Measures reported by BBerryRouterTest
The BlackBerry Router performs the following functions:
- Routes all data to wireless device
- Links BES to the SRP (Server Routing Protocol) host; while transmitting messages from within a corporate network to a handheld device, BES contacts the SRP host to know where the handheld device is located
The router is typically configured with the maximum number of connections that services and devices can establish with it. You need to monitor the usage of these connections at frequent intervals, so as to ensure that the configured limit is not exceeded.
This test reports the configured connection limits for devices and services, and also indicates how many connections have been utilized and how many are free; this way, the test promptly alerts you if the services and devices are about to run out of connections.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_service_conns |
Indicates the maximum number of connections that services can establish with the router.
|
Number |
|
| Total_device_conns |
Indicates the maximum number of connections that devices can establish with the router. |
Number |
|
| Used_service_conns |
Indicates the number of connections that services are currently utilizing for connecting to the router. |
Number |
|
| Used_device_conns |
Indicates the number of connections that the devices are currently utilizing for connecting to the router. |
Number |
|
| Free_service_conns |
Indicates the percentage of total service connections to router that are unused. |
Percent |
Ideally, these values should be high. If these measures record very low values, it could indicate that services and devices are already utilizing router connections excessively, and may soon run out of connections to the router. Under such circumstances, try releasing a few service/device connections or try increasing the maximum number of router connections that services and devices are permitted to use. |
| Free_device_conns |
Indicates the percentage of total device connections to router that are unused. |
