AVPs
Certain AVPs are applicable in only one direction, while others are applicable to both directions.
AVPs sent by the 7750 SR are used to:
-
inform the PCRF of the host creation/termination and the subscriber host identity in the 7750 SR
-
inform the PCRF of the functionality supported in the 7750 SR
-
report specific events related to the subscriber-host
-
report the status of the rules
-
report usage monitoring
-
report status of the host (existent/non-existent)
AVPs sent by PCRF toward the 7750 SR are used to:
-
install or activate policies
-
request usage monitoring
-
terminate the subscriber-host
-
request status of the subscriber-host (existent/non-existent)
AVPs that apply to both directions are used for base Diameter functionality such as peering establishment, routing of the Diameter messages, session identification and reporting of catastrophic failures (OSI change).
