ECS Enhancements for 17.0 ▀
Release Change Reference, StarOS Release 17 ▄
145
Important:
In this release, both Inheritance and the Override Control features will be supported. Note that both
these two features should not be enabled simultaneously.
The Gx interface is updated to include custom AVPs for the PCRF to send override values to P-GW. These override
values may be sent for a specific rule(s) or for charging action(s). In case the override values are sent for a charging
action, a rule or some of the rules may be excluded from using the override values by sending the rules names in the Gx
message. The override values will be check pointed and recovered in case of either standalone recovery or ICSR.
