<h1>4 Standards Compliance</h1>



<p>
Known points of questionable or non-compliance.</p>



<h3><a name="id60952">4.1 
        RFC 6733</a></h3>


<ul>

<li>
<p>
There is no support for DTLS over SCTP.</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>
There is no explicit support for peer discovery (section 5.2).
It can possibly be implemented on top of diameter as is but this is
probably something that diameter should do.</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>
The peer state machine's election process (section 5.6.4) isn't
implemented as specified since it assumes knowledge of a
peer's Origin-Host before sending it a CER. (The identity becoming known
upon reception of CEA.)
The possibility of configuring
the peer's Origin-Host could be added, along with handling of the case
that it sends something else, but for many applications this will
just be unnecessary configuration of a value that it has no control over.</p>
</li>


</ul>





<h3><a name="id61761">4.2 
        RFC 3539</a></h3>


<p>
RFC 3539 is more difficult to comply to since it discusses
problems as much as it requires functionality but all the MUST's are
covered, the watchdog state machine being the primary one.
Of the optional functionality, load balancing is left to the
diameter user (since it's the one deciding who to send to) and
there is no Congestion Manager.</p>
