    Abstract In order to achieve five-nines (99.999%) r eliability and a high degree of fault tolerance in an SS7 envir onment using Intel ® NetStructure™ SIU520 signaling gateways, an SS7 end point spread over two signaling interface units (SIUs) and multiple application servers can be configured and deployed.

    Overview of SIU Operation The Intel NetStructure SIU520 SS7 signaling gateway is an SS7 network access product that pr ovides a resilient interface to SS7 networks via a TCP/IP local area net- work (LAN). As shown in Figure 1, SIU520 softwar e includes SS7 protocol layers, as well as a configuration and management module. The SIU520 supports multip ...

    T ransaction-based API Operation TCAP-based applications can be distributed on multiple application hosts using two differ ent methods which are explained in details further in this document (see “Failure of Applications”, pg. 15). These methods imply running TC-user application parts (such as GSM-MAP , INAP , or IS-41) on each application host ...

    Failure of SS7 Links Problem — With a single link to the adjacent signaling point, service is disrupted if the link goes down for some reason (i.e., layer 1 alarm, congestion). Solution — Link resiliency is achieved by using multiple links between a local point code and an adjacent point code. By definition, such links are said to belong to the ...

    Failure of Routes Problem — With a single route to a destination point code (DPC), service can be disrupted if all the links of the link set used to reach that signaling node fail. Route failover is a standard MTP3 operation which does not requir e any specific action from the user application. Solution — T o eliminate this single point of fail ...

    Failure of Power Supply Problem — Ensuring that the unit survives the loss of one power supply and making it possible to replace a failed power supply without affecting the availability of the system. Solution — The Intel NetStructure SIU520 SS7 signaling gateway can be optionally configured with a r edundant and hot swappable power supply . De ...

    partner SIU across the inter -SIU link set and sent out to the adjacent signaling point by the partner unit. The inter - SIU link set also provides the capability of message retrieval and r etransmission when a changeover operation occurs between the two units. ■ For circuit-switched applications, the cir cuit groups ar e configured on both units ...

    In case (A), since the F-links all exist in the same link set, messages may be sent from the adjacent SSP/SCP to either SIUA or SIUB. If an SIU receives a message fr om the SS7 network for a circuit or transaction that it does not control, this r eceive message is passed automatically to the other SIU for processing via the TCP/IP LAN. Connection t ...

    Dual SIU Architectur e for Circuit-Switched Applications Within the SIU environment, circuits ar e configured in groups, each gr oup equating to all the circuits multiplexed onto a single E-1 or T -1 PCM trunk. The SIU provides the SS7 cir cuit control and the application platform (or host) terminates the physical channels, typically with a voice p ...

    If all the links between the controlling SIU and the adjacent signaling point fail, all transmit traffic is automatically routed to the adjacent signaling point through the inter -SIU link set as shown in Figure 11. The application should continue to use the SIU as before, directing all outgoing cir cuit requests to SIUA. If the controlling SIU fai ...

    The circuit gr oup control will then appear as shown in Figure 12. The user application software should r eset all idle circuits following a transfer , and reset all r emaining circuits as they become idle. When the failed unit recovers, contr ol of the circuits may be transferred back by the application. Circuit gr oup control is transferr ed by t ...

    Dual SIU Architectur e for T ransaction-based Applications There ar e two ways of architecting a dual-r esilient SIU520-based system for processing TCAP transactions. ■ Running the SS7 stack up to SCCP on the SIUs ■ Running the SS7 stack up to TCAP on the SIUs In the first case, TCAP and potential layers sitting on top of TCAP run on the applic ...

    In the second case, each unit controls half of the total available transactions. (The Intel NetStructure SIU520 SS7 signaling gateway supports up to 16,384 transac- tions. A dual-resilient system can consequently handle up to 32,768 simultaneous transactions.) Each transaction is processed for its entir e duration by the SIU that processed the firs ...

    Failure of IP Subnetwork Problem — Should one subnetwork go down due to a network component failure, the hosts connected to the SIU over the other subnetworks will remain active and attempt to preserve half of the total system capacity . Solution — There ar e two Ethernet ports on the SIU520. This allows splitting the IP connections between the ...

    TCAP Resiliency Based on DTS/DTC Option Alternatively , it is possible to distribute SCCP traffic to multiple application hosts using the distributed transac- tion server/distributed transaction client (DTS/DTC) soft- ware option, as shown on Part B of Figur e 13. In this architectur e, TCAP and potential application parts run on each application h ...

    Configuring a Dual SIU Pair T o create a dual-r esilient configuration for the Intel NetStructure SIU520 SS7 signaling gateway , modifications are r equired to both the system configuration (done using the man machine interface [MMI]) and the protocol configuration (in the config.txt parameter file). This may be done remotely and trans- ferred to t ...

    The inter -SIU signaling link set can be configur ed to use any signaling processor on any signaling car d and may be carried on any of the available interfaces on the signaling card. If V .11 interfaces are used to carry the SS7 signaling between the SIU and the network (this is typically the case in North America), it is possible that there will ...

The <bpos> and <blink> parameters define which SS7 processor (there ar e three on each signaling car d) manages each link. If a V .11 port is being used, <blink> must be either 1 or 2. For a link using a PCM port, the physical loc ...

    Communicating with Both SIUA and SIUB The user application exchanges information with the SIU via API messages (MSG). In a dual SIU environment, each time the user application sends a message to the SIU, this should be directed to either SIUA or SIUB using a library function GCT_set_instance . In the receive direction, the application can determine ...

This message will only be received by the application if the RSI link is con- figured with the conc_id set to the application’ s module ID. At the same time, the affected SIU (if it can), will issue an API_MSG_SIU_ST A TUS message with status value 30 (dec ...

    Recovery of the Failed Unit The host application is informed of recovery of the communication to the SIU with the same method used for notification of the failure. The RSI_MSG_LINK_ ST A TUS message in this case contains a status value of 1 (link to SIU recover ed). The host nominated to receive management indications (normally host 0) will also re ...

    Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions Q: How can I tell if an SIU fails? A: The status of the communication between the host and the SIU is indicated by RSI_MSG_ST A TUS messages. Q: What happens if an SS7 message for a circuit or transaction is received by an SIU that does not control that cir cuit or transaction? A: The message is automatically ...
