Overview of the Alcatel-Lucent Mobile Gateways for the LTE Evolved Packet Core Exam
Network engineers and systems architects must demonstrate technical proficiency in managing Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router and 7705 Service Aggregation Router platforms within LTE Evolved Packet Core environments. The assessment focuses on configuring S-GW, P-GW, and ePDG functional entities to facilitate subscriber management and session mobility. Candidates analyze GTP-based tunneling protocols, Diameter signaling, and PCC rule enforcement architectures essential for interworking between 3GPP and non-3GPP access networks. Mastery requires troubleshooting complex data plane forwarding, QoS policy implementation, and load balancing mechanisms. Expertise in deploying virtualized network functions via the Nuage Networks framework ensures seamless integration within high-availability carrier-grade mobile infrastructures.
