Understanding GTP Information Elements

Information elements (IEs) are included in all GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) control message packets. IEs provide information about GTP tunnels, such as creation, modification, deletion, and status. JUNOS Software supports IEs consistent with Third–Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 6. If you have contractual agreements with operators running earlier releases of 3GPP, you can reduce network overhead by restricting control messages containing unsupported IEs.
