| Fields (* indicates required field) | Description | Data Input Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule Name | A unique name for the PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule assigned by the network operator. | Format: Text box; string 1-32 characters, must start with an upper or lower case letter, and can contain digits and underscores; maximum number of Sub-Pool Selection Rules is of 70 Range: Valid name |
| Priority | A priority value. The priority value is used to break ties when more than one PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule matches a given binding-capable session initiation request. Multiple rules can match a request when more than one rule using a "Starts With" or "Ends With" condition exists. | Format: Text box Range: 1-99, inclusive, where a lower value equates to a higher priority Default: 50 |
| PCRF Pool Name | The PCRF Pool that is being subdivided by this PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule. A pulldown menu contains the names of all available PCRF Pools. The PCRF Pool does not need to have any APN mapped to it when this PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule is created. This field is a hyper-link to the PCRF Pools view screen, filtered by the PCRF Pool name. | Format: Dropdown menu Range: Configured PCRF Pools that have not been specified as PCRF Sub-Pool Names |
| Conditions | A condition allows for configuration of a value to be compared to a given Diameter AVP using the specified operator. The only condition currently supported for PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rules is for the Origin-Host AVP. The value field allows you to enter a string to be compared to the Origin-Host using the operator. | Format: Textbox Range: Equals, Starts With, and Ends With. |
| PCRF Sub-Pool Name | The PCRF Sub-Pool name that is used for routing new bindings created from binding-capable session initiation requests that matched this PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rule. A match occurs when the APN in the request mapped to the PCRF Pool in the rule AND the Origin-Host condition matched. This field is a hyper-link to the PCRF Pools view screen, filtered by the PCRF Sub-Pool name. | Format: Hyperlink Range: Assigned PCRF Sub-Pool Name |
| Last Updated | The PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rules view page also includes a timestamp of the time the rule was created or last updated, whichever occurred most recently. This field can help you troubleshoot by allowing comparison of existing binding session creation time stamps (displayed using the binding key query tool) with rule creation time stamps. Use this capability to determine whether a binding was created before or after a rule was created | Format: Read-only field Range: N/A |
