MARBEN DiamX Java Stack v3.0 Components Overview

New Diameter Interfaces

3GPP Zpn
is the interface between the BSF and the NAF for Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA) push procedure. It is used to retrieve the GPI, key material and possibly user security settings data by NAF from BSF.
3GPP Gxx
is the interface lying between the Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF) and the Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function (BBERF). It is used for:
  • Provisioning, update and removal of QoS rules from the PCRF to the BBERF,
  • Transmission of traffic plane events from the BBERF to the PCRF,
  • Transmission of events reported by the PCEF to the BBERF via the PCR.
Service Charging Application Protocol (SCAP)
is a vendor-specific application that adds AVPs to the Diameter Base Protocol's accounting commands (ACR/ACA).
