MkVIII PIU
The different type of PIUs available in the MkVIII hardware are
described in the following chapters. SCXB2
CMXB3
GEP3
System Control Switch Board version 2
A PIU with Ethernet Layer 2 and Layer 3 for internal switching and external routing. Uses 1 Gigabit towards other PIUs in the same magazine, and 10 Gigabit for interconnect between magazines Component Main Switch Board version 3 A PIU with 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switching used for external connectivity and interconnect between magazines The Generic Ericsson Processor board version 3 (GEP3) is available in two different versions, with or without a hard disk. The GEP3 with hard disk has the role of a FSB The GEP3 without hard disk can take all other processing roles.

Signaling link Dimensioning
Recommended link load is 30-40% The signaling links are both way, i.e. having a forward direction and backward direction. When dimensioning the Signaling Links (SL), the maximum signaling traffic of the two directions in the SL sets the limit for the link.

Signaling Load Calculation
1000K SAU GSM & 500K SAU WCDMA Sig_Load(bps)= Sig_Volume(oct/sub*hr)*#_users*8 / 3600 Load(G) = 169*1000000*8/3600 = 375555bps = 376Kbps Load(W) = 171*500000*8/3600 = 190000bps = 190kbps at 30% loading 1TS can carry 20kbps of signaling Total 376+190 = 566kbps ~ 30TS
