Description
The FlowInfo parameter usage is described as "Identifies IP packet filters. To be used when a the Application needs a traffic flow towards a specific EAS interface".
If the FlowInfo parameter is optional then IP flow is expected to be identified by the UE Identity type as the IPAddress. In that case the userId of type IPAddress is typically specified as "IPv4 address and the Port" parameter. If the PORT parameter is not provided then the IPAddress may be assumed to be applied to all traffic flows originating from UE with the IP address provided in UE Identity.
The issue is that the TI API does not mention the expectation on the values the userId should carry if the identity type is IPAddress.
types_UEIdentity:
description: Identifier value for User Equipment. The type of identifier is defined by the 'UEIdentityType' parameter.
If the intent of the API when the userId is of type IPAddress is to apply traffic influence to only a specific IP flow then it should specify the reference to port number as well. Such a notion is followed in some of the other APIs e.g., "The public IP allocated to the device. If an IPv4 address is specified, the public port must also be specified".
So the suggestion is to make the description more clear in terms of the values to be used for userId parameter when the UE identity type is IPAddress.
