AC I know weell – I completle agree with you, but last week I found in MAP specs in ASN.1 MAP description part version related to overal MAP???
MAP-DialogueInformation:
ccitt identified-organization (4) etsi (0) mobileDomain (0) gsm-Network(1) modules (3) map-CommonDataTypes (18) version2 (2) in 09.02 V5.3.0 (Rel 96)
ccitt identified-organization (4) etsi (0) mobileDomain (0) gsm-Network (1) modules (3) map-DialogueInformation (3) version3 (3) in 09.02 V5.19.0 (Rel 96)
ccitt identified-organization (4) etsi (0) mobileDomain (0) gsm-Network (1) modules (3) map-DialogueInformation (3) version4 (4) in 09.02 V6.14.0 (Rel 97)
ccitt identified-organization (4) etsi (0) mobileDomain (0) gsm-Network (1) modules (3) map-DialogueInformation (3) version5 (5) in 09.02 V7.15.0 (Rel 98)
ccitt identified-organization (4) etsi (0) mobileDomain (0) gsm-Network (1) modules (3) map-DialogueInformation (3) version6 (6) in 29.002 V3.18.0 (Rel 99)
This should be version declared by producer of network blocks but Im realy not sure, because as I know producers declare usually that they support version 3. But today definitely implemetations support MAP Release 99 (V6???) But I newer have seen declaration of supporting of V6. I believed to varinat posted by Mohsin until I found in specs info described above (this was actualy impuls to put my the first post last week).
By releasese of course I mean Release 96, 97, 98, 99 Rel4 Rel4 etc. – releases of (ETSI, 3GPP)standards.
