The file contains one ePDG selection information TLV data object. The ePDG selection information TLV data object contains a list of PLMNs which are preferred for ePDG selection. The list of PLMNs may include the HPLMN. For each PLMN, it is indicated:

– the preference order (priority) given to ePDG of a PLMN and

– whether selection of an ePDG in such PLMN should be based on Tracking/Location Area Identity FQDN or on Operator Identifier FQDN,

as specified in the "Selection of the ePDG" UE procedure of 3GPP TS 24.302 [79].

PLMN:

Contents:

– Mobile Country Code (MCC) followed by the Mobile Network Code (MNC).

Coding:

– According to TS 24.008 [9].

– A BCD value of ‘D’ in any of the MCC and/or MNC digits shall be used to indicate a "wild" value for that corresponding MCC/MNC digit.

– A value of ‘DDDDDD’ represents "any PLMN" value.

ePDG Priority:

Contents:

– The PLMN Priority represents the preference order given to ePDGs of a PLMN.

Coding:

– ePDG Priority value is coded as a 2-Byte integer.

ePDG FQDN format:

Contents:

– Indicates whether the selection of an ePDG in this PLMN should be based on Tracking/Location Area Identity FQDN or on Operator Identifier FQDN (see 3GPP TS 24.302 [79]).

Coding:

– ’00’: Indicates that Operator Identifier FQDN format shall be used (see 3GPP TS 24.302 [79]).

– ’01’: Indicates that location based FQDN format shall be used (see 3GPP TS 24.302 [79]).

– Other values are RFU.
