[Update8 - New PCRF from Telcordia] PCRF - DPI Compatibility Matrix

  

I am updating the table with Telcordia's today's announcement of a PCRF product - Telcordia® Bandwidth Manager.

"Our Bandwidth Manager is a converged Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), software-based solution that integrates with your network to define and enforce bandwidth-related rules on a per subscriber basis. It allows you to hyper-customize how you deliver broadband services to meet any market need or demand"

The press release quotes Sheryl Kingstone, Director, Enterprise Research group, Yankee Group: "The availability of Telcordia Bandwidth Manager is timely for CSPs as they strive to find more creative ways to price their data and application services, while also satisfying demand for wireless broadband connections. Now operators can better monetize their network through specialized pricing plans coupled with managed bandwidth consumption to provide differentiated customer experience."

Unfortunately, I can't find any statement of compliance or interoperability with DPI or any other network elements, as expected from PCRF products.
