Content for TS 29.303 Word version: 17.4.0
1 Scope p. 8
The present document describes Domain Name System (DNS) Procedures for the Evolved Packet System. This document covers the Evolved Packet Core gateway node selection using DNS (e.g. SGW and PGW nodes) excluding all User Equipment (UE) initiated DNS-based discovery and selection procedures.
The present document specifies functions, procedures and information which apply to GERAN Iu mode. However, functionality related to GERAN Iu mode is neither maintained nor enhanced.
The present document also describes the Domain Name System (DNS) Procedures for the Evolved Packet System interworking with the 5G System, as specified in TS 23.501 and TS 23.502.
2 References p. 8
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations p. 9
3.1 Definitions p. 9
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
Domain Name System as defined in RFC 1034, RFC 1035, and as used in 3GPP in TS 23.003 and GSMA PRD IR.67 [5].
The phrase "operators shall provision" in this document is intended to convey what is required to provision in DNS to provide DNS based selection for the corresponding function documented here. If there is a non-DNS procedure in an operator's network for that function then there is no functional requirement for the operator to provision such DNS records.
The term "S4-SGSN" refers to a Release-8 SGSN that has at least one set of S4/S3/S16 interfaces enabled.
The term "Release 8 SGSN supporting only Gn/Gp" refers to a Release 8 or later SGSN that either explicitly does not support S4 interfaces or all S4/S3/S16 interfaces are disabled due to operator policy. Such a node cannot use an SGW but can use a collocated PGW/GGSN. See TS 23.401 Annex D for use cases.
The term "Release-8 SGSN" applies to either case.
3.2 Abbreviations p. 10
