16,000 SGSN Support
With growing roaming agreements, many more GPRS/UMTS networks support certain APNs and therefore the number
of SGSNs that could connect to the GGSN increases. This feature increases the number of connected SGSNs thereby
allowing a single GGSN service to support a much larger roaming network.

allowing a single GGSN service to support a much larger roaming network.
The GGSN service supports a maximum of 16,000 SGSN IP addresses. The chassis limit for bulk statistics collection is
also limit to 16,000. No change in configuration is needed to support this feature.

AAA Server Groups
Value-added feature to enable VPN service provisioning for enterprise or MVNO customers. Enables each corporate
customer to maintain its own AAA servers with its own unique configurable parameters and custom dictionaries.
customer to maintain its own AAA servers with its own unique configurable parameters and custom dictionaries.
This feature provides support for up to 800 AAA (RADIUS and Diameter) server groups and 800 NAS IP addresses that
can be provisioned within a single context or across the entire chassis. A total of 128 servers can be assigned to an
individual server group. Up to 1,600 accounting, authentication and/or mediation servers are supported per chassis and
may be distributed across a maximum of 1,000 APNs. This feature also enables the AAA servers to be distributed across
multiple APN within the same context.

Important:
Due to additional memory requirements, this service can only be used with 8GB minimum packet
processing cards.

Access Control List Support
Access Control Lists provide a mechanism for controlling (i.e permitting, denying, redirecting, etc.) packets in and out
of the system.
of the system.
IP access lists, or Access Control Lists (ACLs) as they are commonly referred to, are used to control the flow of packets
into and out of the system. They are configured on a per-context basis and consist of ―rules‖ (ACL rules) or filters that
control the action taken on packets that match the filter criteria

Once configured, an ACL can be applied to any of the following:
An individual interface
All traffic facilitated by a context (known as a policy ACL)
