Limitations

Following are the known limitations of auto-reclamation of under-utilized IP chunks in SMF:

  • During reclamation of under-utilized IP chunk, all released IPs must undergo configured address pool level Quarantine Time (QT time).

  • If an IP from the reclaimed IP chunk is associated with an active subscriber session, SMF tears down the subscriber session and is expected to see session discontinuity.

  • Rolling update must be avoided during scheduled reclamation procedure.
