Hi Harishita,

If you refer RFC - 3588 as the description says, the AVP is used when Result Code set to "DIAMETER_MULTI_ROUND_AUTH".

DIAMETER_MULTI_ROUND_AUTH explains:- that this informational error is returned by a Diameter server to inform the access device that the authentication mechanism being used requires multiple round trips, and a subsequent request needs to be issued in order for access to be granted.

Few more points I would like to add for this AVP, it is used with "Diameter Network Access Server Application".

So more details we can get from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4005 Section 9.1 Page 55-58

Thanks,
Chinmoy

Diameter: How does a Diameter node make out that answer message is received by peer ?

I know Diameter client can re-transmit the request message until it receives the answer message.
But what about when a Diameter node has sent answer message to the last received request from its peer and that's is not received but its peer. In this case, from Diameter client node transaction is not completed since it did not receive answer message but from other node point of view it has responded with answer and transaction is completed.
