DYNAMIC SERVICE ACTIVATION USING COPS-PR TO SUPPORT OUTSOURCING AND CONFIGURATION MODELS FOR POLICY CONTROL

摘要

A device may include a service activation engine (SAE) including: a policy information base (PIB) file that defines a plurality of attachments that correspond to a plurality of network policies; and a server. The server may receive a request, using common open policy service for policy provisioning (COPS-PR), for a network service related to an interface handle associated with a subscriber device; determine which ones of the network policies correspond to the network service; and send, using COPS-PR, a provisioning instance (PRI) including a first of the attachments to implement the ones of the network policies to the interface handle based on the attachments.
