Hello Anders!

Understood. Concerning GTP I can say from practical experience that it has
happened that some mobile phone operators send one RAI value and a different
ULI parameter.

For example Telefonica Spain:

-----------------------------
Dear colleagues,

We use this MNC 99 in ULI (user location information) for some of our services.

Anyway, please you can use MNC in RAI (routing area identity) field. In RAI you
can see the right MNC 07 and MCC 214.
-----------------------------

Meaning they send MCC 214 MNC 07 in the RAI and MCC 214 MNC 99 in the ULI.

I doubt that this is correct behavior of Telefonica, however with the current
Wireshark implementation it is not possible to filter these cases out. Also I
cannot estimate what parameter has a higher priority when I use e212.mcc and
e212.mnc.
