Diameter 64bit Avp manipulation
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with fast, efficient ways to manipulate 64bit binary numbers on Bigip 11.3? Specifically I'm looking to do the following:
- Convert 64 bit binary to decimal
- Add two 64 bit binary numbers together with no conversion.(rather than converting to decimal, adding, then converting back)
- Convert a decimal to 64 bit binary.
Any help would be much appreciated.

this might not answer all your questions or not the best approach but it is what I used in the past
to read 64bit binary, first read it as octetstring, then use binary scan to get its value
set ccoutputoctets [DIAMETER::avp data get 414 octet source $usedserviceunit]
binary scan $ccoutputoctets W output
to format value into 64 bit binary, first, use binary format to create octetstring, then create avp from the octetstring.
set ccoutputoctets [DIAMETER::avp create 414 0 1 0 0 [binary format W 1048576]]
You read my mind! This is exactly what I was trying to do.. thanks for the help!
