Performance and Capacity

>

Signaling ratess

TDM Links at 56 Kbps (The system has also been tested using speed of 48K and 64K) SIGTRAN associations at up to 10 Mbps (The system has also been tested at up to 1000 Mbps)

>

Signaling capacity (based on avg. MSU length of 30 bytes)

20,000 MSUs/sec per server

CPU utilization of SGX server does not exceed 85% capacity
