The population of AVPs for Sentinel SIP is described on this page. A definition of the AVPs used for the Sentinel Express product is provided on Sentinel AVP definitions.
Detecting Online Charging
The OC-Charging-Result AVP in a CDR indicates whether online (Diameter Ro) charging was used for a session. This may be used to determine if further action is needed when processing CDRs offline.
-
An
OC-Charging-Resultvalue of-1means that online charging was not used for the session. -
Otherwise the value is set to the Diameter
Result-CodeAVP value.
Populated AVPs in the Multiple-Services-Credit-Control AVP
The Multiple-Services-Credit-Control AVP is of type grouped, and is defined in RFC 4006. Section 7.1.4 of 3GPP TS 32.299 defines it with additional 3GPP specific parameters and states some IETF parameters are not used in the 3GPP.
