Hi David, thanks for your question. If Cx-1 fails the response will not reach any homestead at all. Diameter responses are hop-by-hop - they follow the same path that the request took (in reverse order of course).
However if Cx-1 fails, sprout will end up retrying the request it sent to homestead, which will cause homestead to retry the request to the HSS. This is true however Cx-1 actually fails: - If the first homestead node fails the HTTP transaction will time out on sprout, and it will retry to another homestead. - If the transport layer fails (so that Cx-1 fails but the homestead node stays up), homestead will reject the HTTP request, and sprout retries to another homestead. Hope this helps, Alex. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Luong, David Sent: 24 October 2014 20:05 To: [email protected] Subject: [Clearwater] Homestead cluster and HSS Hi PCW Team, Let's assume there are two homestead instances in a cluster and each instance establishes a diameter connection with the HSS Cx interface: Cx-1 and Cx-2. If Cx-1 goes down after a request is sent to HSS, can the HSS send response over Cx-2 or does homestead expect the response to come over Cx-1? Thank You.
