4.18.8. S6aImmediateResponsePreferred Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

This flag defines whether Immediate-Response-Preferred attribute is sent with S6a/S6d Authentication-Information-Request (AIR) command. This is not set by default. Enabling this parameter may cause the HSS to send less than requested number of authentication vectors. EAP-SIM requires three sets of authentication vectors and allowing the HSS to generate them all before responding reduces the need for multiple round trips to collect the required number of vectors.
