The CC-POI present in the SGW/PGW and ePDG shall send xCC over LI_X3 for each IP packet belonging to the target's communication. Each X3 PDU shall contain the contents of the user plane packet given using the GTP-U, IP or Ethernet payload format. The CC-POI present in the SGW/PGW and ePDG shall set the payload format to indicate the appropriate payload type (5 for IPv4 Packet, 6 for IPv6 Packet, 7 for Ethernet frame or 12 for GTP-U packet as per ETSI TS 103 221-2 [8] clause 5.4). If it is required to send the ICE-type for the xCC, the CC-POI shall set the NFID attribute (see ETSI TS 103 221-2 [8] clause 5.3.7) to the appropriate value from the ICE-type enumeration in TS 33.108 Annex B.10 as a single octet. As an example, an ICE-type of "sgw" is indicated by setting the attribute to value 3.

When CUPS architecture is used, the CC-POI in the SGW-U/PGW-U is provisioned by the CC-TF in the SGW-C/PGW-C using a Triggering message (i.e. ActivateTask message) as described in clause 6.3.3.0. The CC-POI present in the SGW-U/PGW-U shall send xCC over LI_X3 for each IP packet matching the criteria specified in the Triggering message (i.e. ActivateTask message) received over LI_T3 from the CC-TF in the SGW-C/PGW-C. Each X3 PDU shall contain the contents of the user plane packet given using the GTP-U, IP or Ethernet payload format. The CC-POI present in the SGW-U/PGW-U shall set the payload format to indicate the appropriate payload type (5 for IPv4 Packet, 6 for IPv6 Packet, 7 for Ethernet frame or 12 for GTP-U Packet as described in ETSI TS 103 221-2 [8] clauses 5.4 and 5.4.13. If handover of the entire GTP-U packet is required over LI_HI3 (see clause 6.2.3.8), then consideration shall be made of the correct choice of LI_X3 payload type to ensure that the MDF3 has the necessary CC information. Support for delivery of LI_X3 as payload type 12 (GTP-U packet) is mandatory.
