Features

The freeDiameter framework supports the following features:

• Full support for the Diameter Base Protocol defined in RFC3588 and ​rfc3588bis, including:
  • Native IP/IPv6 and TCP/SCTP support.
  • TLS support (mixed port or separate ports), even for SCTP (in RFC3436 flavour, DTLS is not supported yet, see 19)
  • Diameter failover and failback mechanisms
  • Diameter routing loops detection and avoidance
  • Base Accounting support is provided by the app_acct.fdx extension.
  • Messages relaying is natively supported by the framework without need for any extension (unless you need complex routing rules).
  • Diameter Redirects are supported by the rt_redirect.fdx? and app_redirect.fdx? extensions.
• Diameter EAP server (RFC4072) support is provided by the app_diameap.fdx extension.
• Diameter SIP (RFC4740) support is provided by the app_sip.fdx extension.
• RADIUS/Diameter translation for NASREQ (RFC4005), EAP (RFC4072), and SIP (RFC4740) is provided by the app_radgw.fdx extension.

Many additional exciting extensions are in preparation right now...
