Performance Improvement Commands
In the event that an issue of IPC message latency towards core network was discovered with HNB-GW service, it may
be necessary to take corrective/preventive action.

The system provides a latency reduction mechanisms in SGSN Global Service Configuration Mode to address latency
issues in order to minimize the latency towards core network. These mechanism is described in the section that follow.

Turning off IPC Message Aggregation To Reduce Latency Towards Core
Network
This command enables/disables aggregation of IPC messages in the link manager (linkmgr) and session manager
(sessmgr).
(sessmgr).
This command includes options to configure the frequency of aggregated message flushing and the number of packets to
be buffered before the flush.
be buffered before the flush.
At the HNB-GW node, this command provides a solution to reduce latency while sending the IPC messages toward CN.
Important:
This command must be executed from SGSN Global Service Configuration Mode within
the context in which the HNB-GW service is configured. Refer Command Line Interface Reference for more
information on this command.
