Clarifications on the Routing of Diameter Requests Based on the Username and the Realm
RFC 5729, “Clarifications on the Routing of Diameter Requests Based on the Username and the Realm”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2009 by J. Korhonen, M. Jones, L. Morand, T. Tsou. It updates RFC 3588. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines the behavior required of Diameter agents to route requests when the User-Name Attribute Value Pair contains a Network Access Identifier formatted with multiple realms. These multi-realm, or "Decorated", Network Access Identifiers are used in order to force the routing of request messages through a predefined list of mediating realms. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
