> Caution: This is a critical configuration. The MME service can not be started without this configuration. Any change to this configuration would lead to restarting the MME service. Removing or disabling this configuration will stop the MME service.
> Example
> The following command associates a pre-configured eGTP service called egtp1 in the dst_ctx context to an MME service:

> Congestion policies at the service-level can be configured for service. When congestion control functionality is enabled at service level, these policies dictate how services respond should the system detect that a congestion condition threshold has been crossed.
> Example
> The following command sets the nw call connect policy to reject the new session/call request in an MME service:
> policy overload reject
> policy pdn-reconnection
> This command configures the action by the MME when a PDN connection request to an already connected APN is being processed by the MME service.
> Product
> MME
> Privilege
> Administrator
> Syntax
> policy pdn-reconnection { multiple | reject | restart }
> [ default ] policy pdn-reconnection
> default
> Sets the policy of PDN reconnection to its default behavior of reject.
> multiple
> Default: Disabled
> This keyword allows multiple connections to a PDN with same APN and PDN Type. In this case, the existing connection is left unchanged, and the MME attempts to establish an additional connection to the PDN.
> reject
> Default: Enabled
> This keyword configures set the action of MME to deny or reject the request, by sending a PDN connection reject command. This is the default behavior.
> restart
> Default: Disabled
> This keyword deletes the existing connection and initiate an attempt to establish a new connection.
> Usage
> Use this command to set the user-defined policies for PDN reconnection attempt procedures initiated by UE in an MME service.
> While a UE is attached, the UE can request connections to PDNs. The PDNs are identified by APN (Access Point Name) and PDN Type (ipv4, ipv6 or ipv4v6).
> If the UE requests connection to a PDN for which a connection with the same APN name and PDN type already exists, the MME can; 1) deny or Reject the request, by sending a PDN connection reject command; 2) allow multiple connections to a PDN with same APN and PDN Type; or 3) delete the existing connection, and attempt to establish a new connection.
> Example
> The following command sets the PDN reconnect policy to delete the existing PDN and start the attempt to establish a new connection in an MME service:
> policy pdn-reconnection restart
