Reference
Documents under this category include information about the attributes, APIs, interfaces, and the full set of CLI commands supported by the MAG-c.
- CLI Reference
  This guide describes all CLI commands and their supported values and parameters.

  - Getting started
    Find general information about this guide.
  - Introduction to PFCP and CUPS concepts
    The interfaces between the MAG-c and the BNG-UP that are related to PFCP are the SCi, CPRi, Sx, N4, Sx-u, and N4-u interfaces. Get a brief overview of those interfaces and of general CUPS and BNG concepts, including PFCP association and path, PFCP session, and PDR.
  - Forwarding between MAG-c and BNG-UP
    The forwarding of control plane messages is in-band and sent using an IBCP tunnel.
  - Session handling
    A PFCP session is set up to control the creation, modification, and deletion of a bundle of PDRs. There is a single PFCP session per connected device.
  - PFCP protocol
    The core of session management is the PFCP protocol as defined in 3GPP TS 29.244, with BNG-specific extensions defined in BBF TR-459.
  - PFCP messages

PFCP Interface Description

This guide describes the applicability of PFCP for fixed broadband access and the extensions to the protocol. The PFCP interface serves as the control layer between the BNG-UP and the MAG-c. The PFCP interface is designed to handle all dynamic states. The interface creates packet matching rules and corresponding QoS, usage reporting and monitoring, and packet action parameters.
