ConnectionIn this document, connection refers to an IAP level connection. If two applications have a data connection activated with the same IAP (and therefore the same network interface), the number of connections is 1. Identified with a connection ID.
SubconnectionA PDP context within a certain IAP. The existing connection has always at least one subconnection. Currently valid only in case of GPRS/UMTS. If secondary PDP contexts are not used, subconnection means almost the same as connection. Identified with a subconnection ID. Support for sub- connections is not implemented.
Client of connectionAn application using a certain connection. Identified with UID.
Internal connectionAn internal connection has been started by an application running in the phone.
External connectionAn external connection has been started by an application running e.g. in the PC and the phone is used in modem mode.
IAP availabilityAn IAP is available, if there is an active connection through this IAP, or there is a possibility to start a connection through this IAP right away.
SNAP availabilityA SNAP is available, if there is any available IAP inside this SNAP.
