In the case this context is resulting from a PDN connectivity Request piggybacked on an Attach Request, should we assume that that this initial context could be an MMS or a private corporate VPN related context? My assumption would be that in this particular case that the context is an "internet" or an "IMS" context. The reception of an MMS "push" over SMS on the circuit switched domain could provoke the attach, but I would guess in this case that: a second context initiated by the UE is used specifically for the MMS or the PDN connectivity request includes a MMS APN with an ESM information transfer flag to transfer securely the "login and password" required to download the MMS. I can also hardly imagine that an initial bearer context being a "VPN" specific bearer. But, maybe I'm wrong.
