Achieving IP Signaling Applications’ Advertised Capacity

A goal of properly engineered networks is to eliminate congestion. Advertised Capacity refers to the maximum TPS that can be sustained without congestion. Several factors affect TPS calculations and must be considered when calculating the expected throughput for the IPLIMx, IPGWx and IPSG applications.

The IPGWx application implements traffic flow control based upon the TPS value allocated to its signaling link, which is derived from the iptps parameter setting of its linkset. Presenting a load in excess of the signaling link TPS value will result in congestion.
