This MIB module manages the Gateway GPRS Support
Node (GGSN) devices. 

A GGSN device provides interworking with external 
packet-data network of a particular GPRS service
provider. It provides a combination of IP routing
and GPRS specific functionality to support mobile
users.

GTP version1 is introduced in  UMTS release 99 and
Cisco GGSN will support both GTP version 1 (GTP v1)
and version zero (GTP v0) simultaneously. 

GTP v1 supports multiple PDP contexts sharing one 
IP address.  TFTs are introduced to achieve this.
Each TFT is associated with a PDP context and there
may exist one PDP context without TFT amongst all 
PDP contexts sharing the same IP address. Each TFT 
has one to eight packet filters each assigned with
a precedence index.  These packet filters are 
evaluated one at a time against the packet header 
information in sequence of their precedence index.
A match is claimed if all the filters are matched
and the PDP context that the TFT belongs to will be
selected, else the checks are performed against the 
filters of another PDP context.  If the packet 
header doesn't contain any TFT packet filter
information, then the PDP context without the TFT is 
selected for further processing.

Note on notifications:

When an alarm occurs on the device, if the alarm's
severity is higher than the severity filter threshold,
a notification is generated by the device; and if
cGgsnNotifEnabled is 'true', then the device's
SNMP-engine configuration will be searched to
determine where to send the notification.
