SIGTRAN
Trillium SS7/IP software source code solutions enable seamless convergence and inter-working of PSTN and IP protocols under a unified architecture. Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for transporting message-based Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) Signaling System 7 (SS7) traffic over IP networks. The SIGTRAN framework defines a modular structure that uses a common reliable transport protocol and allows the definition of adaptation modules for different PSTN control protocols. The transport protocol, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), allows carriers to use the IP infrastructure to transport SS7 telephony traffic over an IP network. Its generic design also provides a reliable transport delivery mechanism for other multimedia and wireless frameworks such as H.323, MGCP, H.248/MEGACO, SIP and 3G. SCTP supports node-to-node transport of SS7/ISDN traffic between Signaling Gateways (SGs)/Media Gateways (MGs) and Media Gateway Controllers (MGCs). It works on the basic concept of associations and streams. An SCTP association: is similar to a TCP connection supports multiple IP addresses at either or both ends (multi-homing) supports multiple logical streams (multi-streaming) provides sequenced delivery for user datagrams within a single stream SCTPs design includes the appropriate congestion-avoidance behavior, message validation and path management capabilities required by the PSTN. Adaptation modules may be added as extensions to the transport protocol. The IETF SIGTRAN working group has defined adaptation modules for ISDN Q.921, MTP Level 2, MTP Level 3 and SCCP.

The Trillium SIGTRAN family of protocols extends the value of a carriers legacy telephone network by carrying signaling traffic across SS7 and IP-based networks. SIGTRAN also facilitates seamless and ubiquitous deployment of applications and services regardless of the underlying network infrastructure. SIGTRAN plays a crucial role in these coexisting and converging SS7/IP signaling networks and is being deployed in an ever-growing number of network integration scenarios.

M3UA
The SS7 MTP Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) software product, defined by the SIGTRAN working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), transports signaling messages from MTP3 users (that is, ISUP, SCCP and TUP) over the IP network. Moving SS7 signaling to IP transport is the first step in a carriers transition from a circuit switched to a packet switched core network. IP networks are more efficient, less costly, and are needed to deploy next generation networks, like the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). M3UA supports two primary operational modes: It bridges the boundaries of the SS7 network and IP network. In this mode, M3UA transports the signaling messages from a Signaling Gateway (SG) located at the edge of the SS7 network to an IPresident Media Gateway Controller (MGC) and vice versa. It supports the traditional SS7 call signaling protocols (that is, ISUP, SCCP and TUP) to communicate within an IP network. For example, M3UA transports SCCP signaling messages from a Radio Network Controller (RNC) to a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) in 3G wireless networks. Trillium M3UA protocol software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of soft switches, signaling gateways, signal transfer points, service control points, media gateway controllers or other products to: Accelerate time to market Reduce development costs Reduce project risk of internally developed M3UA applications Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, a warranty and technical support.

SCTP
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), defined by the Signal Transport (SIGTRAN) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a transport level datagram transfer protocol that

operates on top of an unreliable datagram service such as Internet Protocol (IP). SCTP is the transport protocol specified by next generation network architectures and is used by SIP, Diameter, GCP (H.248/MEGACO/MGCP), and SIGTRAN User Adaptation (UA) protocol layers. It provides secure and reliable transport, which is a must to fulfill the promise of next generation network services like multimedia messaging.

SCTP works on the basic concepts of associations and streams. An SCTP association is similar to a TCP connection except that it can support multiple IP addresses at either or both ends. An SCTP association is comprised of multiple logical streams, ensuring the sequenced delivery of user datagrams within a single stream. A datagram lost in one stream does not block datagrams in other streams.

SCTP SUBLAYERS
Although SCTP is designed to carry PSTN signaling information over the IP network, its generic design can be utilized to provide a reliable transport delivery mechanism for other multimedia and wireless frameworks such as SIP, Diameter, GCP, 4G wireless and so on. Trillium SCTP protocol software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of Soft Switches, Call State Control Functions (CSCF), IP edge devices, IMS Application Servers, Fixed Mobile Convergence Gateways or other products to: Accelerate time to market Reduce development costs Reduce project risk of internally developed SCTP applications Product deliverables consist of C protocol source code software, documentation, training, and warranty and technical support. SCTP services include: Acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data Segmentation of user datagram to conform to the path MTU size Sequenced delivery of user datagrams within a stream Optional bundling of multiple user datagrams into one SCTP datagram to improve bandwidth utilization Support for multiple transport addresses at either or both ends of an association to enhance reliability Seamless integration with Trillium protocol software SCTP users: Next Generation Network protocols

SS7
Trillium Signaling System 7 (SS7) software source code solutions enhance and extend the signaling capabilities of next-generation telecommunications network devices by enabling superior availability, performance and scalability. SS7 is a suite of global telecommunications protocol standards that define the procedures by which network elements within the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) exchange control information over digital signaling links for setting up, managing, and tearing down wireline and wireless calls. Signaling System 7 is also the protocol that defines the procedures to transport and process database queries necessary for providing todays advanced intelligent network (AIN) features and services. SS7 is increasingly being used to bridge the PSTN with next-generation Internet Protocol (IP) and 3G Wireless networks. Designed to improve network operation and to provide enhanced services, SS7 carries packetized data to form a low-delay, highly secure and reliable infrastructure that supports voice transport and services over the circuit-switched network. The SS7 standard has been extended for multiple country-specific variations, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore) standards within North America, and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard in Europe. Broadband standards have been defined to support transferring Signaling System 7 messages over ATM to take advantage of the higher speeds and Quality of Service (QoS) available in broadband networks.

The SS7-over-IP standards support transporting SS7 messages over IP-based networks, which enables seamless convergence and inter-working of PSTN and IP protocols within a unified architecture.

GPRS NS

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Network Service (NS) portable software product provides message transport along the signaling and data planes between the Base Station System (BSS) and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) over a Frame Relay carrier network. The main functions of NS are to: Create BSSGP (NS user) Virtual Connections (BVCs) Create Network Service Virtual Connections (NSVCs) over the Frame Relay network Share the BVC traffic load over the associated NSVCs Distribute the load upon NSVC failure and recovery Provide congestion indications to the BSSGP layer Manage procedures on NSVCs Trillium NS software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of soft switches, signaling gateways, signal transfer points, service control points, media gateway controllers or other products to: Accelerate time to market Reduce development costs Reduce project risk of internally developed NS applications Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, a warranty and technical support.

FEATURES + BENEFITS
Distributes Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from its user over multiple NSVCs. This distribution ensures in-sequence delivery during normal operation. Insulates the service user from NSVC failures. The failure and recovery of an NSVC is hidden from the service user. Periodically tests for failure the state of each NSVC. Deactivates (blocks) the failed NSVC upon detecting an NSVC failure. The traffic assigned to the failed NSVC is redistributed among the remaining operational NSVCs to provide continuous service to the service user. Redistributes user traffic to use the new NSVC upon recovery of a failed NSVC or introduction of a new NSVC into the system. The new NSVC provides greater bandwidth to the service user. Indicates NSVC congestion to the service user. Operates in both BSS and SGSN environments. Supports a dynamic BVC learning option for SGSN. Distributes on multiple processor boards. Routes incoming traffic on a set of BVCs to a designated BSSGP user instance. Interfaces with multiple Frame Relay Q.922 layer instances on a per physical link basis. Conforms to Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture (TAPA) Benefits of licensing Trillium software from Continuous Computing

GSM 08.16, Release 1997

GTP
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP) portable software defines the protocol between the General Packet Radio Service Support Nodes (GSNs) within the GPRS backbone network. It includes both signaling and data transfer procedures. GTP is defined for the following interfaces: The Gn interface between GSNs in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) The Gp interface between GSNs in different PLMNs GTP tunnels multiprotocol packets through the GPRS backbone between GSNs. In the signaling plane, GTP specifies a tunnel control and management protocol allowing the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to provide GPRS services for a Mobile Station (MS). Signaling creates, modifies and deletes tunnels. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is used as the path protocol to transfer signaling messages between GSNs. In the transmission plane, GTP uses a tunneling mechanism to carry user data packets.

UNIVERSAL MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (UMTS)

The GTP software product also supports the user plane protocol, GTP-u, between the Radio Network Controller (RNC) in the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) and the Third Generation SGSN (3G-SGSN). At this interface, the corresponding control plane is the Radio Access Network Application Protocol (RANAP).

SUPPORTING GTP ON THE SGSN, GGSN, CGF, AND RNC

The GTP product supports the: GTP, in the control and user plane, between the 2G-SGSN and 2G-GGSN across the Gn and Gp interfaces GTP, in the control plane and user plane, between the 3G-SGSN and 3G-GGSN across the Gn and Gp interfaces GTP user plane (GTP-u) protocol between the 2G-SGSN and 2G-GGSN GTP user plane (GTP-u) protocol between the 3G-SGSN and 3G-GGSN GTP-u protocol between the 3G-SGSN and RNC GTP protocol between the Call Detail Record (CDR) generating the GSNs and the Charging Gateway Functionality (CGF).

CHARGING

The GTP software product supports the GTP across the Ga interface to reliably transfer CDR-related information between the GPRS nodes, generating the CDRs (SGSN and GGSN) and CFG. This functionality applies to both GPRS and UMTS networks.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The GTP software is portable C source code that can be compiled to run on any processor, under any operating system, and with any system architecture. The modular design and simple interfaces allow the GTP software to be easily ported into any environment. Trillium GTP software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of SGSNs, GGSNs, RNCs, or other products to: Accelerate time to market Reduce development costs Reduce project risk of internally developed GTP applications Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training information, a warranty and technical support. Extensive debugging capabilities are provided. Where terminal printing support is available, debug printing can be enabled by using compile-time and run-time options to print information about protocol flows through the layer. Further, every function call contains a trace macro at its entry that can be mapped to print information about the function invocation. This is useful in embedded systems in which other symbolic debugging is unavailable. Extensive error-checking and recovery mechanisms make the GTP software robust enough to deal with normal error conditions. Although error checks are important, disabling them will enhance the performance of the software. In this way, the GTP software permits the user to select the granularity of error checking using compile-time options.
