Overview of Diameter Protocol Configuration
A typical WebLogic SIP Server domain includes support for the Diameter base protocol and one
or more IMS Diameter interface applications (Sh, Ro, Rf) deployed to engine tier servers that act
as Diameter client nodes. SIP Servlets deployed on the engines can use the available Diameter
applications to initiate requests for user profile data, accounting, and credit control, or to
subscribe to and receive notification of profile data changes.
