X-Header Insertion

Extension header (X-header) fields are fields that are added to protocol headers for specific purposes such as user identification, device detection, etc. The X-header mechanism allows additional entity-header fields to be defined without changing the protocol. However, these fields are assumed to be unrecognizable by the recipients.

X-header insertion inserts X-headers in HTTP or WSP GET and POST Request packets and HTTP Response packets. You can configure rules to insert X-headers in HTTP or WSP Request and HTTP Response packets. The charging-action associated with the rules contain the list of X-headers to be inserted in the packets.

Note
  • Flows for which the X-header is inserted in a packet are not offloaded.

  • With the X-header configuration, all TCP OOO packets irrespective of transmit order CLI, will be buffered and sent after re-ordering.
