PCRF storage of PCC contexts is volatile. When a PCRF fails, the PCC contexts and Diameter sessions affected by the failure are lost in the PCRF.
When a PCRF receives a non-initial message for which no Diameter session exists, it shall discard the message and return a Diameter error indication to the originating PCRF client.
