CSCul09884, CSCuf90188 - ECSV2 Volume Usage support post ICSR
switchover
Applicable Products: GGSN, P-GW
Feature Changes
ICSR Support for VoRoGx
Previous Behavior: After the ICSR switchover, any existing session for which the PCRF has enabled volume reporting
used to continue indefinitely until the session is terminated or until CCR-U is sent for a given trigger, without having the
volume counted via Gx.
used to continue indefinitely until the session is terminated or until CCR-U is sent for a given trigger, without having the
volume counted via Gx.
To summarize, after an ICSR switchover, volume reporting over Gx is no longer done for existing sessions. Also,
volume usage is not synced to standby chassis.
volume usage is not synced to standby chassis.
New Behavior: Volume threshold and Volume usage are synced to standby chassis to support volume reporting over
Gx for existing sessions post switchover.
Gx for existing sessions post switchover.
Customer Impact: Without this support it cannot cause a subscriber to use higher speeds than what he is supposed to
get, if volume reporting is for example used to enforce fair usage; the operator may already consider this a revenue loss.
It will also severely impact roaming subscribers who are supposed to get a notification and be blocked/redirected once
the limits set by the EU roaming regulation are reached. If a session continues now without being blocked, the operator
is not allowed to charge for data beyond the limit and will have a significant and real revenue loss (roaming partner may
still charge for the data used on their SGSNs).
