Gy is mostly a restricted subset of Ro. For instance, in Gy online charging the use of multiple-services-credit-control AVP is mandatory. Gy also adds some AVPs that Ro doesn't specify (eg. volume-quota-threshold).

Ro is a 3GPP reference point that describes the connection to the OCS from another functional component. It is a general term that covers multiple connecting components such as GGSN, P-GW, WLAN, IMS AS, MBMS server, etc. See 3GPP TS 32.296 [1] Figure 5.1 for reference.

Gy is an specific instance of the Ro reference point that connects a charging component from the packet-switched domain (PS domain) i.e. PCEF within a GGSN or P-GW to the OCS. See 3GPP TS 32.251 [2] Figure 4.3-1 for reference.

3GPP 29.210 section 6 talks about Gx over Gy application. My question is about the use case, i.e. in what practical scenario one will require to have Gx over Gy support.

Probably I know the part of the answer, still want to understand and debate the full role on Diameter Protocol in IMS. Diameter is used in all interfaces where AAA service is required in LTE may be more then 50+ interfaces are there where diameter is required. Now the question is - can we say similar thing about the IMS too or still Radius rules in IMS.
