[erlang-questions] Diameter client issue

Hi, Rudolph & Anders,

Not sure your problem is resolved or not.

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.

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.

I am not sure my understanding above is correct or not. Can you provide
some guidance?

Thanks,

Samuel
