Re: [Dime] RFC 4006 bis - IMEI

[<[e-mail]>]

There is a lot of historical stuff in 3GPP specifications, depending on the release for which the specification was first edited.

After a lot of discussion, the formats of IMEI/IMEISV have been clarified in the TS 23.003, defined as two distinct identifiers:
IMEI     = TAC | SNR |CD/SD
                  8-D    6-D     1-D

IMEISV = TAC | SNR | SVN
                  8-D    6-D     2-D

On some 3GPP interfaces, these Ids are conveyed into two different 3GPP-specific AVPs. In such a case, they is no need to use the length to different one from this other.
And we are not running out of AVP codes. So no need to encapsulate in the same AVP two values with two different semantics.

Lionel
