Diameter transport over SCTP.
This module implements diameter transport over SCTP using gen_sctp(3). It can be specified as the value of a transport_module option to diameter:add_transport/2 and implements the behaviour documented in diameter_transport(3).
Functions
Type = connect | accept
Ref = diameter:transport_ref()
Svc = #diameter_service{}
Opt = OwnOpt | SctpOpt
Pid = pid()
LAddr = inet:ip_address()
Reason = term()
OwnOpt = {raddr, inet:ip_address()} | {rport, integer()} | {accept, Match} | {unordered, boolean() | pos_integer()} | {packet, boolean() | raw} | {message_cb, diameter:eval()} | {sender, boolean()}
SctpOpt = term()
Match = inet:ip_address() | string() | [Match]
The start function required by diameter_transport(3).
Options raddr
and rport
specify the remote address
and port for a connecting transport and not valid for a listening
transport: the former is required while latter defaults to 3868 if
unspecified.
Multiple raddr
options can be specified, in which case the
connecting transport in question attempts each in sequence until
an association is established.
Option accept
specifies remote addresses for a listening
transport and is not valid for a connecting transport.
If specified, a remote address that does not match one of the
specified addresses causes the association to be aborted.
Multiple accept
options can be specified.
A string-valued Match
that does not parse as an address is
interpreted as a regular expression.
Option unordered
specifies whether or not to use unordered
delivery, integer N
being equivalent to N =< OS
,
where OS
is the number of outbound streams negotiated on the
association in question.
Regardless of configuration, sending is ordered on stream 0
until reception of a second incoming message, to ensure that a peer
receives capabilities exchange messages before any other.
Defaults to false
.
Option packet
determines how/if an incoming message is
packaged into a diameter_packet record.
If false
then messages are received as binary().
If true
then as a record with the binary() message in the
bin
field and a {stream, Id}
tuple in the
transport_data
field, where Id
is the identifier of the
inbound stream the message was received on.
If raw
then as a record with the received ancillary
sctp_sndrcvinfo record in the transport_data
field.
Defaults to true
.
Options message_cb
and sender
have semantics identical
to those documented in diameter_tcp(3), but with the message argument
to a recv
callback being as directed by the packet
option.
An {outstream, Id}
tuple in the transport_data
field of
a outgoing diameter_packet record sets the outbound stream on which
the message is sent, modulo the negotiated number of outbound streams.
Any other value causes successive such sends to cycle though all
outbound streams.
Remaining options are any accepted by gen_sctp:open/1, with the exception
of options mode
, binary
, list
, active
and sctp_events
.
Note that options ip
and port
specify the local address
and port respectively.
Multiple ip
options can be specified for a multihomed peer.
If none are specified then the values of Host-IP-Address
in the diameter_service
record are used.
Option port
defaults to 3868 for a listening transport and 0 for a
connecting transport.
