To identify an PDN (IP network), that mobile data user wants to communicate with PDN Identity (APN) is used to determine the P-GW and point of interconnection with a PDN With APN as query parameter to the DNS procedures, the MME will receive a list of candidate P-GWs, and then a P-GW is selected by MME with policy To identify an EPS bearer (Default or Dedicated) per an UE To identify an E-RAB per an UE To identify a DRB per an UE To identify the default bearer associated with a dedicated EPS bearer To identify the end point of a GTP tunnel when the tunnel is established
