders Svensson
To show process_info of interest. This is not yet documented since it may well change.
