+#######################
+# This file contains the description of configuration and general information about the
+# "test_app" extension.
+
+# This extension provides a simple way to send a predefined message over the Diameter Network.
+# It may be used to test the Routing or other base mechanisms from the Diameter network.
+
+# In order to enable this extension, the main freeDiameter configuration file
+# must contain the following declaration:
+# LoadExtension = "extensions/app_test.fdx" : "/path/to/app_test.conf" ;
+# Note that the conffile may be omitted, in which case default parameters will be assumed.
+#######################
+
+
+#######################
+# Configuration of the test message
+
+# This application is defined as a Vendor-Specific application. 
+# Since freeDiameter does not have a IANA-assigned Vendor ID, we let a configurable value here:
+# vendor-id = 999999;
+
+# The application id. Same remark as previously.
+# appli-id = 999999;
+
+# The command code for Test-Request and Test-Answer. The range 0xfffffe-ffffff (dec: 16777215) is reserved for experimental use.
+# cmd-id = 16777214;
+
+# The AVP id for the test.
+# avp-id = 345678;
+
+# Another AVP id for long payload test. default to value 0, meaning this is not used.
+# long-avp-id = 0;
+
+# Define the payload length of the long-avp. Default 5000 bytes.
+# long-avp-len = 5000;
+

+#######################
+# Configuration of the extension behavior
+
+# The mode for the extension.
+# - server: Answer incoming requests. The signal is ignored.
+# - client: Send a request when the signal is received, and measure the time to receiving answer.
+# - both: acts as client and server
+# mode = both;
+
+# The behavior can be changed by specifying additional "benchmark;" keyword.
+# When this keyword appears, it changes the behavior as follow:
+#  - server is silent on message reception, only the activity summary is displayed every 30 seconds
+#  - client attempts to send as many messages as possible during 10 seconds and counts them.
+# The benchmark keyword can be followed optionally by two integers:
+#   duration is the time for the measurement, in seconds (default 10).
+#   concurrency is the number of messages that can be on the wire before waiting for an answer (default 100).
+# benchmark [duration concurrency];
+

+#######################
+# Client-specific configuration
+
+# The Destination-Realm for the message
+# (default is sending to same realm as local peer).
+# dest-realm = "foreign.net";
+
+# The Destination-Host for the message.
+# (default is not providing this AVP).
+# dest-host = "server.foreign.net";
+
+# The User-Name for the message (may be useful for some routing tests).
+# (default is not providing this AVP).
+# user-name = "user@server.foreign.net";
+
+# The signal that triggers sending the test message
+# Note: Symbolic names are not recognized, you must use integers
+# signal = 10;
