View CUPS Communication Dashboard

The CUPS (CPN-UPN) communication dashboard captures the statistics involved when the CPN communicates with the UPN to supplement the UPN with RAN and Network Slice attributes. Refer to CPN-UPN Communication for Support of RAN and Network Slice Attributes topic for the list of supported RAN and Network Slice attributes.

To access the dashboards:

  1. Go to -> Analytics -> Dashboards.
  2. Navigate to Mobility Dashboards -> CUPS Communication.
  3. The CUPS Communication consists of Packet Statistics, GPFCP Statistics, and Enrichment Statistics.
  4. Choose the required statistics tab to view the visualizations listed in the tables below.
  5. Select the required Site, CPN Alias and the UPN Alias to view the CPN UPN communication statistics of a specific site.
  6. When the UPN GigaSMART engine goes down, an alarm is raised and displayed in the UPN Engine Outage section of the CUPS Communication dashboard with Cluster ID, Engine ID of the GigaSMART engine and the Timestamp of the engine outage.
■   When there are zero values for all the KPIs in the CUPS Communication dashboard, it indicates that the UPN GigaSMART engine is down, and you can find the Cluster ID and the Engine ID of that UPN GigaSMART engine in the UPN Engine Outage visualization.
■   The same statistics is replicated in all the UPN GigaSMART engines that are part of the GigaSMART engine group. In the CUPS Communication Dashboard, GigaVUE‑FM displays only the statistics of the first UPN GigaSMART engine of the engine group. When you have zero values for all the KPIs in the CUPS Communication dashboard, it indicates that the first UPN GigaSMART engine is down, and you can find the Cluster ID and the EngineID of that UPN GigaSMART engine in the UPN Engine Outage visualization.

CPN GPFCP Session Lookup Fail

Counter to indicate the number of sessions not found for Enrichment update or Enrichment Pull at the CPN.

UPN GPFCP Session Lookup Fail

Counter to indicate the number of sessions not found for Enrichment update or Enrichment Pull at the UPN.

CPN GPFCP Ack Missing

Displays the GPFCP acknowledgment(s) missing at CPN. If the acknowledgment is missing for an Enrichment update, regenerate Enrichment update is accounted in this counter.

UPN GPFCP Ack Missing

Displays the GPFCP acknowledgment(s) missing at UPN. If the acknowledgment is missing for an Enrichment update, regenerate Enrichment update is accounted in this counter.

CPN Tx Enrichment Update

Displays the number of Enrichment update messages transmitted from CPN to UPN.

UPN Rx Enrichment Update

Displays the number of Enrichment update messages received at UPN from CPN.

UPN Tx Enrichment Response Accept

Displays the number of acknowledgment messages transmitted from the UPN to the CPN for an Enrichment update stating that the update is accepted.

CPN RX Enrichment Response Accept

Displays the number of acknowledgment messages received at CPN from UPN for a n Enrichment update stating the update is accepted.

UPN Tx Enrichment Response Reject

Displays the number of acknowledgment messages transmitted from the UPN to the CPN for an Enrichment update stating that the update is rejected.

CPN Rx Enrichment Response Reject

Displays the number of acknowledgment messages received at CPN from the UPN for an Enrichment update stating that the update is rejected.

UPN Tx Enrichment Pull Request

Displays the number of Enrichment Pull Request messages transmitted from UPN (UPN tries to get RAN and Network Slice attributes from the CPN).

CPN Rx Enrichment Pull Request

Displays the number of Enrichment Pull Request messages received at CPN (CPN receives the pull request from the UPN for the RAN and Network Slice attributes).

UPN Tx Enrichment Pull Request Retry

Displays the number of Enrichment Pull Request Retry messages transmitted from UPN.

Note:  When CPN does not respond to the Enrichment Pull Request from UPN, it sends the UPN Tx Enrichment Pull Request Retry message. The maximum number of retries that can be attempted is three.

CPN Enrichment Retry

Displays the number of Enrichment Retry messages transmitted from CPN (CPN retries to enrich the UPN for a REJECTED acknowledgment from UPN).
