The simplest configuration that can be implemented on the system to support SGSN functionality in a 2.5G network requires one context but we recommend a minimum of two: one for the SGSN service (required) and another for the charging context. The service context organizes the following: • GPRS service configuration • MAP (Mobile Application Part) configuration • DNS (Domain Naming System) configuration for resolution of APN (Access Point Name) domain names • SGTP (SGSN GPRS Tunneling Protocol) configuration The charging context facilitates the following: • Configuration of connectivity to the CGF (Charging Gateway Function) The following functionality is configured at the global or system level in the local management context: • NSEI (Network Service Entity Identity) configuration • SCCP (Signalling Connection Control Part) network configuration • SS7 (Signaling System 7) connectivity configuration • GTT (Global Title Translation) configuration To simplify configuration management, more contexts can be created to categorize the service configuration. Each context can be named as needed. The contexts listed above can be configured as illustrated in the figure on the next page. SGSN in a 2.5G GPRS Network 1 SGSN in a 2.5G GPRS Network 2.5G SGSN Configuration Components 2.5G SGSN Configuration Components In order to support 2.5G SGSN functionality, the system must be configured with at least one context for the GPRS service (2.5G SGSN service).

  • Bebras.Edu.Au
    bebras.edu.au Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge Tasks and Solutions 2014 Editors: Karsten Schulz, NICTA Sarah Hobson, Good News Lutheran School Acknowledgements We would like to thank the international Bebras Community for allowing us to use the tasks that they have developed over recent years. Bebras is a collective effort of many countries and we are grateful for the warm welcome that Australia has received. Team Australia’s buddy in the international Bebras Community is Team Germany, which has a long-standing involvement in Bebras since 2006. We have started to contribute Australian-made tasks back to the international Bebras community and are glad to be part of such a wonderful sharing group of countries. Special thanks goes to Eljakim Schrijvers from The Netherlands who is a master of the Bebras System and a key go-to person for Bebras Tasks. Computer science is a very international discipline, and Bebras embodies this principle outstandingly. We would like to thank the Australian Government as represented by the Department of Communications for providing funding to the Digital Careers Initiative which is running Bebras Australia. We would also like to thank the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) for providing advice regarding Bebras tasks. 2 Introduction About Bebras Australia The Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge was established in 2014 to enable Australian primary and secondary school students to have a go at Digital Technologies without programming. The format is designed to engage students in a light and problem-oriented way. For Australia, we have developed the two characters Bruce and Beatrix who accompany the students in many of the tasks.

  • Guide to WIPO's Services for Country Code Top-Level Domain Registries
    Guide to WIPO’s services for country code top-level domain registries Domain name registrations across country code top-level domains (“ccTLDs”) serve as important local business identifiers. Their number continues to increase over time. When trademark-related disputes arise, ccTLD registry operators often prefer to outsource case administration to WIPO – at no cost – for neutral and independent decision-making. Guide to WIPO’s services for country code top-level domain registries This guide presents ccTLD registry operators and national authorities with information on how to resolve third-party domain name disputes in a cost- and time-saving manner. The guide explains the main policy design features of a successful Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) system. It also provides information on the WIPO-created Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the possibility to tailor the UDRP for specific ccTLD requirements. 3 Guide to WIPO’s services for country code top-level domain registries WIPO can assist ccTLDs in a number of ways There are a variety of national, economic, cultural, and linguistic considerations that are important for the ccTLD community. To curb the abusive registration of domain names that conflict with intellectual property (IP) rights, and in particular to resolve disputes between third parties, WIPO’s ccTLD Program can assist ccTLDs in the following ways: Advice on Advice on Tailoring and registration new dispute updating terms and resolution existing dispute conditions policies resolution policies Free

  • Country Code Top-Level Domain (Cctld) Project for State of Kuwait
    Country Code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) Project for State of Kuwait Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) assigns, organizes, manages and codes the top domain names for the State of Kuwait (.kw) for access to the Internet in accordance with best practices and standards in this field, ensuring the efficiency, fairness and transparency for the beneficiaries. This includes the regulation and implementation of all regulations, policies and procedures in relation to the operation of the country code's top-level domain. What is a domain name? A domain name is the address and identity of any website. It is a means of accessing websites directly without having to search them in the search engines. The domain name is a system of converting IP addresses and numbers used to locate computers on the Internet. Domain names provide a system of easy-to-use Internet addresses that can be translated through the DNS - Domain Name System (a system that stores information related to Internet domain names in a decentralized database on the Internet) on the network. What is a ccTLD? Country code top-level domains or the highest country encoding range: used by an independent country or territory. It consists of two letters, such as .eg for Egypt or. sa for Saudi Arabia or .kw for the State of Kuwait. The registration of a domain name (.kw) became easy and smooth process after the establishment and launch of the electronic registration system for the management and operation of domains through the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority and the accredited registrars authorized by the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority and responsible for providing integrated registration services for those wishing to register (.Kw).
