access request initialted by other sources than PEPs in COPS-PR

[Weilin Zeng <wzeng@ics.uci.edu>]

Hi,

    I encountered a problem when reading the COPS-PR. In Section 6(p27), the doc state that there is a case that access requests to the policy server can be initiated by other sources besides the PEPs. I think if the PEP don't initialize the request, the PDP cannot identify the PEP and cannot send the policy decision to PEP. Can anyone give me an explanation? Can this case be handled by COPS?

 

    Thanks
