The GTP effort is a statement of the requirement of the list of CTPs for a new GTP. If SAME is specified then the EMS must create the GTP with the exact same list of CTPs as provided with the GTP creation request. Further, if the NMS uses SAME, it is assume that the EMS will not modify the CTP list comprising the GTP at some later point (unless requested by the NMS via the modifyGroupTerminetionPoint operation). If WHATEVER is specified then the EMS may comply with the total bandwidth requirement by using a different set of CTPs.  

Note: If the NMS requests a GTP with gtpEffort equal to SAME, this also implies that the EMS will not modify on its own, i.e., the EMS will only modify the GTP if requested by the NMS via the modifyGroupTerminationPoint operation.
