ItemDescription

Hostname

The hostname (case sensitive) or IP address of a Diameter Identity.

For example: ggsn01.vendor.com.

Note
titleNote!

The content of the Origin-Host AVP in the answer commands from the specified peer should be identical to this value. If the values do not match, the MIM values published by the Diameter Stack agent that contain counters are not updated correctly. This may occur, for instance, if you have specified a hostname in this text box but the Origin-Host AVP contains an IP address. It is recommended that you consistently use either IP addresses or hostnames when configuring the Diameter profiles and agents.


Port

The port to connect to when initiating transport connections with a peer.

For example: 3868.

Protocol

The transport protocol to use when initiating a peer connection. The following settings are available:

  • TCP
  • TCP/TLS
  • SCTP

When TCP/TLS is selected, the Diameter Stack requires a secure connection from this host. You configure this feature by setting the Keystore Path and the Keystore Password in the Diameter Stack agent. For further information, see the section, Advanced Tab, in Diameter Stack Agent Configuration.

Note
titleNote!

SCTP must be installed on every EC host that uses the SCTP protocol. For installation instructions, see your operating system documentation.


Throughput Threshold

If throttling has been enabled for the peer, this field will show the configured threshold for when transmissions of request UDRs should be throttled. Throttled UDRs will be routed back into the workflow.

For example: 1.000 (which means a maximum of 1.000 UDRs/second will be transmitted). 

Note
titleNote!

Throttling will determine if and how the workflow will limit the number of requests and UDRs sent out from the workflow. For information regarding how to configure the Diameter agent to reject incoming requests or UDRs to the workflow, see the section, Diameter Too Busy in Diameter Stack Agent Configuration . 


On Connection from Unknown Peer

When unknown peers try to connect to the Diameter Stack, you can configure how such connection attempts are to be handled. You can choose from three options from the drop box:

  • Reject - Select this option to reject all connection attempts from unknown peers. This is the default option.
  • Accept Secure Connection - Select this option to accept connection attempts from unknown peers with TLS authentication.
  • Accept All - Select this option to accept all connection attempts from unknown peers.


To Add a Host

  1. In the Diameter Routing Profile , click on the Add button beneath the Peer Table .

    The Add Host dialog opens.

    The Diameter Routing Profile - Adding a Host


  2. Enter the host name and port for the host in the Hostname and Port fields.


  3. Select protocol in the Protocol drop-down-list.


  4. If you want to enable throttling for the peer, select the Enable Throttling check box, and then enter the maximum number of request UDRs per second you want the Diameter Stack agent to transmit to the peer in the Throughput Threshold (UDR/s) field.

    Note
    titleNote!

    Ensure that you handle the throttled UDRs in your APL code in the workflow in order to not loose any UDRs. 


  5. Click on the Add button and the host will be added in the Peer Table , and then click on the Close button to close the dialog when you are finished adding hosts.
