Does the qer map config affect really the service perfomance in the UE

[piktaka]

I hope you're doing great , I have a question about the qermap and the entries that it include , like each element has "max_bitrate_ul" and ,
"max_bitrate_dl" , which I did try to modify them and try a speedtest using iperf3 , the result tells that there is no changing in the bitrate in the UE so why ?

Hi @piktaka

Let's start with some details.

Could you please first share you UE session config in UPF. You may use /api/v1/pfcp_sessions API for this purpose.

Hi @pirog-spb thank you for the response about the pfcp sessions this is the json object :
"{
"10.100.200.8": {
"ID": "smf.free5gc.org",
"Addr": "10.100.200.8",
"NextSessionID": 3
}
}"

Hm, not so much info. Could you please share eupf logs written during session establishment?

The goal is to verify that eupf received all necessary data to perform policing according to your initial question.

Ok FYI information I am running Free5gc compose with eupf , so I am not using the upf of the free5gc compose , this is the logs of eupf :
