4.1. <AuthBy DiaPCRF> Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

A DiaPCRF clause defines PCRF which handles Diameter Gx requests originated by a PCEF running on a GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node), PDN GW (Packet Data Network Gateway), or other gateway.
The PCRF in Radiator has been designed to be modular and uses a number of modules to process the Diameter Gx and Rx messages, fetch and update information in the SPR, store Gx and Rx session information. These modules are configured with separate clauses and referenced by their identifier from <AuthBy DiaPCRF> clause.
A number of hooks are defined to customise the action when, for example, usage monitoring thresholds are reached, quota runs out or quota is used for the first time. The operators are encouraged to develop their own functions and Perl modules to handle the different events.
