Currently I'm playing with using Wireshark diameter dictionary, but there are several drawbacks:

  • there are NO command abbreviations in Wireshark (e.g Capabilities-Exchange Request = CER)
  • there are multiple AVPs with same name (different vendor-id)
  • some values are unable to distinguish for encoding (e.g good luck setting Auth-Application-Id in CER to Gx)

Solutions seems simple, but I would like to check if they are acceptable (or maybe find a better one):

  • have additional dictionary for command abbreviation
  • use Avp-Name + Vendor-Id for encoding
  • use numerical values where no unique solution exist
