Description
This attribute is for setting the prepaid accounting capability.
The optional Available-In-Client Sub-Type, generated by the PrePaid client, indicates the
PrePaid Accounting capabilities of the client in the PDSN or HA and shall be bitmap
encoded.
The optional Selected-For-Session Sub-Type, generated by the PrePaid server, indicates the
PrePaid Accounting capability to be used for a given session.
This attribute specifies the characteristics for PrePaid accounting of the volume and/or
duration of a packet data session. It shall be present in all on-line RADIUS Access-Request
and on-line RADIUS Access-Accept messages and may be included in other RADIUS
Access-Accept messages. Non-used Sub-Types by the PPC and PPS shall be omitted.
The Quota-Identifier Sub-Type is generated by the PrePaid server at allocation of a Volume
and/or Duration Quota. The on-line quota update RADIUS Access-Request message sent
from the PPC to the PPS shall include a previously received Quota-Identifier.
The optional Volume-Quota Sub-Type is only present if Volume Based charging is used. In
RADIUS Access-Accept message (PPS to PPC direction), it indicates the Volume (in octets)
allocated for the session by the PrePaid server. In on-line RADIUS Access-Request message
(PPC to PPS direction), it indicates the total used volume (in octets) for both forward and
reverse traffic applicable to PrePaid accounting13. If a Tariff Switch condition was reached
during the session, this Sub-Type contains the complete (before and after) volume used,
while the Volume-Used-After-Tariff-Switch attribute contains the volume used after the
tariff switch condition.
The optional Volume-Quota-Overflow Sub-Type is used to indicate how many times the
Volume-Quota counter has wrapped around 2^32 over the course of the service being
provided.
The Volume-Threshold Sub-Type shall always be present if Volume-Quota is present in a
RADIUS Access-Accept message (PPS to PPC direction). It is generated by the PrePaid
server and indicates the volume (in octets) that shall be used before requesting quota update.
This threshold should not be larger than the Volume-Quota.
The optional Volume-Threshold-Overflow Sub-Type is used to indicate how many times the
Volume-Threshold counter has wrapped around 2^32 over the course of the service being
provided.
The optional Duration-Quota Sub-Type is only present if Duration Based charging is used.
In RADIUS Access-Accept message (PPS to PPC direction), it indicates the Duration (in
seconds) allocated for the session by the PrePaid server. In on-line RADIUS Access-Accept
message (PPC to PPS direction), it indicates the total Duration (in seconds) since the start of
the accounting session related to the Quota-ID.
