Question: What is the implication for the PCRF when the Mute-Notification AVP with a value of MUTE_REQUIRED (0) is used in a solicited application reporting scenario for a specific PCC Rule?
Option 1: The PCRF will receive immediate notifications for all application starts/stops, bypassing standard reporting intervals.
Option 2: The PCRF and PCEF will engage in a keep-alive signaling to ensure connectivity for potential future updates.
Option 3: The PCEF will buffer application start/stop events temporarily before sending a batch update to the PCRF.
Option 4: The PCEF will not send notifications to the PCRF when the specified application starts or stops, for the particular PCC rule(s) in question.
Explanation: This is because the Mute-Notification AVP with a value of MUTE_REQUIRED (0) explicitly instructs the PCEF to refrain from informing the PCRF about detected application start/stop events for the specific PCC rule(s), but only in scenarios where solicited application reporting is utilized, allowing for selective suppression of notifications and potentially reducing signaling load.
