Name Description

This measurement provides the number of active PDP contexts, that is, the gauge is increm

Note: The triggering and clearing levels needs to be changed manually or by triggering a sm
when the PDP capacity license value is changed.

3.12 Attached Users per Routing Area

The attached users per routing area KPI denotes the number of SAU per RA in
the SGSN-MME.

3.13 S4 Downlink Packet Throughput

S4 Downlink Packet Throughput

S4DownlinkPktThroughput =

The packet throughput is given in kpps when dividing with the length of the
measurement interval in seconds.

Description of Included Counters

Name Description
This measurement provides the number of GTP data PDUs which have been accepted and proc
GTP.InDataPktS4 by the GTP entity on the S4 interface. Note: The counter includes the total number of GTP pack
sent, regardless of the GTP version.

The throughput is given in Mbps when dividing with the length of the
measurement interval in seconds.

Description of Included Counters

Name Description
This measurement provides the number of octets in incoming GTP data packets on the Gn inter
