This document covers the details for the Intra Domain Connection of RAN Nodes to Multiple CN Nodes for GERAN and UTRAN based systems. In particular, it details the impacts to GSM and UMTS systems and the stage 2 procedures for the support of connecting a RNC or BSC to multiple MSC servers or SGSNs.
