DESCRIPTION
You can use the peer component to manage a named Diameter peer. A peer specifies the pool for the Diameter
router to use as the destination for Diameter routes. You can also use the peer component to specify how many
connections the parser creates to a remote host and what transport the parser uses to establish the
connection.

EXAMPLES
create peer my_peer { pool my_pool transport { type virtual name my_vip }

Creates a Diameter peer named my_peer which uses the settings of my_vip to establish a connection with a pool
member from pool my_pool.

OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the object belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the object. Only the application service can modify or delete the object.

auto-initialization
If enabled, the BIGIP will automatically create outbound connections to the active pool members in the
specified pool using the configuration of the specified transport-config. For auto-initialization to
attempt to create a connection, the peer must be included in a route that is attached to a router
instance. For each router instance that the peer is contained in, a connection will be initiated. The
auto-initialization logic will verify at a configurable interval if the a connection exists between the
BIG-IP and the pool members of the pool. If a connection does not exist, it will attempt to reestablish
one. The default is disabled.

auto-initialization-interval
Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) that attempts to initiate a connection occur. Valid ranges are
from 500ms to 65535ms. The default is 5000ms.

connection-mode
Specifies how the number of connections per host is limited. Note a host (specified in the referred pool)
may exist more than one peer object, and those peer objects may have different settings for connection-
mode and number_connections. Thus, these settings specify how messages routed through this peer are
distributed between a set of connections, not the maximum number of connections to a specified host. The
default value is per-peer.

per-blade
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per blade in the cluster.

per-client
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection.

per-client-per-blede
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection for each blade.

per-client-per-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection for each tmm.

per-peer
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host.

per-peer-alternate-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host. Any new connections will be opened on an
alternate TMM to spread CPU usage.

per-client-alternate-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection. Any new connections will
be opened on an alternate TMM to spread CPU usage.

per-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per TMM in the system.

description
User defined description.

number-connections
Specifies the distribution of connections between the BIG-IP system and a remote host. The default value
is 1.

pool Specifies the name of the pool to which the Diameter parser routes messages.

ratio
Specifies the ratio the Diameter router uses to select a peer from a list of peers for the ltm message-
routing diameter route. The default value is 1.

transport-config
Specifies the name of the transport configuration (ltm message-routing diameter transport-config) the
message router uses to create an outgoing connection.
