SIGTRAN - Protocol Analysis & System Integration

About this eBook

This eBook addresses the needs of everybody who needs a detailed understanding of SIGTRAN.

How can an IP-network be reliable and secure enough in the first place to convey critical and confidential CCS7-information?
Which address information is used within and among CCS7-networks to route information between adjacent nodes and end-to-end?
Are there any means for load sharing among CCS7-links?
What is the best adaptation layer protocol for our implementation? Shall we use M2PA, M2UA, M3UA or SUA?
Which security mechanisms does SCTP support?
Which packet format and chunk types does SCTP define and what are they used for?
How does SIGTRAN mimic classical CCS7-parameters like OPC, DPC, SLS, SLR or DLR?
How does the network layout differ between classical CCS7 and SIGTRAN?
In which way does SIGTRAN provide for link supervision as CCS7-does?
Does SIGTRAN support load sharing? If yes, is it more flexible than load sharing in legacy CCS7?
In which way does SIGTRAN provide for CCS7-management procedures likes Change Over / Change Back (COO / CBD)?
Is there a link establishment procedure in SIGTRAN comparable to the CCS-link establishment procedure through SLTM / SLTA?
Which test procedures can be recommended upon SIGTRAN-commissioning?
How well does SIGTRAN operate through NAT’s and NAPT’s?
Can SIGTRAN operate with IPsec?
What are the optimum settings for the different SCTP-parameters like for example RTO.initial, RTO.Min and Max or HB.interval under which conditions?
What are typical error situations that SIGTRAN-enabled networks will encounter?
