Configuring Boot Configuration
To configure Boot Configuration using the FlowVision GUI, navigate to:
Configuration > Boot Configuration.
General
The following image illustrate the General configs such as hash table, ip & subscriber session limit, Coutn etc as shown below
LB Hash Type:
Specifies the method used for load balancing packet flows across processing cores.
3 Tuples: Uses source IP, destination IP, and protocol/port for hashing.
5 Tuples: Uses source IP, destination IP, protocol, source port, and destination port for hashing.
IP Session Limits:
Sets the maximum number of concurrent IP sessions per core.
Subscriber Session Limits:
Definition: Defines the maximum number of subscriber sessions (unique users/devices) that can be handled simultaneously.
The range is typically 100 to 3,000,000. Higher values require more memory and CPU resources.
Kafka Core Count:
Definition: Number of CPU cores dedicated to Kafka producer threads for exporting data.
Limitation: Must be less than or equal to the number of Packet Processing cores.
KPI Core Count:
Definition: Number of CPU cores allocated for Key Performance Indicator (KPI) processing tasks.
Limitation: Must be less than or equal to the number of Packet Processing cores.
Start Cores:
Definition: Specifies the logical core ID from which packet processing should begin.
Limitation: Must be a valid core ID present on the system. Incorrect values may prevent the application from starting.
Total Cores:
Definition: Total number of logical CPU cores allocated for packet processing and related tasks.
Limitation: Limited by the physical hardware; allocating more cores than available will result in errors.
Packet Processing Cores (Per Port)
Definition: Number of CPU cores assigned to process packets for each port.
Total Port
Definition: Number of asn ports configured for packet processing.
Limited by hardware capabilities and configuration, typically between 1 and 8.
Control Port
Definition: Designates the asn port used for control plane traffic.
Must select a valid port from available options (e.g., port0, port1)
Features & Packet Core Interface
The following image illustrate the Features and Packet core interface configs such as Radius, metadata export,4G & 5G interface type etc.
Enable Radius
Definition: Enables or disables support for the RADIUS protocol, used for authentication and accounting.
Set to "true" or "false" based on deployment requirements.
Active Bearer Export
Definition: Enables the export of active bearer information for monitoring or analytics.
Uplane Flow Stats (Control Metadata):
. Definition: Enables collection and export of user-plane flow statistics as part of control metadata.
Packet Core Interface:
Definition: Selects the type of packet core interface for network connectivity.
4G Interfaces: S5-S8, S11
5G Interfaces: N11
Kafka Producer Config
The following image illustrate the Kafka Producer configs such as Queue buffer, compression type etc.
Queue Buffer Messages (max):
Definition: Maximum number of messages buffered per Kafka queue before sending.
Range is 1,000 to 1,000,000,000.
Queue Buffer kbytes (max):
Definition: Maximum buffer size in kilobytes per Kafka queue.
Range is 1 to 2,147,483,647 kB.
Queue Batch Size (max):
Definition: Maximum number of messages sent in a single Kafka batch.
Range is 1 to 2,147,483,647.
Linger (ms):
Definition: Time in milliseconds to wait before sending a batch to Kafka, allowing more messages to accumulate.
Range is 0 to 900,000 ms.
Compression Type:
Definition: Compression algorithm used for Kafka messages.
Must be one of: none, gzip, lz4, zstd, snappy. Unsupported types will cause errors.
