9 Web Interface & SNMP 3G & LTE GTP DECODING AND ENCODING 3G & LTE prtcl encapsulates user data in GTP. This GTP must decded first t allw ptimizatin and TCP Acceleratin. 3G/LTE (e)ndeb SAT Link The Intelligent Backhaul platfrm is cmpsed f three layers: Ethernet Bridge Bridge Interface - Filters and captures all IP/UDP/GTP and SCTP traffic. Traffic nt matching the filter cntinues acrss the bridge GTP 3G/LTE Tunnel Tracking GTP - 3G/LTE Tunnel Tracking - Prcesses the signaling messages and manages the GTP tunnels between the base statin and the cre netwrk Applicatins Optimizatin TCP Acceleratin Offlad Applicatins Optimizatin, Byte Caching, TCP Acceleratin & Offlad are the applicatins that prcess the traffic received frm the GTP layer 9
