DSI Diameter Stack
The Dialogic
®
DSI Diameter Stack is a software implementation of the IETF
Diameter Base Protocol which is intended to facilitate development of user
applications that interface to LTE and IMS networks for the implementation of
services in the areas of: Mobility, Location, Online Charging and Offline
Charging. This release supports the S6a, S6d, S13, S13’, SLh, SLg, Ro and Rf
interfaces.
The Dialogic
®
DSI Diameter Stack includes a message based binary module
(DMR), a Functional API Library and utility components and header files for
use when developing a User Application.
Dialogic’s Diameter Module (DMR) implements the Diameter Base Protocol
offering a message based API to the User Application to control Diameter
sessions. DMR is a member of the family of Dialogic
®
DSI Components and
offers similar message-based interfaces and management capabilities to
those offered for other SS7 and SIGTRAN protocol layers. DMR uses the
services provided by the SCTP layer of the Dialogic
®
DSI SIGTRAN Stack for
the transfer of messages between Diameter Peers. Use of DMR is documented
in the DMR Programmer’s Manual.
Dialogic’s Diameter Functional API is an API layer for use by the User
Application allowing easy development of Diameter applications without being
encumbered with complex encoding and decoding rules. This release
introduces a Functional API for Java users.
This contains a set of Java classes to support development of applications
interfacing with the DMR module. It provides a Java-based API, designed to
work in conjunction with the Dialogic
®
DSI Software Environment message-
based interface. Full details of the API are contained in the Diameter
Functional API Manual.
The DSI Diameter Stack can be configured using the s7_mgt configuration
utility which reads text based configuration commands from the config.txt
file. The syntax of these commands is documented in the Software
Environment Programmer’s Manual.
