Diameter AAA, Authentication
Authorization and Accounting
Diameter is the proposed successor of the RADIUS protocol.
Diameter Technical Specification, ITEF RFC3588
The Diameter base protocol is intended to provide an Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications such as network
access or IP mobility. Diameter is also intended to work in both local
Authentication, Authorization & Accounting and roaming situations. This document
pecifies the message format, transport, error reporting, accounting and security
services to be used by all Diameter applications. The Diameter base application
needs to be supported by all Diameter implementations.
openDiameter Open Source Project
The open-source Diameter implemenation protocol is based on RFC3588 designed by
the IETF's AAA Working Group. The work has been continued by the IETF DIME
(Diameter Extension) WG and its activities can be found at the DIME Activities.
The source code of the Open Diameter software is available under the combination
of Lesser GNU Pulic License and GNU Public License. The base protocol
implementation available as a C++ library and has currently support Linux, BSD
and Windows systems. It relies on ACE to provide system level abstraction for
all supported systems. Further documentation is available at sourceforge
documentation page.
