<p>The present invention provides a policy decision function and multiple policy enforcement functions to handle mass session events. The policy decision function may receive policy parameters related to the mass session event from the application, the policy enforcement functions, or other network entities, and determine a session policy for the mass session event based on the policy parameters and perhaps other predefined policy rules. Policy information corresponding to the policy established for the mass session event is then sent to the policy enforcement functions, which will take the necessary steps to implement the policy for the mass session event based on the policy information received. The policy enforcement functions may monitor traffic parameters in the through traffic, wherein the traffic parameters help to identify traffic associated with the mass session event.</p> |
