Application to Diameter
Option A – SMIng to Diameter mapping
Use the SMIng to Diameter protocol mapping proposed by Juergen Schoenwaelder in draft-schoenw-sming-diameter-00.txt.
Option B – UML to Grouped AVPs
Using the UML model as a reference, define a set of Grouped type AVPs to carry the objects identified. The grouped AVPs contain sets of simple AVPs as currently defined. The PIB serves as the formal notation. It MAY be implemented in the NAS (but need not).
Option C – PRC AVP
Define a PRC AVP in Diameter. Each PRC AVP would contain a single PRC object, SPPI (or SMIng) encoded, identified by PRID. A Diameter message would consist of a set of one or more PRC AVPs plus perhaps other AVPs such as Timestamp, Nonce, Integrity-Check-Value.
