sdecugis — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 13:58:16 GMT

Hi,

Long overdue cleanup of the website done today:

removed the references to the source code here, the development happens now in github (link at the top).
idem for the ticket system, please use github.
added a link to a book that explains both Diameter protocol and freeDiameter, for more details for those who are interested.

The mailing-list is not active anymore, please use github tickets instead. Thanks !

sdecugis — Sat, 18 May 2019 07:52:13 GMT

A new book about the Diameter protocol was just published:

Diameter: New Generation AAA Protocol - Design, Practice, and Applications

The reason to mention it here: this book discusses about freeDiameter in particular, and comes with a pre-built virtual machine image that contains a ready-for-use freeDiameter environment. Quite a good starting point for any freeDiameter enthusiast.

Another downtime...

sdecugis — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 16:25:50 GMT

Hi,

You may have noticed that the domain was down for a while; the primary server has actually physically relocated to a new home... And it took some time to get all back online!

Let us know if you experience any issue now that the server is back...

Apology for the inconvenience~ Sebastien
