Figure 8.2.209-1: Local Ingress Tunnel
The following flags are coded within Octet 5:
– Bit 1 – V4: If this bit is set to "1" and the CH bit is not set, then the IPv4 address field shall be present, otherwise the IPv4 address field shall not be present.
– Bit 2 – V6: If this bit is set to "1" and the CH bit is not set, then the IPv6 address field shall be present, otherwise the IPv6 address field shall not be present.
– Bit 3 – CH (CHOOSE): If this bit is set to "1", then the UDP Port, IPv4 address and IPv6 address fields shall not be present and the UP function shall assign a UDP Port with an IP4 or an IPv6 address if the V4 or V6 bit is set respectively. This bit shall only be set by the CP function.
– Bit 4 to 8: Spare, for future use and set to "0".
Only one of the V4 and V6 flags shall be set to "1".
Octets "m to (m+3)" and/or "p to (p+15)" (IPv4 address / IPv6 address fields), if present, it shall contain the respective IP address values.
