Modified: for 9.2.3



The SBC Core's SIP trunk group signaling configuration is enhanced to include a parameter, generateOrReplacePCV, to relay or generate a P-Charging-Vector (PCV) header, depending upon the terminating and originating Inter-Operator Identifier (IOI) values sent in the PCV header.

Use the parameter, generateOrReplacePCV,  to specify the term-IOI and orig-IOI identifiers, as well as enable/disable the option to relay or generate a PCV header using the configured values. By default, this feature is disabled. 

  • If the generateOrReplacePCV flag is enabled, the SBC either replaces the term-IOI and orig-IOI values in a PCV header (if present) with the provisioned values, or generates the missing PCV header term-IOI and orig-IOI from the incoming message with the provisioned values. 
  • If the sendPCVHeader flag is enabled on an SBC trunk, the SBC sends the PCV header in the outgoing message. If the flag is disabled, the SBC does not add the PCV header to the outgoing message.
