Capacity Configuration Sets Elements
Field (* indicates field is required) Description Data Input Notes
* Capacity Configuration Set Name of the Capacity Configuration Set. The Name must be unique.

Format: String: case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); must contain at least one alpha; cannot begin with a digit.

Range: 1 - 32 characters

* Reserved Ingress MPS

Rate in messages per second for which resources are explicitly reserved for Diameter connections using this Capacity Configuration Set to process ingress Diameter signaling. These resources cannot be used by any other connection, regardless of the load offered to other connections.

The sum of Reserved Ingress MPS for all connections on an MP server cannot exceed the maximum capacity of the MP server.

Format: numeric

Range: 0, 10 - 5000 Ingress messages per second

Default: 0

* Maximum Ingress MPS

Maximum Ingress messages per second that a Diameter connection using this Capacity Configuration Set is allowed to process.

The Maximum Ingress MPS must be equal to or greater than the Reserved Ingress MPS.

Any difference between the Maximum Ingress MPS and the Reserved Ingress MPS represents MP server resources that are shared among connections that have Maximum Ingress MPS greater than Reserved Ingress MPS.

Format: numeric

Range: 10 - 5000 Ingress messages per second

Default: 5000

* Ingress MPS Minor Alarm Threshold (Percent)

Percentage of Maximum Ingress MPS at which a minor alarm will be raised for connections that use this Capacity Configuration Set.

After an alarm is raised, it will not be cleared until the average Ingress MPS falls 5% below this value.

The Ingress MPS Minor Alarm Threshold must be less than the Ingress MPS Major Alarm Threshold.

Format: numeric

Range: 10 - 99 percent

Default: 50 percent

* Ingress Major Alarm Threshold (Percent)

Percentage of Maximum Ingress MPS at which a major alarm will be raised for connections that use this Capacity Configuration Set.

After an alarm is raised, it will not be cleared until the average Ingress MPS falls 5% below this value.

The Ingress MPS Major Alarm Threshold must be grerater than the Ingress MPS Minor Alarm Threshold.

Format: numeric

Range: 11 - 100 percent

Default: 80 percent

* Reserved Ingress MPS Abatement Time Time (in ms) that a DSR Connection's ingress message rate must remain less than or equal to Reserved Ingress MPS, after exceeding Reserved Ingress MPS, in order to revert the ingress traffic color from Yellow to Green.

Format: numeric

Range: 1000 - 5000 ms

Default: 2000 ms
