264

DiameterIdentifier

Configured value.

Origin-Realm

296

DiameterIdentifier

Configured value in CCR(Initial). For subsequent CCRs, the Origin-Realm received in the last CCA is used as the Destination-Realm.

Destination-Host

293

DiameterIdentifier

Not sent in the first CCR message. The Origin-Host in the CCA is used as Destination-Host in the next CCR message.

Auth-Application-Id

258

4

Value for DCCA.

CC-Request-Type

416

1 = Initial
2 = Update
3 = Final
4 = Event

Value 4 (Event) is not supported.

Monotonically increasing number

A value of "0" is used for CCR(Initial).

461

Cisco_3gpp_Gy
Gy DCCA implementation

Framed-IP-Address

8

IP address allocated for the user

 

Called-Station-Id

APN name (string)

 

User-Name

1

User name (string)

 

Event-Timestamp

55

Time when quota is requested

 

Subscription-Id

443

Grouped AVP

A grouped AVP consisting of the Subscription-Id-Type and Subscription-Id-Data AVPs. With Cisco GGSN Release 10.2, the option of including the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) AVP is supported by using the gprs dcca avp imsi grouped global configuration command.

Subscription-Id-Type

450

End_User-E164 (0)

 

Subscription-Id-Data

444

Mobile station ISDN (MSISDN) (string)

 

Termination-Cause

295

Integer value (as per RFC 3588)

Sent only in the CCR(Final) message.

Requested-Service-Unit

437

No value. An empty AVP will be present. Grouped AVP.

Sent only in the CCR(Initial) message.

Multiple-Services-
Indicator

455

MULTIPLE_SERVICES_SUPPORTED (1)

Sent only in the CCR(Initial) message.

Multiple-Services-Credit-
Control

456

Grouped AVP

There can be multiple instances of this attribute, one for each category.

Origin-State-Id

278

DCCA (4)

 

3GPP-CG-Address

4 / 10415

Active charging gateway address

0.0.0.0 is used if there is no active charging gateway.

3GPP-Charging-Id

2 / 10415

Charging ID of the primary packet data protocol (PDP) context

Because quota management is performed for a PDP session (not for each PDP context), the charging ID of the primary PDP context is used. However, if the primary PDP context is deleted before secondary PDP contexts, subsequent CCR messages use the charging ID of the first secondary PDP context.

3GPP-Charging-
Characteristics

13 / 10415

Charging characteristic received from a serving GPRS support node (SGSN)

An SGSN always sends this value for service-aware PDP context activations. This value must be sent to a Diameter server.

3GPP-GPRS-QoS-
Negotiated-Profile

5 / 10415

Negotiated quality of service (QoS) profile

The QoS profile of the primary PDP context is sent. However, if a primary PDP context is deleted before the secondary PDP contexts, then subsequent CCR messages contain the negotiated QoS of the first secondary PDP context.

3GPP-GGSN-Address

847 / 10415

GGSN IP address

 

3GPP-IMSI

1 / 10415

International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the user

 

3GPP-PDP-Type

3 / 10415

Type of PDP context (IPv4)

Only IPv4 PDP type is supported.

3GPP-Selection-Mode

12 / 10415

Selection mode received from SGSN

 

3GPP-SGSN-Address

1228 / 10415

Address of the signaling SGSN

 

3GPP-IMSI-MCC-MNC

8 / 10415

Mobile Country
Code (MCC) and Mobile network
Code (MNC) extracted from the IMSI

 

3GPP-GGSN-MCC-MNC

9 / 10415

MCC and MNC of the GGSN

 

3GPP-NSAPI

10 / 10415

Network Service Access Point
Identifier (NSAPI) of the PDP context

The NSAPI of the primary PDP context is sent. However, if the primary PDP context is deleted before the secondary PDP contexts, the NSAPI of the first secondary PDP context is used.

3GPP-Session-Stop-
Indicator

11 / 10415

"FF"

Only present in the CCR(Final) message.

Context-Type

1247 / 10415

PRIMARY (0)

For secondary PDPs contexts, no CCR is sent. therefore, the Context-Type AVP is sent only in CCR(Initial).

User-Location-
Information

267 / 12645

Cell Global Identification (CGI) is used as geographic location type. Only the Routing Area
Identify (RAI) is available from an SGSN, and this is sent. L2TP access concentrator (LAC) and CI fields are sent as FF.

MCC-MNC extracted from RAI is sent.

Supported only for VF-CLCI specific implementation.

Radio-Access-Technology

260 / 12645

Radio-Access-Technology (RAT) is an enumerated type indicating: UTRAN (1), GERAN (2), and WLAN (3).

Sent only in CCR.

Supported only for VF-CLCI specific implementation.

User-Equipment-Info

458

Grouped AVP

Allows the credit-control client to indicate the identity and capability of the terminal the subscriber is using for the connection to network.

Contains User-Equipment-Info-Type and User-Equipment-Info-Value AVPs.

PS-Information

874

Grouped AVP

Allows the transmission of additional packet switched (PS) service specific information elements.

3GPP-MS-TimeZone

23

Indicates the offset between universal time and local time in steps of 15 minutes of where the MS currently resides.
