DIAMETER: Who (sender or receiver) sets the proxiable bit in the diameter message ?

Question

Hi,

I want to know in which scenario or which diameter messages can set the Error bit ('E') bit in request/response messages.
Also, How 'E' bit is set with Transient failures, Permanent failures and Protocol Errors.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,

Both sender and receiver can set the P bit in request and response messages.
Setting the P bit means the message MAY be proxied, relayed or redirected
