Xiaoling 1.2 501
Edwin Chen 83.1 502 Below list the place where the data traffic will use.
Kilight Cao 18.1 503
Edwin Chen 83.1 504 * Valid uplink data to LoRaWAN server or IoT server. ( We can't reduce this as they are the data we want)
505 * Invalid uplink sensor data to LoRaWAN serevr. ( See Filter unwanted packets)
506 * LoRaWAN Status push or polling data to LoRaWAN server . ( We can reduce this part , see below for discussion)
507 * System Keep Alive data. ( To ensure the system is more robust, can be disabled)
Xiaoye 87.1 508 * system Time synchronization Checking
Edwin Chen 83.1 509 * Auto update ( Software auto update, can be disabled)
Kilight Cao 18.1 510
Edwin Chen 83.1 511 === 7.1.1 LoRaWAN Status push or polling data to LoRaWAN server ===
Xiaoling 1.2 512
Edwin Chen 83.1 513 When gateway connect to LoRaWAN server via LoRaWAN protocol, besides the sensor data uplink/downlink. gateway will still need to:
Xiaoling 1.2 514
Edwin Chen 83.1 515 * Uplink self-status to the LoRaWAN server every 30s. the users can adjust **Keep Alive Period** as below
516 * Check LoRaWAN server status every 5 seconds to see if there is valid downlink command to sensors. We don't provide WEB UI option to modify this time, because the modify of this settings will lead to fail on OTAA Join and Downlink commands.

Xiaoling 71.3 522
Edwin Chen 83.1 523 System Keep Alive Data is used to check gateway-network status and fix possible issue. Gateway will check every 15 seconds and generate traffic.
Xiaoling 1.2 524
Edwin Chen 83.1 525 Base on 15 seconds per check, the data traffic is about 2M data traffic per day. Users can adjust **Keepalive Interval** as below.

Edwin Chen 83.1 535 === 7.1.4 Filter unwanted packets ===
Edwin Chen 43.1 536
Edwin Chen 84.1 537 When gateway connect to LoRaWAN server via LoRaWAN protocol , Gateway will by default get every possible LoRaWAN packets and forward to LoRaWAN server. If there are sensors from others in the same area, such sensor data will also be forward to LoRaWAN server ( they will be ignore by the server). This also consume data.
