Application Context Name (ACN)

The application context (AC) is the mechanism for identifying the protocol and the protocol version of an application part (AP). The object identifier is used to assign a globally unique identifier to a protocol object, such as an AC for CAP. When the gsmSSF starts the CAMEL service, by sending the initial DP operation to the SCP, it includes the AC in the service invocation request.
