  • String in a message body
  • Parameter value
  • Presence or absence of a parameter

 supports creating a SIP adaptor profile designated for the flexible policy mechanism. This flexiblePolicyAdapterProfile profile is provisioned and attached to either/both the ingress Trunk Group or Ingress Zone. If flexiblePolicyAdapterProfile is provisioned both at the trunk group and zone, the trunk group’s profile takes precedence. If inputAdapterProfile is configured, it is applied first to manipulate the PDU and then flexiblePolicyAdapterProfile rules are applied on the manipulated PDU.

flexible policy rules on received SIP messages to store information in variables. These variables are then passed to PSX over the Diameter+ interface in a policy request message.

The PSX uses the received information contained in these variables as a part of its enhanced Routing and Policy decision making. Refer to PSX documentation for additional details.
