Instruct the audience for achieving high throughput online exports of charged events with in-memory data only.

In this talk Teo will present the mechanisms implemented to achieve straight in-memory processing with online exports for events to be charged by CGRateS, without the need for further storing them. Following CGRateS modules will be covered: ERs, SessionS, CDRs, RALs, AttributeS, EEs. CGRateS is a battle-tested Enterprise Billing Suite with support for various prepaid and postpaid billing modes.

In this talk, Teo will explain how you can use CGRateS as an ENUM server together with other subsystems to achieve advanced ENUM functionality as number portability or least cost routing. CGRateS is a battle-tested Enterprise Billing Suite with support for various prepaid and postpaid billing modes.

In this talk, Teo will explain how you can use CGRateS as an ENUM server together with other subsystems to achieve advanced ENUM functionality as number portability or least cost routing. As part of the recipe for such implementation, there will be few major CGRateS components exemplified: AttributeService ( combined with FilterService) which will be used to replace data from events arrives in CGRateS based on filters and SupplierService which can be used to select your desired provider based on different strategies such as least cost, highest cost, weight, load distribution or a mixed ( in case a two providers have the same cost if supplier was configured it can fall through on weight strategy automatically) CGRateS is a battle-tested Enterprise Billing Suite with support for various prepaid and postpaid billing modes.

Traffic transparency and ability to react on pattern changes became more than a nice to have functionality in modern communication infrastructure. In this talk Teo will explore various mechanisms implemented in the new ThresholdS module of CGRateS, focusing not only on improving QoS stats but also towards securing networks with automatic reaction profiles against fraud attempts.

Traffic transparency and ability to react to pattern changes became more than a nice to have functionality in modern communication infrastructure. ThresholdS module within CGRateS offers the ability to monitor generic events in real-time and react when preset thresholds are hit. As reactions, one can set notifications via HTTP or AMQP or CGRateS accounts related top-ups, debits or complete account deactivation. The events can be injected into ThresholdS via simple RPC (ie: JSON-RPC over socket), contributing to easy integration from external systems. In case of the high amount of events received in a short time, ThresholdS will absorb them via built-in DoS protection and only react on predefined intervals or number of events. All these characteristics make ThresholdS an ideal candidate as a standalone component (without involving additional billing subsystems within CGRateS) for fraud detection and mitigation.
