Ingvar,
Hello my friend! I would like to hear your opinion.
1. We've 3 APN for different kind of service.
Each APN should has its ip address range for handsets.
What we are doing now is using radiator <AddressAllocatorSQL> with different POOLHINT to allocate ip address.
Which one is better in allocating ip address, from APN internally or radiator server.
2. Your words: 'It has a binary value for session ID (4 bytes GGSN IP address + 4 bytes Framed-IP-Address)'
Our session ID is very urgly. It concat six zero and <CLASS> attribute to be session ID. See below sample.
I think it should be a integer, hex, or some number. Do you know any workaround.
*** Received from 10.25.155.1 port 3645 ....
Code: Accounting-Request
Identifier: 95
Authentic: ?I<144><143><227>'<243><139>I<191><203><160><132>N<12>b
Attributes:
User-Name = "rad_user"
Class = "SI=Testing"
Acct-Session-Id = ""000000Testing""
NAS-IP-Address = 10.25.155.1
Acct-Status-Type = Stop
NAS-Port = 1
Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
NAS-Identifier = "rad"
Framed-Protocol = PPP
Calling-Station-Id = "85298699517"
Framed-IP-Address = 10.25.155.3
3. Are you still working on GSN product. Do you know any GSN resource, specification, books, pdf, or anything on Ericsson website, so we can make use of it.
Thanks :-)
Harrison

Hello Harrison,
I have a GGSN parameter list from a lab setup we did early this year:
APN : ucb.gsn.lkp
Number of Configured APNs : 3
First Supported IP Segment : 172.44.220.0
GGSN IP Address : 172.44.220.254 // Not so brilliant choice...
Last Supported IP Segment : 172.44.220.0 // More segments in reality
Netmask : 255.255.255.0 // - " -
Authenticate MS Using RADIUS : true // Yes
Send MSISDN in Access Req. : true // Yes
Send MSISDN in Accounting Req. : true // Yes
Primary RADIUS Server Address : 192.168.240.12
Primary Query Time-out [ms] : 3
Primary Query Retries : 10
Primary Encryption Key : thesharedsecret
Origin of MS IP Address : RADIUS // Yes
Allow Select from SGSN : false
Allow Select from Subscription : true
Allow Select from User : true
Enable Ingress Filter : false
Routing Method : IP
The RADIUS client in the GGSN has a couple of annoying problems, at least the version we did the work on:
- It doesn't include the Framed-IP-Address in accounting stop
- It has a binary value for session ID (4 bytes GGSN IP address + 4 bytes Framed-IP-Address)
The first one is a serious one, that has to be handled, or your address allocator will run dry. Hugh's suggestion was to use the Class attribute to put a copy of the allocated IP address when you send the access accept (AddToReply...). Then when the acct stop comes, you pick the IP address from the Class attribute if Framed-IP-Address is missing.
Sample code:
# Handle Accounting-Requests.
# Make sure there is a Framed-IP-Address in the request
# (from the contents of the Class attribute).
elsif ($code eq 'Accounting-Request')
{
my $address = $p->get_attr('Framed-IP-Address');
if (!defined $address)
{
# Get the IP address from the Class attribute
$address = $p->get_attr('Class');
$p->add_attr('Framed-IP-Address', $address)
if (defined $address);
}
# Print a debug line
&main::log($main::LOG_DEBUG, "Framed-IP-Address = $address");
}
That's about all I can come to think of right away, pls feel free to come back to me if more questions pop up.

Hello,
Is there anyone who can share their experience in using Ericsson GSN with Radiator.
Could you tell your GSN version, Radiator version, how to distribute IP address (thru GSN or Radiator). Maybe more!
Your help is highly appreciated and perhaps we can share our experience with you too.
