The figure does not show different types of ASs (see Section 2.2.3 for more details).
The figure does not show the user-plane connections between different IMS networks and the AS.
The figure does not show the SEG at the Mm, Mk, Mw reference points.
The dotted line between the entities indicates a direct link.
