All of the parameter associated with defining ADC Rules are listed below. ADC (Application Detection and Control) Rules define parameters that enable the detection of a Traffic data used in conjunction with the TDF (Traffic Detection Function) and the Sd reference point interface currently available in the DRA Nodal Test Case.

|
NOTE: When Map Rules Set to APN is enabled, each rule set must be mapped to an APN. A combination of PDP type and APN identifies a unique rule set |
IPv6 /
|
The APN and Policy Rules mapping table is available for each PDP type: IPv4, IPv6, and Dual Stack. The number of rows in each table corresponds to a PDP type and is always synchronized with the number of rule sets for that PDP type.
|
A maximum of 1024 rule sets are supported. Each rule set can have up to 8 charging rules, each charging rule can have up to 8 rule definitions, and each rule definition can have up to 16 packet filters. These Policy Rules are available for each PDP type: IPv4, IPv6, and dual stack.
NOTE: In DRA Nodal test case, the number maximum number of PCC Rule Sets, Charging Rules, and Rules Definitions depends on your system license. |
Number of Rules Set | The Number of Rules Set define the maximum number of the Rules Set for an IP Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) bearer or service flow. A Rule Set is associated with a maximum of 8 Charging Rules, which is associated with a maximum of 8 Rule Definitions.

AVP Database Size |
Indicates the AVP size allocated for charging rules packet flow descriptors and allows you to define the database memory to run AVP packets. DB Size (bytes) has been added to the VSA/AVP configuration window. This is the value the AVP Database estimator calculates that is required for the AVP Database size. It should be used when determining the size of the AVP Database Size in Bytes. Range: 0 — 4000 Default: 200 Tcl Parameter: SdCcAvpData_1 Type: True/False |

|
Deactivation Times (s) |
Enter the Activation Time to indicate number of seconds to wait before sending revalidation Rule-Set to the mapped APN. Default: 120 seconds Enter the Deactivation Time to indicate the number of seconds to wait before deactivating the currently installed Rule-Set mapped to the APN. Default: 240 seconds Tcl Parameter: Array
Activation/Deactivation Time is calulated as follows.
Activation/Deactivation Time = User Configured Local Time + Activation/Deactivation Time
Activation/Deactivation Time = User Configured Local Time + (Interval * Counter) + Activation/Deactivation Time Where, Counter is 0 <= Counter < X Times |

The rule definitions along with the associated Policy Rule parameters form part of the PCC Charging Rule.
NOTE: In DRA Nodal test case, the number maximum number of ADC Rule Sets, Charging Rules, and Rules Definitions depends on you on your system license. |
