Base QoS-policy and base filter

Subscriber host must have an explicit static (or base) filter or qos-policy before any dynamic entries can be inserted via Gx. For example, a base filter/qos-policy can be referenced by a sla-profile when the subscriber is instantiated. However, the parameters in the base qos-policy and base filter cannot be modified via Gx.

In the absence of explicitly defined qos-policy for the subscriber host, the default qos-policy 1 is in effect. Then, PCC rules with a QoS-related action cannot be applied.

PCC rule entries can be inserted in specifically allocated range in the base filter or qos-policy. The insertion point is controlled by the operator. This is shown in Figure: Static and dynamic QoS-policy/filter entries. The entries reserved for PCC rules start at the beginning of the range specified by the following CLI command:

sub-insert-shared-pccrule start-entry <entry-id> count <count> 

under the following CLI hierarchy:

config>filter>ip-filter>
config>filter>ipv6-filter
config>qos>sap-ingress>
config>qos>sap-egress>

An entry corresponds to a Flow-Information AVP and is equivalent to a match condition defined as any combination of the following parameters under a filter or qos-policy ip-criteria:

Such defined entry maps into a single CAM entry with exception of port range configured as match criteria whereby a single port range command can expand into multiple CAM entries.

Static entries in filter/qos-policy can be inserted before and after the range reserved for PCC rules.
