MOBILE APPLICATION PART (MAP)

Introduction of higher supported MAP version

Please note the following when completing this table:

If a different Application Context version is supported by multiple vendors of the same equipment in your network then the entry in the table shall be the highest, common AC version supported (e.g. if equipment from one vendor supports an ACv2 and the same equipment but from a different vendor supports an ACv3, then the entry in the table will be ACv2).

All operations for an Application Context version must be supported, otherwise that version cannot be claimed to be supported.

If an Application Context is not supported, then a single hyphen ("-") shall be entered instead of a number. All GSM Operators shall ask their Vendors to have the latest Version of Release implemented (e.g. Suppose that Ext-QoS-Subscribed length range is 1 to X in ver x.y.z, but 1 to Y in the latest MAP version of the same release. In this case, all operators shall implement Ext-QoS-Subscribed length range as 1 to Y as written in the latest version).

Vodafone Albania Network

!! The below schema is only for Vodafone Roaming Services HUB.

The number of AAC and DAAC installed in the network is decided by each operator

The term "Outbound Roaming" denotes any one of the following nodes that is located in the home PLMN only: HLR, gsmSCF, SMSIWMSC, SMSGMSC.

APN Operator Identifier used for GGSN resolution. The last three labels of the APN Operator Identifier must be in the form: MNC.MCC.GPRS

IP address of DNS which resolves the APN Operator Identifier. The secondary DNS IP address field is optional.

IP addresses or IP address range(s) of GPRS Support Nodes (GGSN and SGSN) that give onto the inter-PLMN backbone. This information is used for firewall and Border Gateway configuration (see PRD IR.34).

The Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a 16 bit integer that every PLMN must assign to their GPRS IP network that is seen as one Autonomous System (AS). The ASN enables the exchange of exterior routing information between neighbouring AS. This can be either a private ASN (64512 through to 65535) or public ASN.

Pingable and traceroutable IP address of the GPRS backbone device within operators AS. Maximum size for ping is 64 bytes. Minimum time

The highest GTP version which operators support. (e.g.: R97 and R98: ver.0, R99 and after R99 : ver.1)

It is recommend that GTPver1 be supported from 00:00:00 1st January 2005, otherwise while GTPver0 only is supported by a network that network should apply the configuration defined in IR.34.
