3.5.2.4 ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools
The Load Balancing feature provides a WiMAX operator with the capability to build resilient ASN
infrastructure using ASN-GW redundancy. Every BS is provisioned with two lists of redundant ASN-GWs
(pools). The BS applies round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that
performs initial network entry (for more details refer to “ASN-GW Load Balancing” on page 77). This
should eventually distribute the load between Anchor ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be
achieved by using different priority of ASN-GW pools (Authenticator “metric”.
At the unit (BTS) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to 10 ASN-GWs, can be
defined. Each BS will “inherit” these pools.
The ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools submenu includes two options: Primary Pool and Secondary Pool.
Select the Primary or Secondary Pool option to view or update the pool’s content. The options available
for each pool are:
Show: Select this option to view the current content of the pool.
Add: Select this option to add an ASN-GW address to the pool (up to a maximum of 10 addresses per
pool). You will be prompted to define the Index for the entry (a unique number in the range from 1 to
10) before defining the IP Address. An IP Address must be unique per both pools. Broadcast and
Multicast addresses are not legal. By default both pools are empty.
Select: Use this option to select an existing entry in the pool by it’s Index. You can then view the
entry’s IP Address, update the IP Address, or delete the entry.
Note that you should not populate the Secondary Pool if the Primary Pool is empty. Also, you should not
delete all entries from the Primary Pool if the Secondary Pool is not empty.
A change in the content of the pools will take effect after next reset.
