Diameter AVP to MDC Data Type Mapping
When you add AVPs to your default configuration, they must be mapped to MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) fields that have the correct data type for the AVP data.
AVP to MDC Data Type Mapping lists the Diameter AVP types and the MDC field data types to which they can be mapped. Diameter Gateway performs this mapping automatically. When converting a string to a numeric data type, it stops converting on any non-numeric character. For example, a UTF8-string 123ABC is converted to the numeric value 123.
