Hi all,
I have set up the EGPRS network using software bundles (osmo-nitb + osmo-bts-trx + osmo-trx + osmo-pcu + osmo-sgsn + openggsn) based on the USRP B210 platform. Now the cell phone can connect to the EGPRS network, but the network is not stable and the data rate is too low (only about 8kbs).
Is this data rate correct? If not, could you pls send me some working config files? Thank you.
Best Regards,
Xinke
Hi,
I need to increase the throughput through the GTP tunnels to around 9Gb/s.
I have two servers and they are connected using two GTP tunnels over a
Mellanox 25Gb/s link. Via the tunnels I am seeing a total of 4.2 Gb/s to
4.5 Gb/s using iPerf.
If data is sent without the tunnels I see a throughput of around 24.5Gb/s.
I have tried various tweaks to improve the throughput over the GTP tunnels
and have only made marginal gains. I have tried iPerf 2.0.9 and iPerf3 and
see the same results. Wireshark shows the iPerf MTU is reflected in the
pcap logs.
I have tried changing the txqueuelen on the tunnels, changing osmo-ggsn
niceness, network buffer sizes etc.
The restriction seems to be osmo-ggsn as that is taking up to 92% CPU on
one of the cores when the throughput tests are running.
I'm hoping I have made a mistake in the configuration of OsmoGGSN and
sgsnemu.

The servers are running Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. 16GB RAM - 12.6GB free when
running throughput tests. Intel E52620v3. Mellanox MCX516A-CCAT network
adapter. 25Gb direct attach copper connecting the two servers OsmoGGSN
version 1.1.0.75-3e44-dirty.
For one of the servers: -

Hopefully I have provided enough information. Any ideas on how to increase
tunnel throughput?
Thanks
