Re: [Dime] RFC 6733 Commands

["Jouni" <[e-mail]>]

Unless you extend and existing application within the rules in Section 1.3.4
you always get a new application. And if you wish to extend the existing
base protocol application with new commands that most likely would require a
new protocol version. I think we are good here with the current text.

Actually, we may have an issue there. The spec says that zero must be used
for base protocol messages (page 23):

 

Diameter messages pertaining to peer connection

   establishment and maintenance such as CER/CEA, DWR/DWA, and DPR/DPA

   MUST carry an Application Id of zero (0).

 

But does not say that it must not be used for anything else (or at least I
failed to find such text). Do you think such text should be added?

Note that there is such text regarding vendor-id.

agreed, we have encountered some folks tying the ACR/ACA to app id 0 in open
source.

Hi Lyle,

 

I think that there is no specific reason. By definition, the command is
independent of any application. So when describing the command code, it may
or may not be contained in the command code header. It is consistent with
the CCF specification:

 

   header           = "<Diameter-Header:" command-id

                         [r-bit] [p-bit] [e-bit] [application-id]">"

 

The CCF is mainly used to identify the set of AVP that can be present in the
command.

 

Regards,

 

Lionel

In the spec was there a particular reason why we did not specify the
application Identifier in the header for each of the command codes, e.g.
ACR/ACA assigned to application ID 3?
