A method and system for managing online charging sessions is provided. The method includes: establishing a subscriber data session on a network; establishing a connection with an initial online charging system; detecting a condition change in the subscriber data session; determining whether the condition change is associated with a change in the online charging system; if the condition change is associated with a change in the online charging system, determining a new online charging system; terminating the connection to the initial online charging system while maintaining the subscriber data session; and establishing a connection with the new online charging system; otherwise continuing the session with the initial online charging system. The system includes a control plane engine and is operatively connected to a policy charging enforcement function.

System and method for managing online charging sessions

A method for managing traffic detection including: receiving predetermined traffic monitoring conditions; processing at least one packet to determine packet properties; determining an application identifier to associate with the traffic flow based on the packet properties; determining at least one policy to apply to the traffic flow based on the traffic monitoring conditions, packet properties and the application identifier; and communicating the at least one policy to be applied to the traffic flow. A system including: a traffic detection function (TDF) configured to receive predetermined traffic monitoring conditions, wherein the TDF includes: a processor configured to process at least one packet to determine packet properties; and a control engine configured to: determine an application identifier to associated with the flow; determine at least one policy to apply to the flow based on the traffic monitoring conditions, the packet properties and application identifier; and communicate the at least one policy.
