PCC-Policy-Service Configuration Mode Commands


PCC-Policy-Service Configuration Mode Commands
 
The PCC-Policy-Service Configuration mode provides a mechanism for the Intelligent Policy Control Function (IPCF) to manage the external interfaces required for policy authorization purpose between IPCF and PCEF Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function (BBERF). The PCC-Policy-Service manages Gx/Gx based on the Diameter dictionary used.
note_smallImportant: This configuration mode is supported from StarOS Release 12.1 onward.
