Policy Controller Protocol Reference

Diameter Rx Command Codes Supported by Policy Controller

Table 5-1 lists the Diameter Rx messages that Policy Controller uses to communicate with the Application Functions.

Table 5-1 Diameter Rx Messages Supported

Message	Command Code	Application Function Initiates?	Policy Controller Initiates?
AA- Request (AAR)	265, 'R' bit set	Yes	No

Gx Command Codes Supported by Policy Controller

Table 5-2 lists the Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs) used by Policy Controller for PCEF-AF traffic.

Application-ID: 16777238

Policy Controller acts as a Diameter Server; PCEF is client which requests PCC rules.
