Associated with each SWVC is a list of named Policies that can be applied to Application Flows and Application Flow Groups at SWVC End Points (see section 9.3).

The value of this Service Attribute is a non-empty list of 2-tuples of the form  where:

• polName is an Identifier String that specifies the name of the Policy. polName cannot be “block”.
• polCL is a non-empty list of Policy Criteria 2-tuples, of the form  where:
  • PCName is an Identifier String containing a Policy Criterion name from Table 3, or a Service Provider-defined Policy Criterion name.
  • PCparam is a non-empty list of parameter values specific to the Policy Criterion specified in PCName.

[R1]                 A Policy name, polName, in the value of the SWVC List of Policies Service Attribute MUST appear, at most, once.

[R1]                 A Policy Criterion name, PCName, MUST appear, at most, once in each list of Policy Criteria, polCL, in the value of the SWVC List of Policies Service Attribute.

[D1]         The Policy Criteria listed in Table 3 SHOULD be supported for SWVCs.

Table 3 – Policy Criteria

The behavior of these Policy Criteria is described in subsequent sections.

[R1]                 If the Service Provider defines its own Policy Criteria, the PCNames chosen by the Service Provider MUST NOT be the same as any of the PCNames in
Table 3.

• The PCName
• The possible values for the Policy Criterion
• The behavior associated with each value
• The behavior of each value when used with INTERNET-BREAKOUT
• Any interactions that the Policy Criterion has with other Policy
  Criteria
