== Features ==

The freeDiameter framework supports the following features:
 * Full support for the '''Diameter Base Protocol''' defined in RFC3588 and [http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis rfc3588bis], including:
  * Native IP/IPv6 and TCP/SCTP support.
  * TLS support (mixed port or separate ports), even for SCTP (in RFC3436 flavour, DTLS is not supported yet, see [ticket:19])
  * Diameter failover and failback mechanisms
  * Diameter routing loops detection and avoidance
  * Base Accounting support is provided by the [wiki:app_acct.fdx] extension.
  * Messages '''relaying''' is natively supported by the framework without need for any extension (unless you need complex routing rules).
  * Diameter '''Redirects''' are supported by the [wiki:rt_redirect.fdx] and [wiki:app_redirect.fdx] extensions.
 * '''Diameter EAP server''' (RFC4072) support is provided by the [wiki:app_diameap.fdx] extension.
 * '''Diameter SIP''' (RFC4740) support is provided by the [wiki:app_sip.fdx] extension.
 * '''RADIUS/Diameter translation''' for NASREQ (RFC4005), EAP (RFC4072), and SIP (RFC4740) is provided by the [wiki:app_radgw.fdx] extension.

Many additional exciting extensions are in preparation right now...
