    The document discusses the Diameter C++ API and Open Diameter Project. It describes the design of the C++ API, including leveraging the existing C API and using object-oriented features. It also outlines the benefits of C++, such as reusable classes and exception handling. Additionally, it provides an overview of the Open Diameter Project, including its history and architecture. The presentation raises the question of whether the C++ API could be a work item for the WG.

    Diameter C++ API and

    Open Diameter Project


    Yoshihiro Ohba

    Dilip Patel

    IETF55 AAA WG Diameter C++ API and Open Diamet 1


    er project
    Diameter C++ API
    • Design policy
    – Leveraging object-oriented nature of C++
    – Reuse what is already defined in the C API as
    much as possible
    • Document
    – draft-ohba-aaa-diameter-cxxapi-00.txt
    – Sample code in Appendix

    IETF55 AAA WG Diameter C++ API and Open Diamet 2


    er project
    Why C++ API?
    • Since classes are hierarchically defined, it is easy
    to reuse and extend what is already defined
    • C++ has a built-in exception handling mechanism
    for providing a better way of handling errors
    • Better handling of callback functions
    – A set of variables and associated functions can be
    passed in a single argument as a pointer to a class
    instance

    IETF55 AAA WG Diameter C++ API and Open Diamet 3


    er project
    Basic Structure of the API
    • Element data-type definitions
    – No member functions
    – Type definitions in the C API are reused
    • Parser class definitions
    – Classes for assembling/reassembling messages and
    AVPs
    • Session/Event/Message Control class definitions
    – Classes for handling sessions, events and sending
    messages
    IETF55 AAA WG Diameter C++ API and Open Diamet 4
    er project
    Open Diameter Project
    • History
    – “Open Source Diameter” Project created in SourceForge in Jan 2002, by David
    Frascone
    – “OpenDiameter” Project created in Oct 2002 by Toshiba America Research, Inc.
    (TARI)
    – The two projects were merged into “Open Diameter” project in Nov 2002
    • URL
    – http://www.opendiameter.org (project home page)
    – http://sourceforge.net/projects/diameter (CVS repository, tar archives, ML)
    • Source code
    – Using the C++ API, (Java-based implementation is also planned)
    – Thread-safe
    – Using ACE (Adaptive Communication Environment) library to archive OS-
    independency and employ typical design patterns
    – Using XML for Command & AVP dictionary and configuration files
    – Libraries are under Lesser GPL (LGPL)
    – Daemon programs will be under GPL

    er project
    • Can the C++ API be a work item of the
    WG?
    – We believe that the C++ API (as well as the C
    API) and the Open Diameter project can help
    the community deploy Diameter quickly
