Diameter transport over SCTP.
This module implements diameter transport over SCTP using gen_sctp. It can
be specified as the value of a transport_module option to
diameter:add_transport/2 and implements the behaviour documented in
diameter_transport.

Summary
Functions
The start function required by diameter_transport.
Types
-type connect_option() :: {raddr, inet:ip_address()} | {rport, inet:port_number()} | option() | term().
-type match() :: inet:ip_address() | string() | [match()].
-type option() :: {sender, boolean()} | sender | {packet, boolean() | raw} | {message_cb, false | diameter:eval()}.
Functions
-spec start({accept, Ref}, #diameter_service{pid :: term(), capabilities :: term(), applications :: term()}, [listen_option()]) -> {ok, pid(), [inet:ip_address()]} when Ref :: diameter:transport_ref(); ({connect, Ref}, #diameter_service{pid :: term(), capabilities :: term(), applications :: term()}, [connect_option()]) -> {ok, pid(), [inet:ip_address()]} when Ref :: diameter:transport_ref().
The start function required by diameter_transport.
Options raddr and rport specify the remote address and port for a connecting
transport and not valid for a listening transport: the former is required while
latter defaults to 3868 if unspecified. Multiple raddr options can be
specified, in which case the connecting transport in question attempts each in
sequence until an association is established.
Option accept specifies remote addresses for a listening transport and is not
valid for a connecting transport. If specified, a remote address that does not
match one of the specified addresses causes the association to be aborted.
Multiple accept options can be specified. A string-valued Match that does
not parse as an address is interpreted as a regular expression.
Option unordered specifies whether or not to use unordered delivery, integer
N being equivalent to N =< OS, where OS is the number of outbound streams
negotiated on the association in question. Regardless of configuration, sending
is ordered on stream 0 until reception of a second incoming message, to ensure
that a peer receives capabilities exchange messages before any other. Defaults
to false.
Option packet determines how/if an incoming message is packaged into a
diameter_packet record. If false then messages are received as binary(). If
true then as a record with the binary() message in the bin field and a
{stream, Id} tuple in the transport_data field, where Id is the identifier
of the inbound stream the message was received on. If raw then as a record
with the received ancillary sctp_sndrcvinfo record in the transport_data
field. Defaults to true.
Options message_cb and sender have semantics identical to those documented
in diameter_tcp(3), but with the message argument to
a recv callback being as directed by the packet option.
An {outstream, Id} tuple in the transport_data field of a outgoing
diameter_packet record sets the outbound stream on which the message is sent,
modulo the negotiated number of outbound streams. Any other value causes
successive such sends to cycle though all outbound streams.
Remaining options are any accepted by gen_sctp:open/1, with the exception of
options mode, binary, list, active and sctp_events. Note that options
ip and port specify the local address and port respectively.
Multiple ip options can be specified for a multihomed peer. If none are
specified then the values of Host-IP-Address in the diameter_service record
are used. Option port defaults to 3868 for a listening transport and 0 for a
connecting transport.
Warning
An small receive buffer may result in a peer having to resend incoming messages: set the
inetoptionrecbufto increase the buffer size.An small send buffer may result in outgoing messages being discarded: set the
inetoptionsndbufto increase the buffer size.
