Hello all
a question for me is also what exactly do we mean by:

> "MUST NOT be sent via intermediate nodes unless there is end-to-end 
> security between the originator and recipient "

Which kind of e2e security? There is no such thing in Diameter right now, or did I miss something?
We can only do e2e security by hop-by-hop security (IPsec or TLS), if there is NO intermediate (Diameter) node.
So, either we have e2e security, then there is no intermediate node - or we have intermediate nodes, then there can't be e2e security. 


Best regards
