Containerized Interworking Functions

Interworking Functions are dedicated to the conversion of one telecom interface to another. They act as a gateway between existing elements and newer elements introduced in a network or to bridge gaps when it comes to the inter-connection of two networks using different technologies or different telecom protocols. These functions are also referred as Gateways and usually implement standard telecom protocol conversions and do not require an AF to implement some service logic.
