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

Weilin,

 

My understanding is that, for example, a PDP, may receive a RSVP signal from a SIP RS and transmit an unsolicited DEC due to this external event.  The SIP RS would provide the PEPID.  List, please correct me if I have misunderstood.

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

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
