Dependencies

The G-Flex feature for vSTP has no dependency on any other vSTP operation.

The following points must be considered for G-Flex functionality:
  • The vSTP does not perform any conversion in the SCCP portion of the message to support routing of messages across the domain boundary (ANSI to ITU and vice versa).
  • The vSTP shall continue to support routing of messages across network boundaries (ITU-N to ITU-I and vice versa). However, GTT and/or Enhanced global title translation (EGTT) neither modify the National Indicator bit in the CdPA AI nor convert the CgPA PC to match the network type.
  • For messages with E.214 numbers in the SCCP CdPA, it will be possible via a simple conversion to form an E.212 number. The E.212 number formed by such a conversion will be the full IMSI of the subscriber. That is, we assume that no truncation occurred when the E.214 number was originally formed from the E.212 number. Such truncation is allowed by the E.214 recommendation.
  • The use of combination(s) of SCCP Cdpa Parameters as trigger(s) for G-Flex processing plus SSN discrimination will provide the ability to limit G-Flex processing to only the messages for which it is appropriate.
  • UDR connection must be configured before any service configuration.
  • UDR doesn’t support HEX digits.
