context: This one bit field indicates whether the PPP Protocol ID of the subframe follows the subframe length field. PFF = 1 indicates that the protocol field is present for this subframe. PFF = 0 indicates that the protocol field is absent for this subframe. If PFF = 0 then the PPP Protocol ID is the same as that of the preceding subframe with PFF = 1, or it is equal to the default PID value of the PPPMuxCP Option for the first subframe. Length Field: The length field consists of three subfields: 1) Protocol Field Flag (PFF): The PFF refers to the most significant bit of the first byte of each subframe. This one bit field indicates whether the PPP Protocol ID of the subframe follows the subframe length field. For the first subframe, the PFF bit could be set to zero if the PPP protocol ID of the first subframe is equal to the default PID value negotiated in PPPMuxCP. PFF = 1 indicates that the protocol field is present (and follows the length field) for this subframe. PFF = 0 indicates that
description: The Signalling End Point (SEP) is a network function that plays a crucial role in establishing and managing signalling connections between different nodes in the network, specifically in the context of SUA (Signalling User Adaptation) connectivity. It interacts with other network functions such as the SG (Signalling Gateway) and ASPs (Application Server Processes) to facilitate communication and ensure seamless operation.
explanation: The SEP is classified as a Network Function based on its role in managing signalling connections, declaring availability, and interacting with other network elements like the SG and ASPs. The context highlights its involvement in establishing SCTP associations, aligning SS7 links, and exchanging messages with the SG to ensure proper communication.
