Filter forward/drop (ingress and egress)

This action is used to control traffic flow within a PCC rule by using ALU specific AVP. PCC rules are utilizing filters and QoS policies as distinct building blocks. This action within a PCC rule creates an IP or IPv6 filter entry with an action forward or drop.

The CLI equivalent follows:

config>filter
    ip-filter | ipv6-filter <id> create
        entry <id> create
            match
                <5-tuple | dscp>
            exit
            action
                forward | drop
            exit
        exit
    exit

The generic Gx directive for filter forward/drop is implemented through ALU specific AVP:

Charging-Rule-Install ::= <AVP Header: 1001>
    Charging-Rule-Definition <AVP Header: 1003>
        Charging-Rule-Name <AVP Header: 1005>
            Alc-Filter-Action = Forward (1) <AVP Header: 1027>               
            Alc-Filter-Action = Drop (2)
