Abstract:

   This document defines optional ECN and filter related attributes that

   can be used for improved traffic identification, support of ECN and

   minimized filter administration within Diameter.

   RFC 5777 defines a Filter-Rule AVP that accommodates extensions for

   classification, conditions and actions. It does not support traffic

   identification for packets using Explicit Congestion Notification as

   defined in RFC 3168 and does not provide specific actions when the

   flow(s) described by the Filter-Rule are congested.

   A Filter-Rule can describe multiple flows but not the exact number of

   flows. Flow count and other associated data (e.g. packets) is not

   captured in Accounting applications, leaving administrators without

   useful information regarding the effectiveness or understanding of

   the filter definition.

   These optional attributes are forward and backwards compatible with

   RFC 5777.
