<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi, Rudolph & Anders,<br><br></div>Not sure your problem is resolved or not.<br><br></div>I was able to use the diameter sample code with the local/remote mode, i.e. Start a diameter server in an erts on a pc, and start a diameter client in an erts on another pc (I use virtual machines as pcs here). They can communicate different types of diameter messages without problems.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>However, when I try to use a diameter client (the sample code) from an erts to connect a diameter server which is not running within an erts (other diameter server not implemented in erlang). It doesn't work(can not build up a connection). I am not quite familiar with the detailed implementation of the erlang diameter library now. I am feeling that the erlang diameter relies on the erlang nodes, which means all the peers are built up only on the erts (distributed erlang runtimes). Does the erlang diameter only work within erlang environment? Or in order to talk to other diameter servers, does it need to write another erlang client using some functions from the erlang diameter library, like encode/decode? The sample client code doesn't work in this situation.<br>
<br></div><div>I am not sure my understanding above is correct or not. Can you provide some guidance?<br><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><br>Samuel<br><br></div><span style="border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0px"></span></div>
