Figure 8.2.158-1: UE Link-Specific IP Address

The following flags are coded within Octet 5:

– Bit 1 – V4: If this bit is set to "1", then the UE Link-Specific IPv4 Address for 3GPP Access shall be present in the UE Link-Specific IP Address IE.

– Bit 2 – V6: If this bit is set to "1", then the UE Link-Specific IPv6 Address for 3GPP Access shall be present in the UE Link-Specific IP Address IE.

– Bit 3 – NV4: If this bit is set to "1", then the UE Link-Specific IPv4 Address for Non-3GPP Access shall be present in the UE Link-Specific IP Address IE.

– Bit 4 – NV6: If this bit is set to "1", then the UE Link-Specific IPv6 Address for Non-3GPP Access shall be present in the UE Link-Specific IP Address IE.

– Bit 5 to 8 Spare, for future use and set to "0".

Octets "p to (p+3)" or "q to (q+15)" (IPv4 address / IPv6 address fields), if present, shall contain the value for UE Link-Specific IP Address for 3GPP access.

Octets "r to (r+3)" or "s to (s+15)" (IPv4 address / IPv6 address fields), if present, shall contain the value for UE Link-Specific IP Address for Non-3GPP access.
