Address Ranges

An Address Range contains the following attributes:

• Routing Entity Type
• Start Address
• End Address
• Destination

RBAR Address Ranges are at least two addresses.

A common set of Address Ranges (such as all IMSIs associated with a LTE-HSS) is called a Digit Range Table (DRT).

For a DRT that can be associated with User Identity Types,

• RBAR supports DRT Address Ranges with different digit lengths.

  or example, the range 9195550000 - 9195559999 and the range 303200 - 303299 are allowed in the same DRT.

• RBAR supports a minimum of 8 different DRT Address Range digit lengths.

  For example, an MSISDN DRT could contain Address Ranges with 3 digits, 6 digits, 10 digits and 15 digits.

For a DRT that can be associated with the Routing Entity Type IPv6-Prefix Address, RBAR supports a minimum of 32 different DRT Address Range bit lengths.

The Start Address and the End Address attributes of an Address Range entry that can be associated with the Routing Entity Type UNSIGNED16 are always a 16-bit value.
