Diameter resource adaptors can specify extension (custom) AVPs, using the Diameter Extension AVP and Diameter Extension AVP Set SLEE profile specifications.
When a resource adaptor entity is configured to support a particular set of extension AVPs, the AVP definitions will be loaded when the entity starts. The Diameter stack can then use these definitions to encode AVPs that are added to messages or grouped AVPs, and decode AVPs that are received.
