== Configuring OsmoGbPROXY

=== SGSN pool support

In a SGSN pool, osmo-gbproxy is facing the problem of dividing the downlink
capacity of a cell towards the SGSN.  The BSS advertises the per-BVC capacity
by means of the BSSGP FLOW-CONTROL-BVC messages, but as there are multiple
SGSN in a pool, they all have to share / divide that total capacity.

By default, osmo-gbproxy advertises the full capacity to _each_ of the SGSN
pool members, which results in significant over-provisioning and can lead to
overload situations.

The administrator can configure the _percentage_ of the overall BSS-advertised
capacity that shall be reported to each pool member SGSN using the
`pool bvc-flow-control-ratio <1-100>` configuration command.

A setting of 100 means that each pool member is informed of 100% of the
BSS side capacity.

A setting of 25 means that each pool member is informed of 25% of the
BSS side capacity.  This would make most sense in a set-up with four
SGSN of equal share.

More complex capacity division schemes are so far not supported by
osmo-gbproxy.
