SCM in a GSM/UMTS Data Network Deployment
CSCF / A-BG / GGSN Deployment
The SCM is designed to function within a UMTS GGSN network. As shown in following figure, the SCM supports a
number of interfaces used to communicate with other components in an IMS environment and supports the interface
used to bridge the GGSN network.

Logical Network Interfaces (Reference Points)
Interfaces, used to support IMS in a UMTS network, can be defined within two categories: SIP and DIAMETER. The
SCM incorporates standards-based interfaces for both SIP and DIAMETER network architectures.
SIP Interfaces
The following table provides descriptions of SIP interfaces supported by the SCM in a GSM/UMTS network
deployment.
