Re: [Dime] End-to-End Identifier Header || RFC 6733

[Diaa Saied <[e-mail]>]

Hello Lionel,

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback it's totally clear, the confusion is that below quote is not differentiating between the original request and the retransmitted request as it says "Senders of request message....." and the retransmitted request is considered a 'Sent request' also, so I was thinking if this part need to be edited to be more clear like saying "Originators of request message......" , or stating that "......on each new message"

Hi Diaa,

The E2E Id is only unique for the sender not for the receiver. It is the reason the tuple [E2E Id | Diameter Id] is used to uniquely identify a message.
"Retransmitted messages" are identical to the messages previously sent. They are messages in the a pending message queue, for which no answer has been received. Therefore they will havethe same E2E Id and the same Origin-Host (Diameter id).

I Hope that this answer to your question.

Regards,

Lionel

Objet : [Dime] End-to-End Identifier Header || RFC 6733

Dears,

This is Diaa from Huawei Telecommunications company and I have inquiry about the End-to-End Identifier Header in the diameter message as it's not stated clearly whether the End-to-End Identifier shall be unique on every request including the retransmitted requests or only unique for each new generated request and the retransmitted ones use the same End-to-End identifier, and below I put two snapshots; one from clause#3 (Diameter Header) [left picture] and one from clause#5.5.4 (Failover and Failback Procedures) [right picture] as both mentioned the End-to-End Identifier but in different ways, so please need to know what the standard means exactly in case of retransmission in terms of assigning the End-to-End Identifier
