Licensing [Документация VAS Experts]

Licensing

  • Stingray Service Gateway (SSG) liceinsing depends on the bandwidth and its features.
  • The license is time-unlimited.
  • Technical support is not included in the license and is paid separately.

SSG licensing

Bandwidth

Licenses grading of the bandwidth: SSG-6/10/20/40/60/80/100/120/200. Pay attention to the hardware requirements!
Depending on the installation scheme, the following restrictions are assumed:

1. When installing "in line" scheme

  • SSG-6 corresponds to 5Gb/s of incoming and to 1Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-10 corresponds to 8Gb/s of incoming and to 2Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-20 corresponds to 15Gb/s of incoming and to 5Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-40 corresponds to 30Gb/s of incoming and to 10Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-60 corresponds to 45Gb/s of incoming and to 15Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-80 corresponds to 60Gb/s of incoming and to 20Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-100 corresponds to 75Gb/s of incoming and to 25Gb/s of outgoing traffic
  • SSG-120 corresponds to 90Gb/s of incoming and to 30Gb/s of outgoing traffic
Licensing includes ISP traffic asymmetry. Usually, the incoming traffic is three times more than the outgoing one.
For example, Incoming - 6G, Outgoing - 2G. License - SSG-10.

2. When installing using the "mirror" scheme

  • SSG-6 corresponds to 6Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-10 corresponds to 10Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-20 corresponds to 20Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-40 corresponds to 40Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-60 corresponds to 60Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-80 corresponds to 80Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-100 corresponds to 100Gb/s of total incoming traffic
  • SSG-120 corresponds to 120Gb/s of total incoming traffic

License Exceeding

If the bandwidth license parameters are exceeded, SSG will process traffic until the platform reserves are exhausted. Once the platform capacity is exhausted, processing errors will occur and traffic degradation will occur. You can limit the bandwidth yourself by polysizing: Common and Virtual Channels Policing, this is only relevant when the total port throughput exceeds the license bandwidth parameters.

VAS Experts reserves the right to refuse technical support or project maintenance to customers who do not comply with license terms, including those who exceed the allowed traffic (including according to the built-in error monitoring system).

Reserve SSG license

For the purpose of increasing the fault tolerance of the solution, we recommend backing up the main SSG server. Redundancy schemes and descriptions for BRAS L3 and BRAS L2.
Terms of use of the reserve license:

  1. Use only for backup purposes of the main server
  2. Constant traffic transmission no more than 5% of the license volume, in order to monitor the health of the backup server
  3. Processing of all traffic of the main server only in case of an accident or maintenance of the main server
