Ok -- I'll keep it simple until we see a need for more elaborate paging timeout semantics. So, I will actually keep the timeout on gsm_subscriber level for now, but will gladly change that when reasons to do so come up.
Also, could someone please explain the 20 slots and "give credit" semantics I mentioned above?
the ip.access nanoBTS crashed with too much paging, it crashed before it would send out watermark information that would have allowed us to throttle/stop paging. So the "slots" is a way to make proprietary equipment work.
Ok, so it does at most 20 pagings and then waits 5 seconds before firing the next 20. BTW, re give_credit(): the meaning of "to give credit to someone" is more like acknowledging that someone has done something well (Anerkennung geben). That's why I was unsure about its purpose. ~Neels -- - Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschäftsführer / Managing Directors: Holger Freyther, Harald Welte
