The congestion objects provide a facility for managing the call congestion on the

Spacevars
0product
server. Following system congestion levels are defined in this section, with each level representing an increasing severity of congestion within the
Spacevars
0product
:

...

  • CPU utilization on server
  • Memory utilization on server

By configuring the Overload Profile appropriately, some of the congestion criteria can trigger a change in the congestion level.

During a sustained system load, the

Spacevars
0product
accepts calls at a smooth rate, avoiding behavior such as accepting all calls for a short period of time, and then rejecting all calls for the remaining sampling period. This is accomplished with system-level policers. Unlike IP Traffic Policers--which control the allowed rate of incoming IP packets, congestion policers control the allowed rate of incoming calls in a system. Individually configurable bucket sizes (POLICER BUCKETSIZE) control the call burst handling capability. The policer fill rate controls the sustained rate (the rate at which tokens are added to the bucket). In this case, the fill rate is the sustained call rate allowed at calls per second (CPS). Fill rates are not configurable when using congestion policers; instead, they are dynamically adjusted based on resource usage, to maximize those resources.

Congestion Commands

The

Spacevars
0series4
detects congestion by monitoring a time-decaying average of the CPU utilization. It also monitors the Internal Round-Trip Time (IRTT) during call setup for determining whether the
Spacevars
0product
is in congestion. When congestion (for either reason) is detected and the congestion level reaches MC2, the SBC activates a control algorithm which adaptively throttles calls to eliminate the congestion while still maximizing the call throughput.

On SBC main screen, go to All > System > Congestion. The Congestion window is displayed. The Congestion Commands panel appears at the bottom
