Summary:                    Diameter implementation of Asterisk CDR.
Description: 
The feature implements Base Accounting of Diameter protocol, the next
generation AAA protocol which overcomes the drawbacks of RADIUS. 

The architecture and design of the feature (diameter module) can be
extended for applications like prepaid and credit control with ease.

The feature provides interface to integrate it with CDR module of
asterisk. 

Accounting in Diameter is handled in two different ways, Real-time
accounting and One-time accounting. The module takes care of both the
types.

With the existing CDR feature of asterisk, one-time accounting is enabled
and tested. The feature uses TCP for peer support. Peer state machine and
Accounting Session state machine are implemented with reference to RFC
3588.
Every time CDR of a call is posted in asterisk, this feature sends an
accounting message with CDR information to the Diameter Server. This
feature also takes care of packet loss, retransmission and failover as per
RFC 3588.

Interim accounting is also implemented in the feature but not tested. It
is not yet integrated and enabled with Asterisk as I could not find a
proper Diameter server to test Interim accounting. Storing and sending of
accounting records in case of failures is not done as of now
