Specific Action AVP support

When acting as a P-CSCF, Oracle Communications Session Border Controller sends the Specific-Action AVP to the PCRF in an AAR message to indicate the subscription types it supports.

The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller can be configured to subscribe to one or more of the following subscription types:

• LOSS OF BEARER
• RECOVERY OF BEARER
• RELEASE OF BEARER
• OUT OF CREDIT
• SUCCESSFUL RESOURCES ALLOCATION
• FAILED RESOURCES ALLOCATION

When no subscription types are configured, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller does not include the Specific-Action AVP in its AAR.

Specific Action AVP subscription is configured in the Specific action subscription parameter located in the External policy server configuration element.
