  Description     : Diameter protocol implementation


freeDiameter is an implementation of the Diameter protocol specified
in RFC3588. Diameter is a protocol for carrying Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting information. It is an evolution of the
widely-deployed RADIUS protocol. freeDiameter also implements the
changes to the Diameter protocol introduced by the rfc3588bis Internet
Draft (work in progress).

It is a dependency of nextepc and therefore required to get software for
4G cellular network infrastructure into Debian.

There is a package called erlang-diameter already in Debian, but this
is the first
C implementation of Diameter to be added to Debain AFAIK.

It will be maintained in the Debian Mobcom team.
