Edge Trunk Cancel Location Answer
The forceful deletion due to subscription withdrawal is completed successfully for the particular IMSI. This is an acknowledgment sent from MME to HSS
4G
Create Session Request

4G
Create Session Request
SPGWC receives the default route establishment from MME to create a GTP tunnel. The source is identified by the fully qualified endpoint identifier with the Tunnel Endpoint Identifier (TEID) and the MME IP Address.This message is received by SPGWC from MME.
4G
Create Session Response
Event showing a successful acknowledgment message from SPGWC to the MME that indicates the establishment of GPRS Tunneling Protocol for control (GTP-C) tunnel. The IP Address assigned to the UE is also included along with the downlink and uplink maximum data rates allowed at the APN level. The TAI and ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Group Identifier) information identify the current location of the user.
