Introduction

General
• Application (RAT/plane) is
allocated to IP interface, SBTS transport SBTS external
either virtual or transport SBTS virtual IP IP interfaces physical
interfaces interfaces
• If application is allocated to
virtual IP interface, association
with transport IP interface is
Applications Routing Switching
done indirectly via routing
configuration GSM User Plane (U)
ML-PPP
• Transport IP interface is GSM Control Plane (C)
associated with single L2 WCDMA User Plane (U) V1 T1
