The GMSC sends the Send Routing Information request with both the Network Signal Information and Network Signal Information 2 parameters. The Network Signal Information shall include the ISDN BC IE for the preferred service, and the Network Signal Information 2 includes the ISDN BC IE for the less preferred service.

4.3.3.1.4 for the GMSC. The information elements specific to SCUDIF between the GMSC and the HLR are specified in
subclauses 4.3.3.1.1 and
