Cisco GPRS Charging Profile Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.192.1.1.30

Charging characteristics is a parameter introduced in Release 99.Charging Characteristics allows the operator to apply different charging methods on a per PDP basis. Charging Characteristics is a 2-octet parameter: The first 4 bits of the first octet, the 'P' bits, is called the charging profile index. It specifies up to 16 different charging profiles. The remaining bits, the 'B' bits, can be used to further characterize the Charging behavior. Charging characteristics can be received from the SGSN as an IE in the create PDP request message or from locally defined defaults. There can be local default at the access-point or GGSN levels. At either level, there may be also different defaults for home, roaming, visiting subscribers, etc. This table allows to create a charging profile and define all the characteristics for that profile. This profile will be mapped to some APN.
