SS7-over-IP Networks
An SS7-over-IP network consists of a traditional SS7 network that can integrate IP-
enabled or all-IP devices with protocols defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) standards organization.
The classical PSTN/ISDN separates the networks used for the transmission of the voice
information of a call and the call control messages needed for controlling the calls. The
latter network is called the signaling network and normally uses the protocols defined for
the signaling system no. 7 (SS7). In the SS7 terminology the physical layer is called
message transfer part level 1 (MTP level 1 or MTP1), the link layer is called message
transfer part level 2 (MTP level 2 or MTP2) and the network layer is called message
transfer part level 3 (MTP level 3 or MTP3). The layer on top of MTP3 is called user
part. This user part handles the signaling message needed for setting up basic
telephone calls. It supports the same application and call management paradigms as
SS7 but uses an Internet Protocol (IP) transport called Stream Control Transmission
Protocol (SCTP), instead of TCP or UDP. Indeed, the most significant protocol defined
by the SIGTRAN group is SCTP, which is used to carry PSTN signaling over IP.

SS7 limitations

SS7 is a signaling network (data traffic) protocol used to send and receive signaling
messages between Signaling End Points over dedicated signaling links. Operators
deploy SS7 services over a dedicated network of 56- or 64-kbps Time Division
Multiplexed (TDM) lines, or utilize high-speed T1 (1.5 Mbps) or E1 (2.048 Mbps) lines.
SS7 uses centralized databases and services, achieves reliable connections through
network management, and is secure because of its isolation from end users and the
dedicated network. SS7 signaling is mature with standards and a rich feature set, and
offers these advantages to both wireline and wireless services.

SS7 Solution
The Tekelec EAGLE 5 ISS is a robust SS7-over-IP solution that delivers centralized
signaling routing, and bridges the legacy circuit-switched and packet networks. It
provides seamless interworking between TDM resources such as Service Control
Points and IP-enabled elements such as Media Gateway Controllers and next-
generation databases.
Key benefits of using this Tekelec SS7-over-IP solution include:
• Decreased network congestion: This technology delivers dynamic bandwidth sharing
to enable carriers to effectively expand their signaling network and reduce network
bottlenecks. By replacing TDM links with an IP interface, service providers can
significantly increase signaling capacity to Service Control Points.
• Reduced transport costs: Replacing long-haul, point-to-point SS7 links between
network elements with IP connectivity can reduce recurring signaling transport costs by
40% to 70%.
• More efficient networks: Transitioning to SS7-over-IP signaling does not require
expensive equipment replacement or costly software upgrades for existing end nodes.
With this, carriers can streamline their networks while reducing administration, without
service interruption during installation.
• Migration to next-generation architecture: This can appear as an end office to the SS7
network by sharing its point code with the IP endpoints. This allows carriers to migrate
to a packet-based architecture without adding a new point code or reconfiguring the
network. Oracle’s open, multi-protocol architecture (SS7, SCTP, M2PA, and M3UA)
provides carriers the capability to grow and migrate their network with the independence
to choose best-in-class products.
In word Explanation

An application that provides tools to capture network traffic data and convert it into
useful business intelligence for troubleshooting, managing traffic, roamers, services,
and revenues. With its powerful and configurable filtering, this application sorts through
the data to create comprehensive dashboards and reports for all departments within the
service provider company. Application includes a comprehensive array of performance-
and revenue-management capabilities that provide reliable real-time or historical
information based on network traffic. The Application should base on industry-standard
network protocols, and provide one platform for all network technologies including Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and IMS. It should support different protocols including
SS7, CLASS, SIGTRAN, IN, INAP, GSM, CDMA, CAMEL, WIN, MMS, SMPP, WAP,
POP3, SMTP, FTP, and HTTP.
