Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for smart buffering for a policy resolution and policy enforcement system. The invention can be applied to a communication system with one or several available communication network(s). The trigger events and policy actions form input and output buffers to be processed in the invention. Causal relationships between the trigger events and policy actions are stored. Priorities can be set to the trigger events and policy actions. Sorting is made according to priorities. The buffer data can be scheduled, in other words delayed, in order to rationalize the policy management. The buffer data is combined if several trigger events affect the same target or quantity. The buffer data is filtered in the last step in order to simplify chained trigger events. The trigger events of filtered input buffer are sent to the policy resolution mechanism and the policy actions of filtered output buffer are sent to the policy action enforcement.
