SCMS CV Pilots Documentation : RA - Download Local Policy File

EEs use this service to download a local policy file.

PORT8892
PATH/download/policy/local
HTTP MethodGET
HTTP Request BodyEmpty
HTTP Request Headers

Optionally, the request may include the standard HTTP Header 'If-None-Match' containing the filename of the local policy file that the EE currently possesses, excluding any path. For example:

If-None-Match: "local_policy_0001_0001.oer"

This is used to prevent the same policy file from being downloaded by the device multiple times.

HTTP Response Body

Where:

  • X is the global version number
  • Y is the local policy version
  • Z is one of the permitted encoding formats (oer) from the file name in the request message

OR

An HTTP code of 304 (Not Modified), if the provided file name in the 'If-None-Match' header matches the current version available on the RA server.

Quality of Service

Estimated values are per logical unit, meaning multiple individual nodes can contribute to achieve the desired level of service. The number of vehicles that potentially invoke this service in a week is a function of the number of years in service:

Throughput

Assuming half of all new cars plus all existing vehicles need to download local policy in the same week.

8,500,000 new vehicles / 604,800 seconds/week

14 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 34,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

70 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 68,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

126 requests / second

(8,500,000 new vehicles + 153,000,000 existing vehicles) / 604,800 seconds/week

267 requests / second
