Hi,

I think DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP can be used to indicate that an optional
AVP (defined inside '[]' in the ABNF) is missing in the received command.

I think this is useful for example for Diameter Applications that have
AVPs that are defined to be present in certain conditions and absent
in other conditions.


BR,
Mikko

Subject: [AAA-WG]: [AAA] Using DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP for optional AVP


Hi AAA folks,
In the RFC 3588, the result-code DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP is ussed to indicate that a mandatory AVP (required by the command code ABNF specification) is missing in the received command.
Is it possible to use the DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP result code along with the Failed-AVP AVP to indicate that an optional AVP (from the ABNF point of view) is missing in the received command? If not, could you identify some operational issues?
Any opinion?
