    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-6/10/20/40/60/80/100/120/240. 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 6Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-10 corresponds to 10Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-20 corresponds to 20Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-40 corresponds to 40Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-60 corresponds to 60Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-80 corresponds to 80Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-100 corresponds to 100Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-120 corresponds to 120Gbps total (upload+download) traffic
    • SSG-120 corresponds to 240Gbps total (upload+download) 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 6Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-10 corresponds to 10Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-20 corresponds to 20Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-40 corresponds to 40Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-60 corresponds to 60Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-80 corresponds to 80Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-100 corresponds to 100Gbps of total mirror traffic
    • SSG-120 corresponds to 120Gbps of total mirror traffic

    Active-Standby: the stand-by SSG is installed on an alternative route, passing no more than 5% of traffic in standby mode 25% from main License
    Active-Active: traffic is shared between two SSG platforms 100% from Main License and Support License

    :y: Yes
    :o: Optional
    :n: No

    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
