It doesn't.

Diameter is useful if you have an ISP / phone company with 10 million users, and $5-10 million to spend on a Diameter infrastructure. And even then, it doesn't do authentication or accounting. Alan DeKok.

I means roaming between 2 client with 1 AAA Server in network (ex: wireless mesh network). Is roaming with Diameter faster than with Radius?

I'm sure that Diameter do authentication and accounting. Check it out, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-diameter/ Hung,

Yes... I was a participant in the process when Diameter was being created. I know most of the people who either wrote the specifications, or wrote the Diameter servers. The *protocol* supports authentication and accounting. The *implementations* don't use it. Anyone doing *real world* authentication and accounting is using RADIUS. You've read a couple of papers about Diameter. That's nice. Don't believe everything you read. Alan DeKok.

Higher marketing budgets

In my experience, that often means that the claim just is not true. Anyway, I believe you'd better ask whoever made that claim. They are in a better position to explain. And if they can't, then a) they are either telling you a lie, or b) not very good at explaining their product I don't know which is best. I prefer not to deal with either group. Bjørn
