[PageOutline] = The Gb proxy = The purpose of the Gb proxy is to aggregate the Gb links of multiple BSS's and present them in one Gb link to the SGSN. More specifically, the Gb proxy terminates the NS-VCs of each BSS locally. Furthermore, it establishes one NS-VC with the SGSN. The proxy then forwards NS-DUs (BSSGP PDUs) between the SGSN and the respective BSS (and vice versa). == Configuring and using osmo-gbproxy == FIXME == Advanced use cases == === Cascading proxies === == You can also cascade multiple Gb proxies behind each other, where a number of BSS connect to one Gb proxy, which in turn connects to another Gb proxy, which then finally connects to the SGSN. The reason for this type of use can be broken or limited Gb implementations in proprietary BSS equipment, which fails to re-connect the Gb link after some intermittent network outage. == Design documentation == There's a more detailed [wiki:osmo-gbproxy_design design description] outlining details of the proxy.
