SCCP CC

This document discusses enhanced congestion control mechanisms in Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP). It describes how SCCP uses restriction levels and sublevels informed by MTP3 to selectively discard outgoing messages based on importance. Messages' importance is predefined based on type. SCCP compares importance to restriction levels to determine if messages will be allowed or discarded to regulate outgoing traffic during congestion. Incoming traffic regulation is also discussed but not used.

Basic SCCP Congestion Control


1. When a TFC is received, SCCP is informed of the congestion of the affected destination. SCCP marks the destination as congested and stops traffic towards the congested destination during CONGTIME value.

Enhanced SCCP Congestion Control


REGULATION OF OUTGOING TRAFFIC: SCCP discards selectively messages based on the comparison between 1. the congestion level reached by a remote node (RESTRICTION LEVEL and RESTRICTION SUBLEVEL per SP Destination) and 2. the IMPORTANCE of the MESSAGES to be sent to that node.

REGULATION OF INCOMING TRAFFIC (not used): SCCP discards selectively messages based on the comparison between 1. the SCCP congestion level in the own node (OWN SCCP CONGESTION LEVEL) and 2. the IMPORTANCE of the MESSAGES received.

RESTRICTION LEVEL and RESTRICTION SUBLEVEL (I)


When a TFC message is received, MTP3 informs SCCP, among others, about the congestion status of each remote signaling point by means of a MTP-STATUS message.

When Td expires:

If RSL>0, then RSL is decremented by 1 and timer Td restarted If RSL=0, then RSL=3, RL is decremented by 1, and timer Td restarted

SCCP Routing Control


In order to selectively filter SCCP messages, the Importance Value of the message and the Restriction Level of the destination of the message are compared. Importance Value > Restriction Level, MESSAGE IS ALLOWED Importance Value < Restriction Level, MESSAGE IS NOT ALLOWED Importance Value = Restriction Level (MESSAGES ARE ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED FOLLOWING A PERCENTAGE MECHANISM BASED ON RSL VALUE) For example: RSL=0 -> 0% of traffic is not allowed RSL=1 -> 25% of traffic is not allowed RSL=2 -> 50% of traffic is not allowed RSL=3 -> 100% of traffic is not allowed
