Connections Maintenance Elements
Field	Description
Connection Name	Name of the Connection
MP Server Hostname	Hostname of the MP server from which status is reported: Fixed (non-IPFE) Connections are always reported by the DA-MP that hosts the Fixed Connection Established IPFE Connections are always reported by the DA-MP that hosts the established IPFE Connection Non-Established IPFE Connections (ones that have been configured, but are currently not assigned to a DA-MP by IPFE) are reported by the MP Leader
Admin State	A Connection's administrative state can be: Enabled: the Connection is Enabled Disabled: the Connection is Disabled Unk: unknown; the state of the Connection is not available in the database
Operational Status	A Connection's administrative state can be: Available: the Connection is available for routing Degraded: the Connection is not unavailable but it is not operating as expected. The Operational Reason field provides additional information on this status. Unavailable: the Connection is unavailable. The Operational Reason field provides additional information on this status.
CPL	The Connection Priority Level is the maximum of the following values: Operational Status (0=available; 3=degraded; 99=unavailable) Remote Busy Congestion Level (0-3) Egress Transport Congestion Level (0-4) Egress Message Rate Congestion Level (0-3)
Operational Reason	Reason for the Operational Status. The following reasons can occur: Disabled Connecting Listening Abnormal Disconnecting Proving Watchdog Remote Busy Congestion Egress Transport Congestion Egress Message Rate Congestion Normal Peer with reduced IP set
Connection Mode	The Connection can have one of the following Connection Modes: Initiator Only Indicates that the Local Node will initiate the Connection the Peer Nodes. Definition Term Indicates that the Local Node will only respond to the Connection initiated from the Peer Node. Indicates that the Local Node will initiate a Connection in addition to responding to Connection initiations from the Peer Node.
Local Node	Local Node associated with the Connection
IPFE Initiator DAMP	The IPFE Initiator DA-MP for this connection.
Peer Node	Peer Node associated with the Connection
Remote IP Addresses	The IP address(es) of the Peer Node associated with the Connection
Remote Port	The Listen Port of the Peer Node associated with the Connection
Ingress Msgs Per Second	A 30-second running average of the Ingress messages processed by the Connection
Common Application Ids	A comma-separated list of Application IDs received in a Diameter CEA message, or a list of Application Names. The first 10 Application IDs received in the CEA are listed. Note: For local nodes, CEAs are sent in response to erroneous CERs.
Transport Congestion Abatement Timeout	The amount of time spent at Egress Transport Congestion Levels 3, 2, and 1 during Egress Transport Congestion Abatement
Remote Busy Usage	Indicates which Request messages can be forwarded on this Connection after receiving a DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY response from the Connection's Peer. Disabled The Connection is not considered to be BUSY after receiving a DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY response. All Request messages continue to be forwarded to (or rerouted to) this Connection. Enabled The Connection is considered to be BUSY after receiving a DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY response. No Request messages are forwarded to (or rerouted to) this Connection until the Remote Busy Abatement Timeout expires. Host Override The Connection is considered to be BUSY after receiving a DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY response. Only Request messages whose Destination-Host AVP value is the same as the Connection's Peer FQDN can be forwarded to (or rerouted to) this Connection until the Remote Busy Abatement Timeout expires.
Remote Busy Abatement Timeout	If Remote Busy Usage is Enabled or Host Override, this is the time period in seconds that the Connection will be considered BUSY from the last time a DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY response was received.
Message Priority Setting	Indicates the source of Message Priority for a Request message arriving on the Connection. Possible settings are: None - use the Default Message Priority Configuration Set Read from Request Message - read the Message Priority from the ingress Request User Configured - Apply the user configured Message Priority Configuration Set
Message Priority Configuration Set	The Message Priority Configuration Set associated with the Connection
Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set	The Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set associated with the Connection
Egress Msgs Per Second	The most recent Egress Message Rate on the Connection
Test Mode	Indicates if this is a Test Connection
PDUs to Diagnose	For a test Connection currently undergoing diagnosis, this shows the number of PDUs yet to be diagnosed.
Time of Last Update	Time stamp that shows the last time the status information was updated
