RCB and SBCX dimensioning principle
 Detailed dimensioning principle with detailed traffic model:
 RCB=2*MAX(RCB_1, RCB_2) + 2* RCB_IpSig

 Simple dimensioning principle without detailed traffic model:

 RCB = RUB + RCB_IpSig
 RCB_IpSig =
2, if (RUB)<=4;
4, else (RUB)<=10;
6, else (RUB)>10;

Notes: RUB is user plane processing boards, of which dimensioning will be

introduced in following slide.

 SBCX:
 1 SBCX configured as log server, which will be put in main control shelf
 2 SBCX configured as OMM server(1+1 backup), which can be put in
control or switch shelf.
