Diameter 3006 DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION

DiameterRFC 6733 §7.1 · 3GPP TS 29.272 §7.4.3 · RFC 4006

What it means

The agent that answered is telling the sender to go directly to another host (DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION) -- normal behaviour of a redirect agent, not an error by itself.

Where you see it

In the Result-Code or Experimental-Result-Code AVP of a Diameter answer (S6a, S6d, Gx, Gy, Cx…).

What to check

Check that the sender then re-sends the request to the host named in Redirect-Host.

Look at the Origin-Host of the answer: an intermediate agent (DRA/IPX) and the home HSS mean different owners of the problem.
