Supported feature override
First Claim
1. A method performed by a network device for overriding supported features, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the network device, a message;
determining, in response to receiving the message, that a set of supported features should be transmitted to a partner device;
determining, based on the partner device, whether a default set of features should be overridden;
if the default set of supported features should be overridden, transmitting an alternative set of features to the partner device; and
if the default set of supported features should not be overridden, transmitting a standard set of features based on the default set of features to the partner device; and
wherein;
the message is received from another network device; and
the step of transmitting an alternative set of features to the partner device comprises;
identifying a set of allowed features based on a set of override features associated with the partner device,transmitting the set of allowed features to the partner device.

Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network node including one or more of the following: receiving, at the network device, a message; determining, in response to receiving the message, that a set of supported features should be transmitted to a partner device; determining, based on the partner device, whether a default set of features should be overridden; if the default set of supported features should be overridden, transmitting an alternative set of features to the partner device; and if the default set of supported features should not be overridden, transmitting a standard set of features based on the default set of features to the partner device.

7. A network device for overriding supported features, the network device comprising:
-
an interface that receives a message; a roaming communication module configured to, in response to the interface receiving the message, determine that a set of supported features should be transmitted to a partner device; a default override module configured to determine, based on the partner device, whether a default set of features should be overridden; and a feature list constructor configured to; if the default set of supported features should be overridden, generate a feature list including an alternative set of features, and if the default set of supported features should be overridden, generate a feature list including a standard set of features based on the default set of features; and a negotiation module configured to transmit the feature list to the partner device, and wherein; the message is received from another network device; the default override module is further configured to identify a set of allowed features based on a set of override features associated with the partner device; and in generating a feature list including the default set of features, the feature list constructor is configured to generate a feature list including the set of allowed features. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A tangible and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by a network device for overriding supported features, the tangible and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
-
instructions for receiving, at the network device, a message; instructions for determining, in response to receiving the message, that a set of supported features should be transmitted to a partner device; instructions for determining, based on the partner device, whether a default set of features should be overridden; instructions for if the default set of supported features should be overridden, transmitting an alternative set of features to the partner device; and instructions for if the default set of supported features should not be overridden, transmitting a standard set of features based on the default set of features to the partner device; and wherein; the message is received from another network device; and the instructions for transmitting an alternative set of features to the partner device comprise; instructions for identifying a set of allowed features based on a set of override features associated with the partner device, instructions for transmitting the set of allowed features to the partner device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
