METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE FUNCTIONING OF A TAXATION CHAIN BY SETTING UP A MULTI-LEVEL DEGRADE MODE

摘要

Method and device for reliability of the services rendered by a network using a centralized charging server to authorize the use of a service offered by the network comprising two levels: the first in the control layer (2) by a software element monitoring the absence of response of the charging layer (3) of the charging server to a request from the control layer (2) within a determined period of time enabling a backup event to be triggered when there is no response from the charging layer (3) if the network between the control layer and the network layer is unavailable, the second implemented in the front layer of the charging server and remarkable in that it comprises the following steps: - monitoring the availability of a dorsal layer of the charging layer (3) from its response to a request of the front layer within a specified time, - execution of a backup policy by a front layer of the charging layer (3) in case of unavailability of the backbone of the charging server (3), - preparation at the end of the use of the representative elements of the usage, - storage of these representative elements of the usage made.
