11.9.1.2 Conformance requirement

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 23.060, clause 15.3.2.0 and TS 24.008, clause 10.5.6.12.

[TS 23.060, clause 15.3.2.0]

Each valid downlink- and uplink-packet filter contains a unique identifier within a given TFT, an evaluation precedence index that is unique among all packet filters for the same direction (downlink or uplink) for one PDP address and APN pair, and at least one of the following attributes:

– Remote Address and Subnet Mask.

– Protocol Number (IPv4) / Next Header (IPv6).

– Local Port Range.

– Remote Port Range.

– IPSec Security Parameter Index (SPI).

– Type of Service (TOS) (IPv4) / Traffic class (IPv6) and Mask.

– Flow Label (IPv6).

In the list of attributes above ‘Remote’ refers to the external network entity, and ‘Local’ to the MS.

Some of the above-listed attributes may coexist in a packet filter while others mutually exclude each other. In table 12 below, the possible combinations are shown. Only those attributes marked with an "X" may be specified for a single packet filter. All marked attributes may be specified, but at least one shall be specified.

If the parameters of the header of a received PDP PDU match all specified attribute values in a packet filter, then it is considered that a match is found for this packet filter. In this case, the evaluation procedure is aborted. Other packet filters in increasing order of their evaluation precedence index are evaluated until such match is found.

There may be potential conflicts if attribute values are combined in such a way that the defined filter can never achieve a match to a valid IP packet header. However, the determination of such conflicts is outside the scope of GPRS standardization.

[TS 24.008, clause 10.5.6.12]

The purpose of the traffic flow template information element is to specify the TFT parameters and operations for a PDP context. In addition, this information element may be used to transfer extra parameters to the network (e.g. the Authorization Token; see 3GPP TS 24.229 [95]). The TFT may contain packet filters for the downlink direction, the uplink direction or packet filters that apply for both directions. The packet filters determine the traffic mapping to PDP contexts. The downlink packet filters shall be applied by the network and the uplink packet filters shall be applied by the MS. A packet filter that applies for both directions shall be applied by the network as a downlink packet filter and by the MS as an uplink filter.

The traffic flow template is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 3 octets. The maximum length for the IE is 257 octets.

NOTE 1: The IE length restriction is due to the maximum length that can be encoded in a single length octet.

NOTE 2: A maximum size IPv4 packet filter can be 32 bytes. Therefore, 7 maximum size IPv4 type packet filters, plus the last packet filter which can contain max 30 octets can fit into one TFT, i.e. if needed not all packet filter components can be defined into one message. A maximum size Ipv6 packet filter can be 60 bytes. Therefore, only 4 maximum size IPv6 packet filters can fit into one TFT. However, using "Add packet filters to existing TFT", it’s possible to create a TFT including 16 maximum size Ipv4 or IPv6 filters.

The traffic flow template information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.144/3GPP TS 24.008 and table 10.5.162/3GPP TS 24.008.

The TFT operation code "No TFT operation" shall be used if a parameters list is included but no packet filter list is included in the traffic flow template information element.

E bit (bit 5 of octet 3)

The E bit indicates if a parameters list is included in the TFT IE and it is encoded as follows:

0 parameters list is not included

1 parameters list is included

Number of packet filters (octet 3)

The number of packet filters contains the binary coding for the number of packet filters in the packet filter list. The number of packet filters field is encoded in bits 4 through 1 of octet 3 where bit 4 is the most significant and bit 1 is the least significant bit. For the "delete existing TFT" operation and for the "no TFT operation", the number of packet filters shall be coded as 0. For all other operations, the number of packet filters shall be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 16.

Packet filter list (octets 4 to z)

The packet filter list contains a variable number of packet filters. For the "delete existing TFT" operation and the "no TFT operation", the packet filter list shall be empty.

For the "delete packet filters from existing TFT" operation, the packet filter list shall contain a variable number of packet filter identifiers. This number shall be derived from the coding of the number of packet filters field in octet 3.

For the "create new TFT", "add packet filters to existing TFT" and "replace packet filters in existing TFT" operations, the packet filter list shall contain a variable number of packet filters. This number shall be derived from the coding of the number of packet filters field in octet 3.

Each packet filter is of variable length and consists of

– a packet filter identifier and direction (1 octet);
– a packet filter evaluation precedence (1 octet);

– the length of the packet filter contents (1 octet); and
– the packet filter contents itself (v octets).

The packet filter identifier field is used to identify each packet filter in a TFT. The least significant 4 bits are used.

The packet filter direction is used to indicate, in bits 5 and 6, for what traffic direction the filter applies:

00 – pre Rel-7 TFT filter
01 – downlink only
10 – uplink only
11 – bidirectional

Bits 8 through 7 are spare bits.

The packet filter evaluation precedence field is used to specify the precedence for the packet filter among all packet filters in all TFTs associated with this PDP address. Higher the value of the packet filter evaluation precedence field, lower the precedence of that packet filter is. The first bit in transmission order is the most significant bit.

The length of the packet filter contents field contains the binary coded representation of the length of the packet filter contents field of a packet filter. The first bit in transmission order is the most significant bit.

The packet filter contents field is of variable size and contains a variable number (at least one) of packet filter components. Each packet filter component shall be encoded as a sequence of a one octet packet filter component type identifier and a fixed length packet filter component value field. The packet filter component type identifier shall be transmitted first.

In each packet filter, there shall not be more than one occurrence of each packet filter component type. Among the "IPv4 remote address type" and "IPv6 remote address type" packet filter components, only one shall be present in one packet filter. Among the "single local port type" and "local port range type" packet filter components, only one shall be present in one packet filter. Among the "single remote port type" and "remote port range type" packet filter components, only one shall be present in one packet filter.

The term local refers to the MS and the term remote refers to an external network entity.

1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Flow label type

All other values are reserved.

For "IPv4 remote address type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as a sequence of a four octet IPv4 address field and a four octet IPv4 address mask field. The IPv4 address field shall be transmitted first.

For "IPv6 remote address type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as a sequence of a sixteen octet IPv6 address field and a sixteen octet IPv6 address mask field. The IPv6 address field shall be transmitted first.

For "Protocol identifier/Next header type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as one octet which specifies the IPv4 protocol identifier or IPv6 next header.

For "Single local port type" and "Single remote port type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as two octet which specifies a port number.

For "Local port range type" and "Remote port range type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as a sequence of a two octet port range low limit field and a two octet port range high limit field. The port range low limit field shall be transmitted first.

For "Security parameter index", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as four octet which specifies the IPSec security parameter index.

For "Type of service/Traffic class type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as a sequence of a one octet Type-of-Service/Traffic Class field and a one octet Type-of-Service/Traffic Class mask field. The Type-of-Service/Traffic Class field shall be transmitted first.

For "Flow label type", the packet filter component value field shall be encoded as three octet which specifies the IPv6 flow label. The bits 8 through 5 of the first octet shall be spare whereas the remaining 20 bits shall contain the IPv6 flow label.

Parameters list (octets z+1 to v)

The parameters list contains a variable number of parameters that may be transferred. If the parameters list is included, the E bit is set to 1; otherwise, the E bit is set to 0.

Each parameter included in the parameters list is of variable length and consists of:

– a parameter identifier (1 octet);
– the length of the parameter contents (1 octet); and
– the parameter contents itself (v octets).

The parameter identifier field is used to identify each parameter included in the parameters list and it contains the hexadecimal coding of the parameter identifier. Bit 8 of the parameter identifier field contains the most significant bit and bit 1 contains the least significant bit. In this version of the protocol, the following parameter identifiers are specified:

– 01H (Authorization Token);

– 02H (Flow Identifier) ; and
– 03H (Packet Filter Identifier).

If the parameters list contains a parameter identifier that is not supported by the receiving entity the corresponding parameter shall be discarded.

The length of parameter contents field contains the binary coded representation of the length of the parameter contents field. The first bit in transmission order is the most significant bit.

When the parameter identifier indicates Authorization Token, the parameter contents field contains an authorization token, as specified in 3GPP TS 29.207 [100]. The first octet is the most significant octet of the authorization token and the last octet is the least significant octet of the authorization token.

The parameters list shall be coded in a way that an Authorization Token (i.e. a parameter with identifier 01H) is always followed by one or more Flow Identifiers (i.e. one or more parameters with identifier 02H).

If the parameters list contains two or more consecutive Authorization Tokens without any Flow Identifiers in between, the receiver shall treat this as a semantical TFT error.

When the parameter identifier indicates Flow Identifier, the parameter contents field contains the binary representation of a flow identifier. The Flow Identifier consists of four octets. Octets 1 and 2 contains the Media Component number as specified in 3GPP TS 29.207 [100]. Bit 1 of octet 2 is the least significant bit, and bit 8 of octet 1 is the most significant bit. Octets 3 and 4 contains the IP flow number as specified in 3GPP TS 29.207 [100]. Bit 1 of octet 4 is the least significant bit, and bit 8 of octet 3 is the most significant bit.

When the parameter identifier indicates Packet Filter Identifier, the parameter contents field contains the binary representation of one or more packet filter identifiers. Each packet filter identifier is encoded in one octet, in the 4 least significant bits. This parameter is used by the MS to identify one or more packet filters in a TFT when modifying the QoS of a PDP context without modifying the packet filter itself.

11.9.1.3 Test purpose

1. To verify that the UE, when it has IP packets to transmit, evaluates the configured packet filters in the correct evaluation order and transmits IP packets in uplink on the bearer associated with the matched packet filter when having a primary and two secondary PDP contexts active

  1. To verify that the UE, when it has IP packets to transmit and only packet filters defined for the secondary PDP contexts, transmits IP packets in uplink on the bearer associated with the primary PDP context, if the IP packet does not satisfy any of the configured packet filters for the secondary PDP contexts.
  2. To verify that the UE, when it has IP packets to transmit, transmits IP packets in uplink on the bearer associated with the primary PDP context, if the IP packet only satisfies a packet filters defined for the primary PDP context.
  3. To verify that the UE discards the IP packet if it does not satisfy any of the configured packet filters for the primary or secondary PDP contexts.

Test procedure

A PDP context activation is requested by the user and accepted by the SS.

If the UE set the PDP type to ‘IPv4’ in the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST then the SS allocates an IPv4 address to the UE and set the test variable IP type to “IPv4”. The SS executes the test sequence once (sub test 1).

Else if the UE set the PDP type to ‘IPv6’ in the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST then the SS allocates an IPv6 address via stateless address auto configuration on the established primary PDP context and set the test variable IP type to “IPv6”. The SS executes the test sequence once (sub test 2).

Else if the UE set the PDP type to ‘IPv4IPv6’ in the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST then the SS executes the test sequence twice. For first execution (sub test 1) then the SS allocates an IPv4 address to the UE and set the test variable IP type to “IPv4”. For the second execution (sub test 2) the SS allocates an IPv6 address via stateless address auto configuration on the established primary PDP context and set the test variable IP type to “IPv6”.

A secondary PDP context activation with a UL TFT filter (Packet Filter#1) is requested by the SS and the activation procedure is completed by the UE. A third PDP context is activated by the SS using the secondary PDP context activation procedure. Packet Filter#2, Packet Filter#3and Packet Filter#4, depending on the IP type used, are activated.

The SS activates UE test loop mode 4 and transmits 13 or 17 IP packets depending on the IP type used. The SS checks that the IP packets are returned by the UE on the radio bearer corresponding to the matching filter, see Table 11.9.1.4-2.

The SS sends a MODIFY PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message to the UE requesting a new TFT filter to be added to the primary PDP context, Packet Filter#5. The UE sends a MODIFY PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message in return.

The SS transmits IP packet#18 that matches Packet Filter#5. The SS checks that IP packet#18 is returned by the UE on the radio bearer associated with the primary PDP context. The SS transmits IP packet#19 that does not match any packet filter. The SS checks that no IP packet is returned by the UE on any radio bearer.

The test procedure is executed once for IPv4 case (sub test 1) and once for IPv6 case (sub test 2) dependending on UE capability as specified in Table 11.9.1.4.-1a.
