CLI
Applicable Products: P-GW
Feature Changes
Charging for Retransmissions Under Rulebase or Service Level CLI
Currently, whether retransmission should be charged or not is decided at three distinct places —at the charging action
level, at the rulebase level, and at the service level. At the charging action level, the CLI “
level, at the rulebase level, and at the service level. At the charging action level, the CLI “
retransmissions-
counted
” signifies that retransmitted packet bytes or packet counts are to be considered for charging for whichever
charging module the charging action specifies. At the rulebase, the CLI “
edr sn-charge-volume count-
retransmitted-units
” signifies that retransmissions are to be counted in charging edrs. At the service level, the CLI
“
policy-control retransmissions-counted
” controls the charging of retransmitted packets that match a
dynamic rule. Due to this, the counts for the flow and the secondary bucket get added and this introduces lot of
processing.
processing.
A new CLI “
retransmissions-counted
” is introduced at rulebase. This CLI retransmissions are counted for all the
charging modules. Thus, this CLI overrides the CLI at the charging action as well as the CLI affecting the
retransmissions. Also, the default mode for the newly added CLI enables charging of the retransmissions in the old
manner ensuring backward compatibility.
