Traffic Classification and Quality of Service (QoS)
Attributes for Diameter
Abstract
This document defines a number of Diameter attribute-value pairs
(AVPs) for traffic classification with actions for filtering and
Quality of Service (QoS) treatment. These AVPs can be used in
existing and future Diameter applications where permitted by the
Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) specification of the respective
Diameter command extension policy.
