CISCO-GTP-MIB

Description

This MIB module manages the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) on GGSN and SGSN. GPRS provides wireless access to packet data network on the GSM infrastructure. The following diagram illustrates a simplified GPRS logical architecture with the name of inter-node interface: +---------------------------------------------+ | a PLMN +======+ +======+ | | | SGSN | | AAA | | | +======+ +======+ | | | | | | Gn SGi | | | | | |+====+ +====+ +=====+ +======+ +======+ | +===+ || TE |-R-| MT |-| BSS |-| SGSN |-Gn-| GGSN |-|-Gi-|PDN| |+====+ +====+ +=====+ +======+ +======+ | +===+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------|----+ Gp | +-----------------------------+ | +====+ +=====+ +======+ | | | MS |---| BSS |---| SGSN | | | +====+ +=====+ +======+ | | | | other PLMN | +-----------------------------+ GTP is the protocol between GSN nodes (GSN peers) in the GPRS backbone network. It includes both the GTP signalling and data transfer procedures. GTP is used both on the Gn interface, i.e. the interface between GSN peers with in a PLMN, and the Gp interface between GSN peers in different PLMNs. SGSN is the serving GPRS support node, it responsible for the delivery of data packets from and to the MS within its service area. GGSN is the gateway GPRS support node, it provides interworking with external PDN and is connected with SGSNs via an IP-based GPRS backbone network. The GTP protocol is implemented only by SGSNs and GGSN. A PDP Context is an information set maintained by MS and GSNs which describes the mobile wireless service call or session. A Qos Profile is associated with each PDP context which defines multiple attributes like precedence, delay, reliability, peak throughput and mean throughput. Based on the precedence, delay and mean throughput an user is classified into one of the three Qos classes: Best Effort, Normal and Premium. Mean throughput is measured at the Gi and R reference points in units of octets per second. It specifies the average rate at which data is expected to be transferred across the GPRS network during the remaining lifetime of an activated PDP context. A MAP converting GSN is responsible for converting GTP messages to and from MAP messages. This helps in the communication with HLR.
