I found it in osmo-msc.git/src/libvlr/vlr_lu_fsm.c; it is not spelled out or described there, and git blame points to the big "Add libvlr implementation" commit with no further description of what PVLR is. With online research I figured, that it probably means Proxy Visitor Location Register. But researching further, it seems to be "Previous VLR" as noted in Figure 4.1.2.7 (sheet 1 of 1): Process Send_Identification_PVLR of TS 23.012. I'll remove this from the patch. -- To view, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/12567 To unsubscribe, or for help writing mail filters, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/settings Gerrit-Project: osmo-gsm-manuals Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Change-Id: I054a8599a78eb5e62ab7af914875e1c8a992af71 Gerrit-Change-Number: 12567 Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 Gerrit-Owner: osmith Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins Builder (102) Gerrit-Reviewer: Neels Hofmeyr Gerrit-Reviewer: osmith Gerrit-Comment-Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 09:46:24 + Gerrit-HasComments: Yes Gerrit-HasLabels: No
