All data collected by the NE is formatted into standard XML file format and forwarded to the TCE via (S)FTP. The
specific format of the data is defined in 3GPP standard 3GPP TS 32.423 V8.2.0 (2009-09)

Trace Depth
The Trace Depth defines what data is to be traced. There are six depths defined: Maximum, Minimum, and Medium all
having with and without vendor extension flavors. The maximum level of detail results in the entire control message
getting traced and forwarded to the TCE. The medium and minimum define varying subsets of the control messages
(specific decoded IEs) to be traced and forwarded. The contents and definition of the medium and minimum trace can
be found in 3GPP standard 3GPP TS 32.423 V8.2.0 (2009-09).

Note: Only Maximum Trace Depth is supported in the current release.
Trace Scope
The Trace Scope defines what NEs and what interfaces have the tracing capabilities enabled on them. This is actually a
specific list of NE types and interfaces provided in the trace session configuration by the operator (either directly via a
management interface or indirectly via a signaling interface).
