Every GMM message contains a Skip Indicator IE. A Skip Indicator coded anything other than 0000 shall be ignored. Every SM message contains the Transaction Identifier IE. The TI allows to distinguish up to 16 different bi-directional messages flows for a given PD and a given SAP. For Extended TI, up to 256 different bi-directional messages flows can be distinguished.
