  • SS7 Protocol Stack
    CHAPTER 3 SS7 Protocol Stack This chapter describes the components of the SS7 protocol stack. A stack is a set of data storage locations that are accessed in a fixed sequence. The SS7 stack is compared against the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model for communication between different systems made by different vendors. Figure 3-1 shows the components of the SS7 protocol stack. SS7 Level 1: Physical Connection This is the physical level of connectivity, virtually the same as Layer 1 of the OSI model. SS7 specifies what interfaces will be used, both Bellcore (Telecordia) and ANSI call for either the DS0A or the V.35 interface. Because central offices are already using DS1 and DS3 facilities to link one another, the DS0A interface is readily available in all central offices, and is preferred in the SS7 network. As the demands on the SS7 network increase (local number portability), and as the industry migrates toward ATM networks, the DS1 interface will become the link interface. SS7 Level 2: Data Link The data link level provides the network with sequenced delivery of all SS7 message packets. Like the OSI data link layer, it is only concerned with the transmission of data from one node to the next, not to its final destination in the network. Sequential numbering is used to determine if any messages have been lost during transmission. Each link uses its own message numbering series independent of other links. SS7 uses CRC-16 error checking of data and requests retransmission of lost or corrupted messages. Length indicators allow Level 2 to determine what type of signal unit it is receiving, and how to process it.

  • Dialogic® DSI Protocol Stacks
    Datasheet Dialogic® DSI Protocol Stacks Dialogic® Distributed Signaling Interface (DSI) Protocol Stacks enable developers to build applications to interface directly to nodes within 2G and 3G mobile networks and wireline networks in areas such as mobility, messaging, location, authentication, charging, and call control. The versatile DSI Protocol Stacks support a range of Signaling System 7 (SS7) and IETF SIGTRAN specifications to provide proven software building blocks that implement the protocol stacks and provide a message-based API, allowing users access to protocol parameters without the need to implement the protocol procedures. A wide range of protocols are supported including MAP and IS-41 for mobile networks, INAP (including CAMEL and AIN) for intelligent networks, and ISUP (including BICC) for call control. These protocols run in conjunction with TCAP, SCCP (Connectionless or Connection Oriented) and underlying transport protocols M3UA, or MTP3 (over MTP2 or M2PA). Physical connectivity is achieved either over IP using SIGTRAN SCTP or using E1/T1 TDM interfaces in conjunction with Dialogic® DSI Network Interface Boards. The Dialogic® DSI SS7 Stack and Dialogic® DSI SIGTRAN Stack are complemented by the DSI run-time environment that coordinates inter-process communication, protocol configuration, management, logging, measurements, and run-time diagnostic tools. Features Benefits Proven worldwide deployment history with multiple operators Provides increased confidence that new deployments will work “out of the box” Common API
