Step 3 Expand the APN node. The following list of characteristics configured for the APN are displayed:
• Charging Characteristics—Charging characteristics configured on the APN for different
subscribers.
• DHCP—Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) parameter configured, if the APN supp orts
dynamic address assignment for PDP contexts.
• GSM-QoS—Represents the negotiated QoS attribute reliability class based on the configuration

APN.
• IP Parameters—Represents the APN parameters related to IP.
• IPv6—Represents IPv6 configurations and related services for the APN.

Burst Size Auto
Readjust Duration The burst size readjustment duration in seconds. Th is paramet er indicates the
number of seconds that the dynamic burst size calculation will last for. This
allows the traffic to be throttled at the negotiated rates.
Peak Burst Size (bytes) The peak burst size allowed, in bytes, for the uplink direction and QoS cl ass.
Guaranteed Burst Size
(bytes) The guaranteed burst size allowed, in bytes, fo r the upl ink directio n and Q oS
class.
Exceed Action The action to be taken on packets that exceed the committed data rate , bu t do
not violate the peak data rate. The action could be one of the following:
• Drop
• Lower IP Precedence
• Transmit
Violate Action The action to be taken on packets that exceed both committed and pea k data
rates. The action could be one of the following:
• Drop
• Lower IP Precedence
• Shape
• Transmit
