-
Mobility anchoring for inter-eAN handoffs
-
Transport level packet marking in the uplink and the downlink, e.g., setting the DiffServ Code Point, based on the QCI of the associated EPS bearer
-
Uplink and downlink charging per UE, PDN, and QCI
-
Downlink bearer binding based on policy information
-
Uplink bearer binding verification with packet dropping of UL traffic that does not comply with established uplink policy

Basic Features
Authentication
The HSGW supports the following authentication features:
-
EAP over PPP
-
UE and HSGW negotiates EAP as the authentication protocol during LCP
-
HSGW is the EAP authenticator
-
EAP-AKA' (trusted non-3GPP access procedure) as specified in TS 33.402
-
EAP is performed between UE and 3GPP AAA over PPP/STa
For more information on authentication features, refer to the Features and Functionality - Base Software in this overview.
IP Address Allocation
The HSGW supports the following IP address allocation features:
-
Support for IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
-
Types of PDNs - IPv4, IPv6 or IPv4v6
-
IPv6 addressing -
Interface Identifier assigned during initial attach and used by UE to generate it\'s link local address
-
HSGW sends the assigned /64 bit prefix in RA to the UE
-
Configure the 128-bits IPv6 address using IPv6 SLAAC (RFC 4862)
-
Optional IPv6 parameter configuration via stateless DHCPv6(Not supported)
-
-
IPv4 address
-
IPv4 address allocation during attach
-
Deferred address allocation using DHCPv4 (Not supported)
-
Option IPv4 parameter configuration via stateless DHCPv4 (Not supported)
-
