Re: [DMM] regarding the re-chartering..

["Sri Gundavelli (sgundave)" <[e-mail]>]

Yes. Currently, the MNID is if the nai format and is overloaded. The MNID
in 3GPP specs is the IMSI-NAI (IMSI@REALM), its based on the IMSI. Ex:
"<IMSI>@epc.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.3gppnetwork.org²

We also have MAC48@REALM;

We also have approaches to transform MAC to Pseudo IMSI, and then carry
IMSI-NAI as the MN-ID.


So, we need unique sub-types for each of the types/sources.

MN-Id based on IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, MAC ..

Also, do we need to distinguish between IMSI and IMSI-NAI ?
