CAMEL Application Part (CAP) is based on Intelligent Network capability sets with enhancements specific to a mobile domain. The CAP protocol sits at the same level as INAP in the SS7 protocol suite.

The Initial Detection Point message in CAP is an expanded version of the IDP message in INAP. It adds mobility related elements such as the IMSI of the calling party and the address of the Mobile Switching Center that the calling party is attached to.

CAMEL Application Part (CAP) is a real time protocol used to support the information flows between IN (GSM Intelligent Network) entities such as the SCP (Service control Point) and SSP (Service Switching Point).


The protocol is specified in TS 09.78
