1. A method performed by a policy and charging rules node for providing managed object support, the method comprising:
- determining, at a policy and charging rules node, that the policy and charging rules node should perform a policy decision;
comparing a criteria portion of at least one rule of a plurality of rules to a set of context information;
identifying a rule of the plurality of rules that matches the set of context information;
determining that a result portion of the identified rule includes a reference to a first managed object; and
