Match criteria consists of any combination of the following parameters:
the source/destination IP address and port/port-list, or IP-prefix list
application name
application group name
charging group name
one or more ASO characteristic and value pairs
direction of traffic (subscriber-to-network, network-to-subscriber, or both, or spoke SDP)
DSCP name
AA subscriber (ESM, DSM, or transit subscriber, SAP or spoke SDP)
ip-protocol-num field, which when used in AQP matches allows more precise control of match criteria; for example, to specify port or IP address matches specifically for either TCP or for UDP.
subscriber tethering state
AQP entries with match criteria that exclusively use any combination of ASO characteristic and values, direction of traffic, and AA subscriber define default policies. All other AQP entries define application aware policies. Both default and application aware policies. Until a flow's application is identified only default policies can be applied.
