Address Formats
All AESA address formats consist of 20 octets. Each of these address formats contain
the following components:
Initial domain part (IDP) — Defines the type of address and the regulatory authority
responsible for allocating and assigning the Domain Specific Part. There are two
subfields: the AFI and IDI fields.
Authority and format identifier (AFI) – The AFI part of the AESA address
identifies the authority that allocates the DCC, ICD, or E.164 part of the AESA
address, as well as the syntax of the rest of the address. Table 16-1 lists the default
AFIs.
