packet filters per bearer

in LteWorld Forum

Hi,
Is there any limitation of packet filters per bearer(TFT).

From 24.008 (referenced by

From 24.008 (referenced by 24.301): The traffic flow template is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 3 octets. The maximum length for the IE is 257 octets.

NOTE 1: The IE length restriction is due to the maximum length that can be encoded in a single length octet.

NOTE 2: A maximum size IPv4 packet filter can be 32 bytes. Therefore, 7 maximum size IPv4 type packet filters, plus the last packet filter which can contain max 30 octets can fit into one TFT, i.e. if needed not all packet filter components can be defined into one message. A maximum size Ipv6 packet filter can be 60 bytes. Therefore, only 4 maximum size IPv6 packet filters can fit into one TFT. However, using "Add packet filters to existing TFT", it's possible to create a TFT including 16 maximum size Ipv4 or IPv6 filters.
