  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.
