How are Services are carried over IP

Voice is carried over IP using Real Time Protocol but how is
PBX
signalling carried?

TCP - Transmission Control Protocol

Good Points
Provides Reliable, In-Sequence delivery of data packets
Supports Congestion Control and Avoidance Features
Bad Points
TCP transports a byte stream which must be delivered in order
Doesnt Support Multistreaming
Vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks
Doesnt support Multihoming or Path Monitoring
Page 8

SCTP has been specifically designed to provide reliable, error free
transport of message oriented applications over IP

SCTP provides the backhauling of signalling messages between a
Signalling Gateway and a Media Gateway Controller, over an IP
network

User Adaptation Layers for SCTP

The transport of ISDN Q.921 user messages over IP
DUA/SCTP
The transport of DASS/DPNSS messages over IP
V5UA/SCTP
The transport of V5.2 messages over IP
MTP2/SCTP
The transport of Signalling System 7 Message Transfer Part 2 (SS7 MTP2) user
signalling messages over IP
MTP3/SCTP
The transport of any SS7 MTP3 - User signalling (e.g., ISUP and SCCP messages)
over IP
SUA/SCTP
The transport of any Signalling Connection Control Part - User signalling over IP
Page 13
Why Use SCTP?

SCTP is a reliable transport protocol
Specifically designed for transport of message oriented applications
Acknowledged error free transfer of messages
Detection of data corruption, loss of data and duplication of data
Selective retransmission to correct lost or corrupted data
Heartbeat actively monitors connectivity of session
Resistance to Denial of Service attacks
Supports several streams within a connection (or association)

Terminating the Association

Graceful Termination of an Association
All outstanding data will be acknowledged before shutdown
Aborting the Association
Shutdown immediately on receiving the ABORT chunk
Special Cases
Restart of an Endpoint where it uses a new tag value
Both endpoint send an INIT chunk at about the same time
Excessive delay of Cookie chunks

Congestion Control
Basically congestion is controlled by observing the number of
packets lost and modifying the transmission rate accordingly
Congestion Control Window
Represents the senders view of network conditions
Dynamically changed to suit network conditions
Receiver Window Size

Represents the senders view of the receivers incoming buffer space
Updated by the receiver in SACK chunks (Advertised Receiver Window Credit)

Attacks
