NOTE: Examples of access identifiers include wireline terminations identifiers in fixed access networks and

mobile cell identifiers.

access network: collection of network entities and interfaces that provide the underlying IP transport connectivity

between end user devices and other networks

access record: set of information stored in the CLF in relation to an access identifier

Application Function (AF): element of the network architecture offering - or providing access to - applications that

require information about the characteristics of the IP-connectivity session used to access such applications

Attribute-Value Pair (AVP): Information Element in a Diameter message
NOTE: See IETF RFC 6733 [10].
IP connectivity user: entity requesting IP connectivity from an access network
must: shall

NOTE: The drafting rules of the IETF mandate the modal auxiliary verb "must" where 3GPP/ETSI rules mandate

"shall". Similarly, "must not" and "shall not". When the present document cites an IETF document or

when it provides text which, for comprehensibility, needs to be congruent with IETF terminology, the

terms "must" and "must not" are retained, and need to be interpreted as having the same meaning as

"shall" and "shall not" in regular 3GPP/ETSI drafting conventions.

session record: set of information stored in the CLF in relation to an IP address

4 Overview

The present document specifies a Diameter application for use between a Connectivity session Location and repository

Function (CLF) and an Application Function (AF). The interface between the CLF and the AF is known as the e2

interface (figure 1).

A Connectivity session Location and repository Function (CLF) is a data base in an access network that maintains

information associated to an IP address and/or an access identifier in the form of dynamic session records or static

access records, respectively. How a CLF obtains this information is outside the scope of the present document.

In the context of the present document, an Application Function (AF) represents any network element offering - or

providing access to - applications that require information about the characteristics of the IP-connectivity session used

to access such applications. Annex A provides background information on the use of a CLF in NGN architectures

(ETSI ES 282 001 [i.1]).

5 Procedure descriptions
5.1 General

The following clauses describe the procedures for supporting interactions between an AF and a CLF.

In the tables that describe this mapping, each Information Element is marked as (M) Mandatory, (C) Conditional or (O)

Optional.

• A mandatory Information Element (marked as (M) in the table) shall always be present in the command. If this

Information Element is absent, an application error occurs at the receiver and an answer message shall be sent

back to the originator of the request with the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP. This message

shall also include a Failed-AVP AVP containing the missing Information Element i.e. the corresponding

Diameter AVP defined by the AVP Code and the other fields set as expected for this Information Element.

SIST ES 283 035 V3.2.1:2018

• A conditional Information Element (marked as (C) in tables 1 and 2) shall be present in the command if certain

conditions are fulfilled:

- If the receiver detects that those conditions are fulfilled and the Information Element is absent, an

application error occurs and an answer message shall be sent back to the originator of the request with

the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP. This message shall also include a Failed-AVP

AVP containing the missing Information Element i.e. the corresponding Diameter AVP defined by the

AVP Code and the other fields set as expected for this Information Element. If multiple Information

Elements are missing, all corresponding AVP codes shall be included in the Failed-AVP AVP.

- If those conditions are not fulfilled, the Information Element shall be absent. If however this Information

Element appears in the message, it shall not cause an application error and it may be ignored by the

receiver if this is not explicitly defined as an error case. Otherwise, an application error occurs at the

receiver and an answer message with the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_AVP_NOT_ALLOWED shall

be sent back to the originator of the request. A Failed-AVP AVP containing a copy of the corresponding

Diameter AVP shall be included in this message.

• An optional Information Element (marked as (O) in tables 1 and 2) may be present or absent in the command,

at the discretion of the application at the sending entity. Absence or presence of this Information Element shall

not cause an application error and may be ignored by the receiver.
