10 * Class to hold the Application Manager Identification which is the handle that identifies the Application Manager
11 * and Application Type.
13 * From the Packetcable Multimedia specification section 6.1.2
16 * The AMID consists of two fields: the Application Manager Tag and Application
17 * Type. Each Application Manager is pre-provisioned with an Application Manager
18 * Tag that is unique within the universe of a single service provider. The
19 * Application Manager may also be pre-provisioned with a set of Application
20 * Type values that can be used to identify the particular application that a
21 * gate is associated with. The Application Manager includes the AMID in all
22 * messages that it issues to the Policy Server. The Policy Server transparently
23 * passes this information to the CMTS via Gate Control messages. The CMTS MUST
24 * return the AMID associated with the Gate to the Policy Server. The Policy
25 * Server uses this information to associate Gate messages with a particular
26 * Application Manager and Application Type.
29 * The Application Manager Tag MUST be a globally unique value assigned to the
30 * Application Manager by the service provider. The Application Manager MUST use
31 * the assigned Application Manager Tag in all its interactions with Policy
32 * Servers. Note that since the Application Manager may be operated by a third
33 * party, and a single Application Manager could interact with multiple service
34 * provider operators, a single physical Application Manager may be provisioned
35 * with multiple Application Manager Tags, and multiple Application Type sets
36 * (one for each configured Application Manager Tag).
