Section: 17.8 Gmb specific Experimental-Result-Code AVP values 17.8.0 General
Content: There are two different types of errors in Diameter; protocol and application errors. A protocol error is one that occurs at the base protocol level, those are covered in the Diameter Base IETF RFC 6733 [111] specific procedures. Application errors, on the other hand, generally occur due to a problem with a function specified in a Diameter application. Diameter Base IETF RFC 6733 [111] defines a number of Result-Code AVP values that are used to report protocol errors and how those are used. Those procedures and values apply for the present specification. Due to the Gmb specific AVPs, new applications errors can occur. The Gmb specific errors are described by the Experimental-Result-Code AVP in this clause, below. Note that according to IETF RFC 6733 [111], the Diameter node reports only the first error encountered and only one Result-Code AVP or one Experimental-Result AVP is included in the Diameter answer.
