SIGTRAN pricing model 2011: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:53, 19 July 2022

TelcoBridges' implementation of SIGTRAN is based on the concept of SS7 relay and termination.

The relay concept is where the SS7 signaling received from MTP2 links is forwarded directly to SIGTRAN peer(s).

SIGTRAN is used to RELAY SS7 signaling to the peer using either M2UA or M3UA-SG, without local processing of SS7 messages.

A termination corresponds to a link between two unique end-points. An example is provided below.

The SIGTRAN termination is used to receive SS7 signaling on the gateway for local processing (ISUP,SCCP,MTP3 routing).

Other details

The SIGTRAN Relay software license enables up to 64 M2UA links, 20 M3UA-SG links and 64 IUA links. (SS7 links must be purchased separately)
The SIGTRAN Termination software license enables up to 64 M2PA links and 20 M3UA-IPSP links.

-In this example, a single TMedia is connected to two other SIGTRAN peers. Each connected stream corresponds to an 'termination'. These are identified as Termination #1 and Termination #2.  A single Termination can be multi-homed or not.  The SIGTRAN termination in this context is used to receive SS7 signaling on the gateway for ISUP processing.

-In this example, a single TMedia is connected to one SIGTRAN peers, a soft switch in this case. In this context, SIGTRAN is used to RELAY the SS7 (MTP2) to the peer using either M2UA or M3UA.  There is no ISUP processing on the gateway itself.

-*TelcoBridges' pricing model for SIGTRAN does not distinguish between [[M2PA]], [[M2UA]], or [[M3UA]]. All three of these protocols are included in the association license.
+* The SIGTRAN Termination software license enables up to 64 M2PA links and 20 M3UA-IPSP links.
-**Due to network design considerations specific to the use of M3UA, it may be necessary to purchase additional M3UA associations for a given pair of endpoints.
-*The SIGTRAN pricing model does not feature any restrictions on the number of messages or transactions per second. Users are only limited in their use of SIGTRAN by the capacity of the underlying IP link and the telecommunications hardware used in the system. Increasing the capacity of the IP link or the hardware will enable the user to achieve higher message counts per second without requiring additional SIGTRAN associations.
