Diameter Protocol experience

[incoincov]

Hi guys,

Is there some core guy who has an experiece with diameter protocol? I am interested in some real live network examples.

thanks!

This is the TOP LEVEL PROTOCOL of S6a, between MME and HSS.
Some EPC EXpert can help about this issue.

This is course should be useful for you... Maybe someone in the forum can share it......
"DIAMETER and Charging in LTE / IMS"
http://www.inacon.com/crt/crt_toc_diameter_and_lte_ims.php

Course Duration:
● 3 days

Course Description:
● This course describes in detail structure and application cases of the Diameter protocol.
● We will start with a review of RADIUS discussing the concepts and protocol usage of AAA
architectures and introduce the evolutions introduced with Diameter.
● An important part of the course will cover the policy control architecture and the alternatives with the
logical entities PCEF and PCRF in a distributed environment as well as Diameter signaling routing
and the use and purpose of Diameter Routing Agents (DRA's)
● Improved security, load sharing and redundancy issues will be discussed through thorough
explanation of the Diameter protocol stack and in particular the SCTP transport capabilities.
● A thorough discussion of the Diameter Base protocol with the structure of the specification, Request /
Response model, AVP principles and an overview of the Diameter applications defined by IETF such
as NAS and CC commands and parameters.
● We will then review the various applications and interfaces developed by 3GPP for Diameter and
will particularly focus on Diameter in the IMS and EPC environment for Authorization, Authentication
and the usage in the security architecture.
● The Diameter Cx / Dx, S6, SWx and Sta interfaces will be evaluated in detailed with selected
scenarios and sample log files to explain interworking with the HSS and AAA servers in 3GPP.
● The details of the commands and parameters of the Sh and Dh interfaces will explain the
communications with application servers in the IMS environment with the access and update of
profile information and access rights.
● Another important section deals with all aspects of the charging infrastructure accessed through
Online and Offline charging interfaces Ro and Rf in IMS systems and Gy and Gz interfaces in the
EPC
● Finally, we will review Diameter in the policing environment, evaluating the Gq/Go interfaces and
discussing the related procedures and signaling.
As in all INACON courses we integrated several interactive exercises for a perfect learning experience.
Mainly these exercises are based on already prepared WIRESHARK logfiles which are provided to the
students by the trainer. For those who don't have a PC with them or who do not use WIRESHARK, the
logfiles are made available as printouts.

This is a pdf ONLY with the CONTENT and DESCRIPTION of the course.

Hi thank you for the answer, but i am not interested myself in acquiring diameter protocol knowledge. I just need a person who has live network experience with diameter protocol and diameter protocol troubleshooting practise.

cheers!
