the diameter protocol

Diameter is an authentication, authorization and accounting protocol for computer networks, and an alternative to RADIUS.









Anyway, here are some links.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_(protocol)
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3588
• http://www.freediameter.net/trac/wiki/Configuration
• http://aaa.koganei.wide.ad.jp/documentation/fD_tuto_2e%20-%20Quickstart%20a%20testbed.pdf

For troubleshooting diameter, I have mostly been using tcpdump and wireshark since wireshark has dissectors for the Diameter protocol. Next I will be working on tcpdump filters.
