PDN Gateway Overview
Gx Interface
This signalling interface supports the transfer of policy control and charging rules information (QoS) between the Policy
and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) on the P-GW and a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) server
(3GPP TS 23.401).
Supported protocols:
Transport Layer: TCP, SCTP
Network Layer: IPv4, IPv6
Data Link Layer: ARP
Physical Layer: Ethernet
