Description

The number of times that an Answer response was not received from a peer before the maximum allowed time defined by the “Pending Answer Timer” value.

Answer timeouts can be caused by a variety of reasons:

• The peer associated with this connection may be experiencing congestion, causing delays in sending the Answer response.
• IP Network congestion.
• If the peer associated with this connection is a Diameter Relay Agent, then an upstream node from the peer may be experiencing congestion, causing delays in sending the Answer response.

Recovery

1. If the user-configurable answer response timer is set too low it can cause the timer to expire before a Answer response is received. The user-configurable value is set using the page Diameter > Configuration > System Options.
2. It is recommended to contact My Oracle Support (MOS) for assistance if needed.
