Section: 10.5.6.3 Protocol configuration options 10.5.6.3.1 General
Content: The purpose of the protocol configuration options information element is to: - transfer external network protocol options associated with a PDP context activation, and - transfer additional (protocol) data (e.g. configuration parameters, error codes or messages/events) associated with an external protocol or an application. The protocol configuration options is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 3 octets and a maximum length of 253 octets. The protocol configuration options information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.136/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ]  and table 10.5.154/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] .
