Download of Service Provider Data ASN.1 Issue

Origination Date :02/14/1997

Originator:MCI

Description:

The NetworkDataDownload ASN.1 definition is as follows:

NetworkDownloadData ::= SET OF SEQUENCE {

   service-prov-data [0] SEQUENCE {

      service-prov-id ServiceProvId,

      service-prov-name ServiceProvName OPTIONAL

   },

   service-prov-npa-nxx-data [1]

      NPA-NXX-DownloadData OPTIONAL,

   service-prov-lrn-data [2] LRN-DownloadData OPTIONAL

}

NPA-NXX_DownloadData and LRN-DownloadData both have download reason which basically specify whether to add, delete or modify instances, however, service_prov_data does not.  There is no way to indicate that a serviceProvNetwork object has been deleted in a network data download.

Final Resolution:

It is proposed that since service provider deletion is not a frequent activity that addition of this functionality be added in a later release.

The ASN.1 would be modified as follows:

NetworkDownloadData ::= SET OF SEQUENCE {

   service-prov-data [0] SEQUENCE {

      service-prov-id ServiceProvId,

      service-prov-name

         ServiceProvName OPTIONAL,

      Service-prov-download-reason

         DownloadReason

   },

   service-prov-npa-nxx-data [1]

      NPA-NXX-DownloadData

         OPTIONAL,

   Service-prov-lrn-data [2]

      LRN-DownloadData OPTIONAL

}
