Landslide Performance Test System – Release 24.3 September 2024

Diameter Settings

Rather than using auto-incrementing values in a Diameter test, you can provision User Name, Password, and any AVP with an imported Test Data File. The table below lists the parameters that support Diameter data file provisioning along with the value codes and formats required.

These are User name, Password, and AVP (Attribute Value Pairs).

AvpExt

When you provision AVPs, the value format includes the same settings as a AVP Template:

“Avp” field format is <Vendor-ID>/<Type>/<MaskGrp1>/<Format>/<Auto Increment>/<AVP Flags>/<Value>

 

The Diameter Setting TDF field (AvpExt) has been added to the TDF structure to expand how the message mask is used.

“AvpExt” field format is <MessageMaskFromGrp2/MessageMaskFromGrp3/MessageMaskFromGrp4>

NOTE: Prior to Release 15.5, the format to identify an AVP was:

“Avp” field format is <Vendor-ID>/<Type>/<Mask>/<Format>/<Auto Increment>/<AVP Flags>/<Value>

 

  • Prior to Release 15.5, the message mask was mapped to message(s) within a single message group.

  • New releases have required the creation of multiple message groups (4 groups as of Release 15.5).

  • The “AvpExt” field is added to the TDF structure to specify the message mask(s) and the message group(s) associated with the added AVP.

  • The mask value in the “Avp” field specifies a mask for message group 1, if applicable. If the AVP is not to be included in any message in message group 1 than this value is 0.

  • The “AvpExt” field includes the message mask of messages in message groups 2, 3 or 4. The values are position-dependent in that the 1st mask is for message group2, the 2nd mask is for message group3, and the 3rd mask is for message group4.

  • A zero value in any position indicates that no messages are used for that group. A non-zero value in any position indicates that 1 or more messages from that group is to contain the AVP.

 

Where:

  • <Vendor-ID> = Decimal or hexadecimal Vendor ID

  • <Type> = Decimal or hexadecimal attribute Type

  • <MaskGrp1> = A bit mask indicating which message in Message Mask Group 1 that includes the attribute (Applies To)

  • <MessageMaskFromGrp2> (AvpExt) = A bit mask indicating which message in Message Mask Group 2 that includes the attribute (Applies To)

  • <MessageMaskFromGrp3> (AvpExt) = A bit mask indicating which message in Message Mask Group 3 that includes the attribute (Applies To)

  • <MessageMaskFromGrp4> (AvpExt) = A bit mask indicating which message in Message Mask Group 4 that includes the attribute (Applies To)

    NOTE: The Message Mask values can either be in Decimal or Hex format but not both.
