The use of the Gy interface (SMF acting as CTF towards an OCS node) is
mandated through configuration file. Default value "enable: auto" will
only make use of it in case a Diameter peer announcing support for the
Credit-Control Application is found.
Upon subscriber session creation, and after auth check over Gx, the SMF
will create a Gy session with the OCS and only after that step the SMF
will accept the session back to the subscriber.
The OCS may then grant some traffic volumes/time and ask to be notified
back with updated measurements.
In order to get the measurements, the SMF relies on PFCP URR configured
to the UPF through Session Repoort Request messages.
When closing the subscriber session, the SMF will also terminate the Gy
session at the OCS.
So far only some specifics parts of the Gy interface as well as the PFCP
side are implemented. Those should be enough to at least have
volume/time thresholds granted by the OCS, which then will be able to
track subsriber resource use.
This patch doesn't implement the OCS side of the Gy interface, that's
left as a future exercise. The interface was tested using an OCS
emulator implemented in TTCN-3 [1]

* Fix conversion from IPFilterRule to packet filter
As per 3GPP TS 24.008, following Packet filter component type identifier
are not supported on the LTE pre release-11 UEs:
IPv4 local address type
IPv6 remote address/prefix length type
IPv6 local address/prefix length type
And,
IPv6 remote address/prefix length type and
IPv6 local address/prefix length type shall be used when both MS and
Network support Local Address in TFTs.
This commit add logic to omit adding local address in packet filters
for compatibility with pre-release LTE 11 devices. The following parameter
could be used to toggle omit/no to omit behavior.
parameter:
no_ipv4v6_local_addr_in_packet_filter: <true/false>
* Remove logic of supporting pre-release LTE 11 devices in PCRF
The configuration has changed. PFCP node rr=0 is removed as shown below.
sgwc:
pfcp
rr: 0 <-- Removed
Introduced a new configuration method for SMF/SGW-C
parameter:
no_pfcp_rr_select: true
By default, PFCP round robin selection is allowed.
The above parameters prohibit selecting PFCP in a round robin manner.
If parameter.ignore_requsted_nssai is true,
AMF will ignore the UE Requested NSSAI and create an allowed-NSSAI
based on the Default S-NSSAI in the Subscription DB.
* Flow-Description use 'to assigned' in Gx Interface
* Support SDF Filter ID
* Support F-TEID's Choose
* BAR(Buffering) is added in PFCP session
* Default Apply Action uses NOCP|BUFF
- Set the number of UEs in units of AMF/MME instead of gNB/eNB.
- See default value as shown below
Number of UEs per AMF/MME : 4,096
Number of gNB/eNB per AMF/MME : 32
* MME: select SGW by RR,TAC,ENB_ID
and enable round robin inside each option
* SMF: select PFCP associated UPF by RR,TAC,APN,ENB_ID
and enable round robin inside each option
