Marco and colleagues,
 
MSCC provides a mechanism that allows multiple (sub)services in one credit control session.  I noticed that Service-Identifier is included in MSCC to differentiate services.  To my understanding, the use of Service-Identifier is not intended to identify run-time service instances.  If there are multiple services instances of the same type (e.g., voice service) within one credit control session, and a separate credit pool shall be maintained for each of the instance, do we have a mechanism to associate MSCCs to their corresponding service instances?  If not, do we need to introduce a Service-Instance-Identifier in MSCC?
 
Thanks,
 
Enoch
