Folks,

This came up recently with RFC3588 and RFC3588bis. Assume a network =
topology where a Diameter node A sends a request to a Diameter node B. =
The Diameter node B redirects A to a Diameter node C. And then again the =
Diameter node C redirects A back to B. There are other topologies with =
similar properties..

While this is a sad misconfiguration of the network & routing, we have =
no protocol means to detect such loop. No Route-Record gets added to =
requests in this case because B and C are not forwarding packets per se. =
Should we have a "fix" for this or just let implementations deal with =
it? At minimum text describing the issue could be put somewhere in some =
relevant document. One possibility could be a "TTL" AVP that gets =
decremented every time a request/reply gets sent somewhere, independent =
of being redirected/relayed/proxied. However, that obviously has some =
backward compatibility issues if added as a mandatory AVP to the base =
protocol.

Any views on this?

ity issues if added as a mandatory AVP to the base protocol.

Interestingly enough, we have been facing the exact same issue in good
old RADIUS, when using multiple proxy hops. It is - as you write - a sad
misconfiguration, but it happens more frequently than we'd like.

We have been disucssing a TTL attribute quite a lot for our eduroam
consortium. I've brought forward the idea to the IETF ages ago on my
first appearance (uh, Chicago?) but wasn't able to generate much
intertia towards IETF-wide creation of such an attribute. For a while we
thought about a VSA, but then again, it wasn't quite important enough
for us to bully RADIUS server implementations all over the place to
include an eduroam VSA dictionary; so at some point we learned to live
without it.

If there is sufficient interest for Diameter folks to move this ahead,
it would be nice to use one of the <256 attributes so that it could be
defined in the same way in RADIUS...

Greetings,

Stefan Winter

I would support describing the problem in bis (your example is clear) and
state that the client is responsible for detecting this type of
misconfiguration. If the client is an agent, presumably it MUST answer with
the Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_LOOP_DETECTED when such an event occurs.
Anything else we need to say?

Nice idea....for Diameter v2. I would want to impact backwards compatibility
for this.

Folks,<br>

This came up recently with RFC3588 and RFC3588bis. Assume a network topolog=

I don't think you'd need to make it mandatory. If it were inserted and 
acted upon by nodes that understood it (and ignored by nodes that 
didn't) then loops would eventually be shut down as long as one of the 
nodes acting on the attribute was involved.

Actually, I don't think that this that great of an idea: it could be
used to put an absolute limit upon hops traversed, but that doesn't seem
especially useful.  Why not just change Section 6.1.8 to allow redirect
agents to check for loops & a Route-Record AVP to be added to the
redirected message?  I think that, if phrased carefully, this would not
harm backward compatibility while still providing a way to solve the
problem.  In the same vein, bullet 4 under the heading "Local Action" says

      4.  REDIRECT - Diameter messages that fall within this category
          MUST have the identity of the home Diameter server(s)
          appended, and returned to the sender of the message.  See
          Section 6.1.8 for redirect guidelines.

Why is the identity of the home Diameter server appended & how does an
arbitrary redirect agent know what it is?

That would also be rather big change. Currently redirect agents do cause =
Route-Record to be added into requests, thus checking for Route-Record =

Our interpretation has been that the sentence implies one cannot place =
Redirect Agents anywhere else than in front of the "home server". That =
would mean topologies having Redirect Agents doing redirections to =
relays/proxies/redirects are wrong. "Identity of the home Diameter =
server(s) appended" means adding Redirect-Host AVPs according to our =
interpretation.

Description of issue:=20

When peer is REOPEN state, any non-DWA message (including DWR) are "thrown =
away". This may cause the peer who sent the DWR to failover and when this i=
ssue occurs, this peer can never be in OPEN state.

Rationale/Explanation of issue:=20
Peer-1 and Peer-2 have established diameter connection and they are in OPEN=
 state. For some reason, Peer-2 loses connection to Peer-1. This causes Pee=
r-2 to move Peer-1 to "DOWN" state.
When Peer-1 connects again to Peer-2, then Peer-2 moves the state of Peer-1=
 to "REOPEN" state. Then it sends a DWR immediately. If Tw period of Peer-2=
 happens to be larger than Tw period of Peer-1 ( Eg., Tw(Peer-2) > 3 * Tw(P=
eer-1)), then it is possible that a DWR might be received from Peer-1 befor=
e second/third DWR are sent from Peer-2. Since Peer-1 is in "REOPEN" state =
in Peer-2, the DWR would Be "thrown away". This causes Peer-1 to initiate f=
ailback. When Peer-1 establishes the connection again, the above set of eve=
nts are repeated and hence the state can never change to [R/I]-OPEN.

Due to this problem, some of the implementations took violation of RFC and
send DWA for received DWR in REOPEN state.

Yours,
Naveen.

<br>
Rationale/Explanation of issue:<br>
Peer-1 and Peer-2 have established diameter connection and they are in OPEN=
 state. For some reason, Peer-2 loses connection to Peer-1. This causes Pee=
r-2 to move Peer-1 to &quot;DOWN&quot; state.<br>
When Peer-1 connects again to Peer-2, then Peer-2 moves the state of Peer-1=
 to &quot;REOPEN&quot; state. Then it sends a DWR immediately. If Tw period=
 of Peer-2 happens to be larger than Tw period of Peer-1 ( Eg., Tw(Peer-2) =
&gt; 3 * Tw(Peer-1)), then it is possible that a DWR might be received from=
 Peer-1 before second/third DWR are sent from Peer-2. Since Peer-1 is in &q=
uot;REOPEN&quot; state in Peer-2, the DWR would Be &quot;thrown away&quot;.=
 This causes Peer-1 to initiate failback. When Peer-1 establishes the conne=
ction again, the above set of events are repeated and hence the state can n=
ever change to [R/I]-OPEN.<br>

T-III is to deal with the growing overlap =0Abetween both autonomous system=
s and the future generation of network =0Atechnologies embedded in Internet=
 and cloud computing for a wide variety of applications (underwater, vehicu=
lar, medical, robotic, etc.). =0ASaCoNet focused on how smart communication=
s has affect some aspects =0A(protocols, design, equipment, algorithms, par=
adigm, power, etc.) for a =0Alarge family of applications (Healthcare, Medi=
cal, Underwater, =0AVehicular, Robotic, etc.) using network technologies (S=
ensor Networks, =0AMaNet, VANET, etc.). Indeed, autonomous applications emb=
edded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have rapidly expan=
ded from =0Aclassical applications where different modular devices, actuato=
rs and =0Asensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the cont=
rol of a given system in a centralized manner. Current trends are to propos=
e new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control =0Afuture emer=
ging networks: sky of clouds, Internet of things, etc. =0AHealthcare and we=
llness applications such as helping elderly people, =0Aassisting dependent =
persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment =0Aconstitute some of th=
e potential scenarios of convergence between =0Aautonomous systems and smar=
t network technologies. These applications, =0A(which are based on high-lev=
el commands) accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regardin=
g mechanic design, portability, =0Aacceptability, power support and efficie=

ms, which are vital =0Achallenges that limit substantially the efficiency o=
f any autonomous =0Asystem based application; network paradigms should also=
 take into =0Aaccount issues related to cost, scalability and security. Thi=

   This document describes the framework, messages, and procedures for
   the Diameter Network address and port translation Control
   Application.  This Diameter application allows per endpoint control
   of Network Address Translators and Network Address and Port
   Translators, which are added to networks to cope with IPv4-address
   space depletion.  This Diameter application allows external devices
   to configure and manage a Network Address Translator device -
   expanding the existing Diameter-based AAA and policy control
   capabilities with a Network Address Translators and Network Address
   and Port Translators control component.  These external devices can
   be network elements in the data plane such as a Network Access
   Server, or can be more centralized control plane devices such as AAA-
   servers.  This Diameter application establishes a context to commonly
   identify and manage endpoints on a gateway or server, and a Network
   Address Translator and Network Address and Port Translator device.
   This includes, for example, the control of the total number of
   Network Address Translator bindings allowed or the allocation of a
   specific Network Address Translator binding for a particular
   endpoint.  In addition, it allows Network Address Translator devices
   to provide information relevant to accounting purposes.

This draft is a work item of the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

    Title         : Diameter Priority Attribute Value Pairs

    Author(s)     : K. Carlberg, et al
    Filename      : draft-ietf-dime-priority-avps-05.txt
    Pages         : 8
    Date          : 2011-10-31
    
   This document defines Attribute-Value Pair (AVP) containers for various
   priority parameters for use with Diameter and the AAA framework.  The
   parameters themselves are defined in several different protocols that
   operate at either the network or application layer.
