Connectivity and Routing
EPG can be designed to use traffic separation purpose. Traffic separation
can be achieved by using one of the following solutions or both:
A single routing instance with firewall filters (the master routing instance)
Multiple routing instances (virtual routing instances)

Connectivity and Routing:
Configuring Multiple Routing Instances
Main Virtual Instances :
Traffic separation by main networks/interfaces.
Routing Instance Name Objective
Gi-vrf To separate network for Gi interface
Gn-vrf To separate network for Gn interface
Gom-vrf To separate network for O&M interface
Gy_Gx-vrf To separate network for Gy/Gx interface
IUPS-vrf To separate network for 3GDT interface

GTP Properties
[edit services epg pgw gtp]
keepalive-interval 200; Seconds between sending keepalive messages on idle path
t3-response-time 5; Seconds between control message retries
n3-requests 3; Total number of transmissions allowed for a control message
gn-s5-routing-instance Gn-vrf; Routing instance for GTP traffic
version-list 99; GTP version name
GTP-C tunnels the relevant session and mobility management
messages between the EPG and the SGSN and the MME. It is
responsible for establishment and administration of the GTP - User
plane (GTP-U) tunnels used for transporting the uplink and downlink
encapsulated Transfer (T-PDUs) containing the payload.

L2TP Configuration
In order to setup the GGSN and PDN Gateway (PGW) for L2TP, a P-GGSN2
or PB-GGSN3 Services Physical Interface Card (PIC) must be configured to
run L2TP software applications .
[edit services epg pgw apn apn-name]
l2tp {
l2tp-routing-instance routing-instance-name;
hide-avps;
lac-address-range lac-address-range;
lns {

}
user-password password;
}
proxy-lcp-timeout milliseconds;
retry-timeout seconds;
max-retry attempts;
mru bytes;
}

DHCP Configuration
When the EPG is configured to allocate IPv4 addresses from a configured DHCP
server, it requests IP addresses for each context from DHCP server and dynamically
allocate. But only IPv4 can be assigned by DHCP sever.
[edit services epg pgw apn]
apn01-inband-dhcp {
routing-instance Gi-vrf;
gi-address-range 20.255.20.0/27;
pdp-context {
creation unblocked;
address {
21.12.0.0/15;
}
address-allocation dhcp-client; [declaring
DHCP enabled enabled address allocation]
}
dhcp {
server {
10.0.0.1 {
retry 5;
timeout 4;
}
}
server {
10.0.0.2 {
retry 6;
timeout 4;

RADIUS Configuration
RADIUS AAA servers are configured per APN. If the RADIUS server is located in
the external Internet Protocol (IP) network defined for an APN, then it is called an
inband RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server is located outside the external IP
network defined for an APN, then it is called a shared RADIUS server, because a
shared RADIUS server can be associated with several APNs. A shared server can be
used for both accounting and authentication in several APNs.

}

PDP Context Properties Configuration
[edit services epg pgw pdp-context]
limit 300000;
payload-limit 98000;
policing {
maximum-bandwidth-uplink 11000;
maximum-bandwidth-downlink 84000;
}
Signaling {
sgsn-creates-per-second 1000
ggsn-deletes-per-second 1000
}
session-control {
idle-timeout default timeout 10 [*in minutes]
}
PDP context and EPS bearer properties are configured in Global level. These properties
is applied to all APNs. Some of the properties can be configured in APN level.

Quality of Service Configuration
The EPG controls the priority for handling different types of GPRS and EPS traffic
by using QoS classes. Under most circumstances, the default mapping works
properly. Modify the mappings only if there is contention for bandwidth among the
various traffic classes or to disable uplink DSCP remapping.
QoS Mappings
Uplink QoS Mappings
Downlink QoS Mappings
DSCP Names
Policing of PDP Context or EPS Bearer Bandwidth
Policing for the GGSN or PGW
Policing for an APN
Service Aware Bandwidth Management
Throughput Limitation Profile for SACC

Quality of Service Configuration:
QoS Mappings DL traffic are IP bearer packets arriving at GGSN on Gi interface
uplink-dscp-remapping {
background {
low-drop-precedence dscp-name;
medium-drop-precedence dscp-name;
high-drop-precedence dscp-name;
}
conversational-1 {

interactive-1 {
}
streaming-1 {
}
uplink-dscp-remapping {
background {
}
conversational-1 {
}
interactive-1 {
}
streaming-1 {
}

Quality of Service Configuration:
Policing of PDP Context By configuring the maximum BW for DL and UL traffic,
and thus enforcing boundaries, correct QoS negotiations can be ensured.
[edit services epg pgw apn apn-name pdp-context]
policing {
maximum-bandwidth-downlink value;
maximum-bandwidth-uplink value;
no-policing;
}
[edit services epg pgw rule-space name bandwidth-control] throughput-limitation
profile-name
{ access-control-rule 111 112 113]; }
[edit services epg pgw rule-space name bandwidth-control throughput-limitation
profile-name]
uplink-limitation 64;
downlink-limitation 128;
To configure a throughput limitation profile for SACC.

Configuring QoS Class for GTP-C Traffic
By configuring GTP-C QoS class, higher efficiency and reliability of signaling
packets can be ensured.
diffserv dscp-name;
By default, af31 is used, which is assured forwarding class 3, low drop precedence,
for all GTP-C traffic.
diffserv AF31;
allocation-retention-priority
{ high-priority value; medium-priority value; }
