D.1 GTP-C interfaces not supporting Load Control

Load Control has been designed as a generic mechanism possibly applicable to any GTP-C node. However, for the reasons clarified below, in the current release, Load Control is not supported for the following GTP-C based interfaces:

– S3, S10, S16 (limited GTP-C signalling traffic, to minimize impact to the MME/S4-SGSN);

– Sm, Sn (limited GTP-C signalling traffic, to avoid impact to the MBMS GW);

– Sv (limited GTP-C signalling traffic, to avoid impact to the legacy CS products);

– S101, S121 (to avoid impacts to the legacy HRPD products);

– Gn/Gp (to avoid impact to the legacy Gn-SGSN/GGSN products and GTPv1-C protocol).
