Usage Guidelines
The CSG2 allows you to define a pool of up to 1024 services. You can authorize, for each subscriber,
any number of services from that pool, but we recommend that the billing system not authorize more
than 10 active services for each subscriber. Exceeding this guideline could lead to the following
problems:
•
The increase in the number of quota authorizations per subscriber can overload both the quota server
and the CSG2.
•
As the number of services for which a subscriber is actively authorized increases, the subscriber’s
quota becomes fragmented. Although the CSG2 allows the billing system to recall and redistribute
the quota so that the subscriber is not denied service because of quota fragmentation, the process
increases overhead in both the quota server and the CSG2.
The CSG2 supports multiple protocols under a single service definition.
The characteristics of each content billing service are defined by the following commands:
•
•
•
•
service-name
Name of the content billing service, which is a component of a billing plan
that is subscribed to by subscribers. The name can be from 1 to 16
characters long, is not case-sensitive, and can include uppercase or
lowercase letters (the CSG2 changes all letters to uppercase), numbers, and
any special characters.
