GTP protocol
 GTP － GPRS Tunneling Protocol

 Function: Encapsulate the network layer packet( IP packet) in order to add
current user information (such as IMSI and TEID etc.) add source GSN IP and
destination GSN IP to tunnel the packet to destination GSN.

GTP protocol
 GTP protocol is made up of ：

 Path management
 Tunnel management
 Location management
 Mobility management
9
Path management
 Echo Request: find out if the peer GSN or RNC is alive

 Echo Response: a response to a received Echo Request
 Version Not Support: indicates the latest GTP version that the GTP entity on
the identified UDP/IP address can support
 Supported Extension Headers Notification: indicates a list of supported
Extension Headers that the GTP entity on the identified IP address can
support
10
Echo Request
 Echo Request
 An Echo Request may be sent on a path to another GSN or RNC to find out if
the peer GSN or RNC is alive (see section Path Failure). Echo Request
messages may be sent for each path in use.
 A path is considered to be in use if at least one PDP context uses the path to
the other GSN. When and how often an Echo Request message may be sent is
implementation specific but an Echo Request shall not be sent more often
than every 60 seconds on each path.
11
Echo Response
 Echo Response
 The message shall be sent as a response to a received Echo Request.

Version Not Support
 Version Not Support

 This message contains only the GTP header and indicates the latest GTP
version that the GTP entity on the identified UDP/IP address can support.
14
Supported Extension Headers Notification
 Supported Extension Headers Notification

 This message indicates a list of supported Extension Headers that the GTP
entity on the identified IP address can support. This message is sent only in
case a GTP entity was required to interpret a mandatory Extension Header but
the GSN or RNC was not yet upgraded to support that extension header. The
GTP endpoint at the GSN or RNC sending this message is marked as not
enabled to support some extension headers (as derived from the supported
extension header list).

GTP’ protocol
 GTP’ protocol － used between GSN and CG to transfer billing

data
 Path management: Provide two signals to detect if the path between GSN
and CG is available or not; provide a pair of redirection signal to establish
redundant billing channel
 CDR transfer: provide a pair of signal for normal CDR transfer (request and
response).
31
Redirection Req/Resp

to another CG (within the same
