ANDSF Server Name (ANDSF-SN) is used by UE to discover ANDSF Server in the network.
The ANDSF-SN is composed of six labels. The last three labels shall be
"pub.3gppnetwork.org". The second and third labels together shall uniquely identify the PLMN. The first label shall be
"andsf".
The ANDSF-SN is derived from the IMSI or Visited PLMN Identity as follows:
"andsf.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.pub.3gppnetwork.org"
where:
"mnc" and
"mcc" serve as invariable identifiers for the following digits.
-
When contacting Visited ANDSF (V-ANDSF), the <MNC> and <MCC> shall be derived from the Visited PLMN Identity as defined in clause 12.1.
-
When contacting Home ANDSF (H-ANDSF), the <MNC> and <MCC> shall be derived from the components of the IMSI defined in clause 2.2.
In order to guarantee inter-PLMN DNS translation, the
<MNC> and
<MCC> coding used in the
"andsf.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.pub.3gppnetwork.org" format of the ANDSF-SN shall be:
-
<MNC> = 3 digits
-
<MCC> = 3 digits
If there are only 2 significant digits in the MNC, one
"0" digit shall be inserted at the left side to fill the 3 digits coding of MNC in the ANDSF-SN.
As an example, the ANDSF-SN OI for MCC 345 and MNC 12 is coded in the DNS as:
"andsf.mnc012.mcc345.pub.3gppnetwork.org".
