GGSN Changes in Release 14.0

GGSN Feature Changes as of June 29, 2012

This section provides information on GGSN feature changes in release 14.0.

IMPORTANT:

For more information regarding features in this section, refer to the GGSN Administration Guide for this release.

New GGSN Features

This section identifies new GGSN features available in release 14.0.

APN-AMBR Support

The APN-AMBR (Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate) limits the aggregated bit rate that can be expected to be provided across all non-GBR PDP contexts/bearers and across all PDN connections of the same APN. APN-AMBR value is transferred over the Gn and Gx interface.

APN-AMBR is enforced at GGSN to rate limit the traffic across all non-GBR bearers. If APN-AMBR is not supported by SGSN in the network, GGSN derives APN-AMBR AVP to be sent to PCRF in CCR-I from MBR of the initial PDP context received from SGSN. When MBR of any PDP context gets changed by SGSN, GGSN locally authorizes requested MBR unless it is higher than APN-AMBR. In such case, GGSN can either lower the requested MBR or reject it based on local configuration.

Traffic Policing and Shaping

The Cisco GGSN offers a variety of traffic conditioning and bandwidth management capabilities. These tools enable usage controls to be applied on a per-subscriber, per-EPS bearer or per-PDN/APN basis. It is also possible to apply bandwidth controls on a per-APN AMBR capacity. These applications provide the ability to inspect and maintain state for user sessions or Service Data Flows (SDFs) within them using shallow L3/L4 analysis or high touch deep packet inspection at L7. Metering of out-of-profile flows or sessions can result in packet discards or reducing the DSCP marking to Best Effort priority. When traffic shaping is enabled the GGSN enqueues the nonconforming session to the provisioned memory limit for the user session. When the allocated memory is exhausted, the inbound/outbound traffic for the user can be transmitted or policed in accordance with operator provisioned policy

DHCPv6 Support

Corrected Content: This section includes corrections to previously published content. Additional feature details have been added.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv6 enables the DHCP servers to pass the configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes. It offers the capability of allocating the reusable network addresses and additional configuration functionality automatically.

The DHCPv6 support does not just feature the address allocation, but also fulfills the requirements of Network Layer IP parameters. Apart from these canonical usage modes, DHCPv6's Prefix-Delegation (DHCP-PD) has also been standardized by 3GPP (Rel 10) for “network-behind-ue” scenarios. GGSN manages IPv6 prefix life-cycle just like it manages IPv4 addresses, thus it is responsible for allocation, renew, and release of these prefixes during the lifetime of a call. IPv6 prefixes may be obtained from either local-pool, AAA (RADIUS/DIAMETER) or external DHCPv6 servers. Stateless DHCPv6 procedures are used to supply higher layer IP parameters to the end host.

This DHCPv6 support for GGSN covers below requirement in release 14.0:

RFC 3633, prefix delegation and Stateless services (primarily via the INFORMATION-REQUEST) mechanism
RFC 2132, DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions
RFC 4039, Rapid Commit Support

This feature encompasses a number of CLI command changes. Refer to the New, Modified, and Deprecated GGSN Configuration Commands sections in this chapter for additional information.

Dual-stack IP Addresses

Omitted Content: This change occurred in the June 29, 2012 code drop but was omitted from this document until now.

This feature adds support for dual stack user layer and the dual address bearer flag on the Gn interface on the GGSN/P-GW. During inter-RAT mobility between 4G and 3G/2G, an EPS bearer with PDN type IPv4v6 is mapped one-to-one to PDP type IPv4v6.

Dynamic GTP Echo Timer

The dynamic echo timer has been added in this release to enable the GGSN and GTP-U services to better manage GTP paths during network congestion. As opposed to the default echo timer, which uses fixed intervals and retransmission timers, the dynamic echo timer uses a calculated round trip timer (RTT) that is generated once a full request/response procedure has completed. A multiplier can be added to the calculation for additional support during congestion periods.

This feature encompasses a number of command changes. Refer to the New, Modified and Deprecated, GGSN Commands sections in this chapter for additional information.

IMS Emergency Session Support

Emergency bearer services are provided to support IMS emergency sessions. Emergency bearer services are functionalities provided by the serving network when the network is configured to support emergency services. These services are provided to normal attached UEs and depending on local regulation, to UEs that are in limited service state. Receiving emergency services in limited service state does not require a subscription. Depending on local regulation and an operator's policy, the SGSN may allow or reject an emergency attach request for UEs in limited service state.

Following four different behaviors of emergency bearer support are included:

Valid UEs Only: No limited service state UEs are supported in the network. Only normal UEs that have a valid subscription, are authenticated and authorized for PS service in the attached location are allowed. It is not expected that a normal UE would perform an emergency attach. Normal UEs should be attached to the network and then perform a PDN Connection Request when an IMS emergency session is detected by the UE.
Authenticated UEs Only: These UEs must have a valid IMSI. These UEs are authenticated and may be in limited service state due to being in a location that they are restricted from service. A UE that cannot be authenticated will be rejected.
IMSI Required, Authentication Optional: These UEs must have an IMSI. If authentication fails, the UE is granted access and the unauthenticated IMSI retained in the network for recording purposes. The IMEI is used in the network as the UE identifier. IMEI only UEs will be rejected (e.g., UICCless UEs).
All UEs: Along with authenticated UEs, this includes UEs with an IMSI that cannot be authenticated and UEs with only an IMEI. If an unauthenticated IMSI is provided by the UE, the unauthenticated IMSI is retained in the network for recording purposes. The IMEI is used in the network to identify the UE.

Support of ULI/RAI Generation

User Location Information and Routing Area Identity (ULI/RAI) IEs in Create PDP Context Request message identify the Location Area for the UE. This information is passed on the interfaces like Gx, Gy, and Ga. There are circumstances when this information (ULI/RAI) does not come from SGSN, but it has to be relayed on these interfaces.

Release 14.0 onwards, the support has been provided to generate ULI/RAI based on certain CLI configurations on GGSN if it has not come from SGSN.

User Location Change Reporting Support

The user information change reporting is enabled on GGSN via PCRF using GPRS specific event triggers and GPRS specific credit re-authorization triggers. The user information to be reported include Location Change Reporting (ULI) and Closed Subscriber Group Information Change reporting (UCI).

For Location change reporting for a subscriber session requested by GGSN, the SGSN includes the User Location Information (ULI) if the MS is located in a RAT Type of GERAN, UTRAN or GAN. It also includes the CGI, SAI or RAI depending on whether the MS is in a cell, a service or a routing area respectively. The SGSN may optionally include the User Location Information for other RAT Types.

Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) identifies a group of subscribers who are permitted to access one or more CSG cells of the PLMN as a member of the CSG. A CSG ID is a unique identifier within the scope of PLMN which identifies a CSG in the PLMN associated with a CSG cell or group of CSG cells. For CSG info change reporting for a subscriber session requested by GGSN, the SGSN includes the User CSG Information if the MS is located in the CSG cell or the hybrid cell.

Modified GGSN Features

This section identifies GGSN features modified in release 14.0 and contains two types of modifications: enhancements and behavior changes. Feature enhancements are modifications based on customer change requests. Feature behavior changes are modifications based on software error corrections (bug fixes) that result in a change in the behavior of the feature.

APN Enhancement

Omitted Content: This change occurred in the June 29, 2012 code drop but was omitted from this document until now.

Support for 2048 APNs and Virtual APNs per chassis.

Previous Behavior: Up to 1024 APNs can be configured on the GGSN.

New Behavior:Up to 2048 APNs can be configured on the GGSN.

Incorrect RAT and Missing ULI in Acct-stop for Failed Gn-Gp Handoff

Previous Behavior: GTPv2 User Location Information (ULI) and GTPv2 RAT Type information during the PGW-GGSN handoff was retained.

New Behavior: GTPv2 ULI and GTPv2 RAT Type information during PGW-GGSN handoff is now discarded, and before the call processing this information is transferred to GGSN.

IP Pool Optimization

Omitted Content: This change occurred in the June 29, 2012 code drop but was omitted from this document until now.

This feature allows utilizing a smaller IP pool internally, but advertising a larger IP pool on external routes.

Previous Behavior: IP pool code generates the pool route, based on the IP pool range.

New Behavior: A new pool-route option has been added to the ip pool command to support this feature. When IP pool route is configured, the default fragments are not generated/installed, rather pool route based fragment would be created and installed in the kernel as a route.

Refer to the ip pool command in the Modified GGSN Configuration Commands section in this chapter for additional information.
