(Item 8326) Clarify signaling information definition at DLUR ------------------------------------------------------------- The architecture in item 8303 which allows signaling information to be defined at the DLUR needs additional clarification in the case when some of the signaling information is defined at the DLUR and some at the DLUS. The entire proposal follows, with the clarifications marked with >>: The proposed solution is to update the DLUR architecture reference as follows: Signaling Information - This parameter will identify the DLUR-to-PU connectivity. This information must be coordinated between the DLUR and DLUS nodes: 1) it can be defined completely at the DLUR - in this case some or all of the information can optionally be sent to the DLUS to be used for network management, input into the Configuration Services XID exit for connection verification and accounting, and PU correlation 2) it can be defined completely at the DLUS - in this case all of the information will be sent to the DLUR on the ACTPU 3) it can be defined partially at the DLUS and partially at the DLUR - in this case the DLUR can optionally send the DLUR-defined signaling information (for the reasons described above) while the DLUS-defined signaling information will be sent on the ACTPU - if upon receipt of the ACTPU, the DLUR determines it has incomplete signaling information, it can optionally proceed with the activation (using defaults) or it can fail the >> activation with sense code X'086D 46mm', where mm = the >> subfield key of a missing subfield. - if upon receipt of the ACTPU, the DLUR determines it has the same signaling information subfield from both the DLUR and DLUS, but the subfields have different values, it will >> optionally: >> >> * allow the DLUS values to prevail >> >> * allow the DLUR values to prevail >> >> * reject the ACTPU with sense code X'0877 0059' >> >> - if upon receipt of the REQACTPU, the DLUS determines it has >> the same signaling information subfield from both the DLUR >> and DLUS, but the subfields have different values, it can >> optionally reject the REQACTPU with sense code X'0877 005A'.
