4 Overview
The present document specifies a Diameter application for use between a Connectivity session Location and repository
Function (CLF) and an Application Function (AF). The interface between the CLF and the AF is known as the e2
interface (figure 1).
A Connectivity session Location and repository Function (CLF) is a data base in an access network that maintains a
mapping between IP addresses allocated to IP connectivity users and the corresponding network location. A CLF may
also store additional information related to IP connectivity sessions. How a CLF obtains this information is outside the
scope of the present document.
In the context of the present document, an Application Function (AF) represents any network element offering - or
providing access to - applications that require information about the characteristics of the IP-connectivity session used
to access such applications.
In an NGN architecture (ES 282 001 [i.1]), a CLF is a functional entity of the Network Attachment Sub-System (NASS)
defined in ES 282 004 [i.2]. Annex A provides further information on the use of a CLF in NGN architectures.

5 Procedure descriptions
5.1 General
The following clauses describe the procedures for supporting interactions between an AF and a CLF.
In the tables that describe this mapping, each Information Element is marked as (M) Mandatory, (C) Conditional or (O)
Optional.
• A mandatory Information Element (marked as (M) in the table) shall always be present in the command. If this
Information Element is absent, an application error occurs at the receiver and an answer message shall be sent
back to the originator of the request with the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP. This message
shall also include a Failed-AVP AVP containing the missing Information Element i.e. the corresponding
Diameter AVP defined by the AVP Code and the other fields set as expected for this Information Element.
• A conditional Information Element (marked as (C) in tables 1 and 2) shall be present in the command if certain
conditions are fulfilled:
- If the receiver detects that those conditions are fulfilled and the Information Element is absent, an
application error occurs and an answer message shall be sent back to the originator of the request with
the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP. This message shall also include a Failed-AVP
AVP containing the missing Information Element i.e. the corresponding Diameter AVP defined by the
AVP Code and the other fields set as expected for this Information Element. If multiple Information
Elements are missing, all corresponding AVP codes shall be included in the Failed-AVP AVP.
- If those conditions are not fulfilled, the Information Element shall be absent. If however this Information
Element appears in the message, it shall not cause an application error and it may be ignored by the
receiver if this is not explicitly defined as an error case. Otherwise, an application error occurs at the
receiver and an answer message with the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_AVP_NOT_ALLOWED shall
be sent back to the originator of the request. A Failed-AVP AVP containing a copy of the corresponding
Diameter AVP shall be included in this message.
• An optional Information Element (marked as (O) in tables 1 and 2) may be present or absent in the command,
at the discretion of the application at the sending entity. Absence or presence of this Information Element shall
not cause an application error and may be ignored by the receiver.

5.2 Procedures on the CLF - AF interface
5.2.1 Information query
5.2.1.1 Overview
This procedure is used by an AF to retrieve from the CLF location information and other data related to an access
session.
This procedure is mapped to the commands User-Data-Request/Answer in the Diameter application specified in
TS 129 329 [7].
Tables 1 and 2 detail the involved information elements and their mapping to Diameter AVPs.
Table 1: Information query request
Information Mapping to diameter Cat. Description
element name AVP
Globally unique Globally-Unique- C This information element contains:
IP Address Address - The IP address of the UE for which profile information is being
pushed.
- The addressing domain in which the IP address is significant.
IP connectivity User-Name C The identity of the IP connectivity user that is attached to the
user ID network.
AF Identity AF-Application-Identifier M Identifies the AF originating the request.
Requested-Items Requested-Information O The list of items requested by the AF.
NOTE: Either the Globally-Unique-IP-Address or the IP connectivity user ID shall be included.

Table 2: Information query response
Information Mapping to diameter Cat. Description
element name AVP
Result Result-Code / M Result of the request.
Experimental_
Result Result-Code AVP shall be used for errors defined in the Diameter
Base Protocol.

Experimental-Result AVP shall be used for other errors. This is a
grouped AVP which contains the 3GPP Vendor ID in the Vendor-Id
AVP, and the error code in the Experimental-Result-Code AVP.
IP connectivity User-Name O The identity of the IP connectivity user that is attached to the
user ID network.
Location Location-Information O Location information (or a pointer to such information) in a form that
Information is suitable for the requesting application.
Policy Control Policy-Control- O The FQDN or IP address of a policy control entity where resource
contact point Contact- request shall be sent.
Point
Access Network Access-Network- O The type of access network over which IP connectivity is provided to
Type Type the user equipment.
Terminal Type Terminal-Type O The type of user equipment to which the IP address was allocated.
Logical Access ID Logical-Access-Id O The identity of the logical access where the user equipment is
connected.
Physical Access ID Physical-Access-Id O The identity of the physical access where the user equipment is
connected.

5.2.1.2 Procedure at the AF side
The AF shall populate the Information Query as follows:
1) Insert either a Globally-Unique-Address or a User-Name AVP. The Globally-Unique-Address AVP shall
contain a Frame-IP-Address or Frame-IPv6-Prefix AVP value, and an Address-Realm AVP. The
Address-Realm AVP shall be included and set either using configuration data (in which case all terminal
equipment served by the AF belong to the same addressing domain) or from the physical or logical interface
over which was received the resource request that triggered the pull procedure.
2) The AF-Application-Identifier AVP shall be present.
3) The Requested-Information AVP shall be present if specific information is requested and shall be absent if all
available information is requested.
5.2.1.3 Procedure at the CLF side
Upon reception of the Information Query, the CLF shall, in the following order:
1) If the Globally-Unique-Address AVP is present, use this information as a key to retrieve the requested session
information.
2) If the Globally-Unique-Address AVP is absent but the User-Name AVP is present, use the latter information
as a key to retrieve the requested session information.
3) If both the Globally-Unique-Address AVP and the User-Name AVP are absent, return an Information Query
response with Result-Code set to DIAMETER_MISSING_AVP.
4) If more than one record include the same IP connectivity user ID matching the value of the User-Name AVP
and no Globally-Unique-Address AVP is included, return an Information Query response with Result-Code set
to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY.
5) If no session record is stored for the Globally-Unique-Address AVP or the User-Name AVP, return an
Information Query with the Experimental-Result-Code AVP shall be set to
DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_UNKNOWN.
If a unique IP connectivity user record can be retrieved, the CLF shall:
1) Check which session data can be returned to the AF, based on the contents of the Requested-Information AVP,
local policy rules and per-IP connectivity user privacy information previously received from the UAAF/PDBF
and stored in the CLF.
NOTE 1: If the Requested-Information AVP is not received, the list of requested information is inferred from the
AF identity.
2) Check whether the session data to be retrieved is currently being updated by another entity. If there is an
update of the data in progress, the CLF may delay the response message until the update has been completed
and shall include in the response message the updated data requested. The CLF shall ensure that the data
returned is not corrupted by this conflict.
Under temporary overload conditions, the CLF shall stop processing the request and return an Information Query
response with the Result-Code set to DIAMETER_TOO_BUSY. The AF may retry retrieving the required information
at a later stage.
If the CLF cannot fulfil the received request for reasons not stated in the above steps, e.g. due to database error, it shall
stop processing the request and set the Result-Code to DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY or an
Experimental-Result-Code AVP set to DIAMETER_USER_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.
Otherwise, the requested operation shall take place and the CLF shall return the Result-Code AVP set to
DIAMETER_SUCCESS and the session data in the Information Query response.
NOTE 2: Due to the application of operator's policies and IP connectivity user privacy rules, the session data
returned in the message may be a subset of the explicitly or implicitly requested session data.
