CSCub16134 - Paging Load throttling
Feature Changes
Paging Load Throttling
The Page Throttling feature limits the number of paging messages going out of the SGSN. It provides flexibility and
control to the operator who can now reduce the number of paging messages going out from the SGSN based on the
network conditions. In some of the customer locations, the amount of paging messages initiated from the SGSN is very
high due to the bad radio conditions. A higher number of paging messages results in the consumption of bandwidth in
the network. This feature provides a configurable rate-limit, in which the paging message gets throttled at:

Global level for both 2G and 3G accesses
NSE level for 2G only
RNC level for 3G only
This feature improves the bandwidth consumption on the radio interface.
Command Changes
interface
The
interface
command is used to configure the mapping between the RNC Id and the RNC name. The operator can
configure the paging RLF template either by RNC name or RNC identifier.
config
sgsn-global
interface-management
[ no ] interface { gb peer-nsei | iu peer-rnc } { name <value> | id <value> }
exit
Notes:
The
no
form of the command removes the mapping and other configuration associated for the RNC paging-rlf-template
configuration from the SGSN and resets the behavior to default for that RNC.
Example configurations:
[local]SGSN1# configure
[local]SGSN1(config)# sgsn-global
[local]SGSN1(config-sgsn-global)# interface-management
[local]SGSN1(config-sgsn-interface-mgmt)# interface iu peer-rnc id 250 name
bng_rnc1
bng_rnc1
[local]SGSN1(config-sgsn-interface-mgmt)# end
