Feature Description

The UE IP address and ID allocation and management (resource management) feature is used by the SMF service and supported by the NodeMgr.

The Master NodeMgr initializes the following in Redis-DB:

  • IP pools for all DNN profiles

  • Running counter for ID

  • Free list for ID

The NodeMgr hosts the resource management server functionality and exposes the APIs for:

  • IP allocation and management

    • IP allocation

    • IP release

    • IP reallocation (release the current IP and allocate new IP for UE)

  • ID allocation and management

    • ID allocation

    • ID release

    • ID reallocation (release the current ID and allocate new ID)

The SMF service runs the resource management client to use the Rmgr services.
