The Automatic Code Gapping Control object is a child of the Automatic Code Gapping Controls object. It is included in the delivered configuration and you cannot create or modify it.
An external SCP to which TCAP queries are sent can control the number of queries it receives by responding to a query with code gapping information, which specifies limits on the frequency at which it will accept new queries. This allows the SCP to avoid congestion by reducing or eliminating traffic corresponding to a particular translation type. The Automatic Code Gapping Control object indicates any controls that are currently in place for a particular translation type resulting from this mechanism.

Description |
Translation type | Read only | The translation type affected by the Automatic Code Gapping control. This comes from the value used by the application that generated this control. Range: 0 - 255 |
Cause | Read only | The cause of the Automatic Code Gapping control. This indicates both the source of the control (that is, which TCAP application produced it) and the reason for the control. Values:
|
Address prefix | Read only | The address prefix affected by the Automatic Code Gapping control. |
Interval | Read only | The control interval for the Automatic Code Gapping control. The SCP may reject incoming queries that match this control if they occur more frequently than this. Values:
|
Duration | Read only | The duration for the Automatic Code Gapping control. The restriction indicated by the Interval field applies for this period of time, starting from the time indicated in the Set timestamp field. Values:
|
Set timestamp | Read only | The time the Automatic Code Gapping control was set. It will be removed after this time plus the duration indicated by the Duration field. |
Last passed timestamp | Read only | The last time a query was successfully sent matching this Automatic Code Gapping control. If the MetaSwitch NE attempts to send another query within the time indicated by the Interval field, this query may be rejected. If the Automatic Code Gapping control has never been passed, this value is not displayed. |
Passed count | Read only | The number of times a query matching this Automatic Code Gapping control has been successfully sent. |
Invoked count | Read only | The number of times the Automatic Code Gapping control has rejected a query that would otherwise have been sent. |
Point code of requesting SCP | Read only | The point code of the Service Control Point that requested this code gapping control. This is used for diagnostics and tracing the origin of code gapping controls. |
SSN of requesting SCP | Read only | The SSN of the Service Control Point that requested this code gapping control. This is used for diagnostics and tracing the origin of code gapping controls. |
