Detailed Description

This application implements the Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway Entity (PGW) according to the 3GPP TS 23.401 document.

This Application implements the PGW side of the S5 interface between the PGW node and the SGW nodes and the PGW side of the SGi interface between the PGW node and the internet hosts. It supports the following functions and messages:

S5 connectivity (i.e. GTPv2-C signalling and GTP-U data plane)
Bearer management functions including dedicated bearer establishment
Per-user based packet filtering
UL and DL bearer binding
Tunnel Management messages

Others functions enumerated in section 4.4.3.3 of 3GPP TS 23.401 are not supported.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddSgw()

void ns3::EpcPgwApplication::AddSgw ( Ipv4Address sgwS5Addr )

Let the PGW be aware of a new SGW.

Parameters

sgwS5Addr the address of the SGW S5 interface

References m_sgwS5Addr, and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

◆ AddUe()

void ns3::EpcPgwApplication::AddUe ( uint64_t imsi )

Parameters

imsi	the unique identifier of the UE

References m_ueInfoByImsiMap, and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::EpcPgwApplication::DoDispose ( void )

overridevirtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.
