NOTE:
Anchor SMF implementations complying with earlier versions of the specification may not support setting this Indication. If the attribute is absent, the I-SMF or V-SMF can determine whether the QoS Rule is the default QoS Rule by decoding the available qosRules IE. The absence of the attribute shall not be interpreted as meaning that the QoS flow is not associated with the default QoS Rule.
