Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing rating, charging and policy control of multipath communication services. In operation, a system receives a first communication from at least one first network element associated with at least one communication network. The system receives a second communication from at least one second network element associated with the at least one communication network. The system identifies information in the at least one first communication and/or the at least one second communication associated with a plurality of sub-flows being utilized in association with the communication. The system correlates the information in the at least one first communication and the at least one second communication associated with the plurality of sub-flows. Moreover, the system implements rating, charging, and policy control for a single connection instead of treating each sub-flow as an independent connection.
