Hi Glen,

I agree, the RFC is not clear in this. But the section 8.35 says 
that the access device must drop all packets not matching the filters,
so I think that if Restriction-Filter-Rule AVP(s) or the Filter-Id AVP(s) 
are not included in the CCA, then the access device must drop all packets.
 
regards........Harri
