The following bits within Octet 5 shall indicate:

– Bit 1 – PLLSSM (Provide Lower Layer SSM): if this bit is set to "1", it indicates that the MB-UPF shall allocate a lower layer SSM (i.e. multicast destination address and related source IP address) and a GTP-U Common Tunnel EndPoint Identifier (C-TEID) in the Multicast Transport Address IE. See clause 5.34.2.2.

– Bit 2 – JMBSSM (Join MBS Session SSM): if this bit is set to "1", it indicates that the MB-UPF shall join the multicast tree towards the Source Specific Multicast (SSM) address information provided by AF/AS or MBSTF for the MBS Session.

– Bit 3 – MBS RESTI (MBS Restoration Indication): if this bit is set to "1", it indicates to the MB-UPF that the PFCP session to be established is to restore an existing PFCP session of an MBS session.

– Bit 4 to 8 – Spare, for future use, shall be set to "0" by the sender and discarded by the receiver.
