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 specifies 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.
This document is a product of the Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Working Group.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
