Notes on the DIAMETER Rx Interface

DIAMETER Rx support for external bandwidth management is specialized for pooled transcoding.

For pooled transcoding, the identifier appears in this altered format: <policy server name>;<policy server realm>;<dns suffix>. Because there are two dialogs (one for the server UA and one for the client UA), there are two separate media sessions. This situation requires the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager to generate two different DIAMETER session identifiers. At the same time, the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager needs to maintain the AAR and STR associations with the original SIP session. To keep this relationship clear, the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager keeps the DIAMETER session identifier between the two media sessions the same for the two UAs.

The MBCD session identifier associated with the media session for the original SIP session is retained for the DIAMETER session identifier for the duration of the SIP session.
