Recovery

The percent utilization of the VSTP's link congestion is approaching its maximum capacity. If this problem persists and the queue reaches 100% utilization based on the level defined, alarm is generated.

This alarm should not normally occur when no other congestion alarms are asserted. This may occur for a variety of reasons:
  • An IP network or Adjacent node problem may exist preventing SCTP from transmitting messages into the network at the same pace that messages are being received from the network.
  • The SCTP Association may be experiencing a problem preventing it from processing events from its event queue.
  1. Examine the alarm logs from Main Menu > Alarms & Events.
  2. If one or more MPs in a server site have failed, the traffic will be distributed amongst the remaining MPs in the server site. MP server status can be monitored from Main Menu > Status & Control > Server Status.
  3. There may be an insufficient number of MPs configured to handle the network traffic load. The egress traffic rate of each MP can be monitored from Main Menu > Status & Control > KPI Display. If all MPs are in a congestion state then the offered load to the server site is exceeding its capacity.
  4. It is recommended to contact My Oracle Support for assistance if needed.
