CSCug41145 - QoS eARP - H & M configuration configuration on GGSN/PGW
Feature Changes
QoS eARP: Support for Configuration of H & M Values
When E-ARP is not supported by the SGSN, it is required to convert Gx ARP-AVP to UMTS ARP value and vice
versa. This conversion of ARP value is done as per the table in section B.3.3.3.1 and B.3.3.3.2 of 3GPP TS 29.212.

‘H’ (high priority) and ‘M’ (medium priority) values in these tables are now configurable. In previous release, the
values for H and M were hard coded.

Customer Impact: This feature ensures proper treatment of users with higher priority level information, and provides
the operator greater control of the end-to-end QoS eARP.
