Signaling transport over IP-based networks using IETF standards
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes some of the reliability features of the transport layers of the signaling system no. 7 (SS7) and compares them to the reliability and performance achievable with the protocol stack for signaling transport over IP currently being defined in the SIGTRAN working group of the IETF. It identifies parameters which have to be adjusted and restrictions to available addressing options which have to be made in order for the SIGTRAN protocol stack to achieve the reliability and performance of SS7.

IP over all-optical networks-issues
IP over Optical is being envisioned as one of the most attractive architectures for the new Internet. There have been various proposals in IETF and other international standards organizations regarding the interaction of IP routers and Optical core networks. This paper describes the architectural alternatives for the integration of IP and DWDM networks using Multiprotocol Lambda Switching (MPLa...
متن کاملSctp Congestion Control Performance in Wireless Multi-hop Networks*
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is originally designed for signaling transport over IP-based networks in the Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) group of IETF and it has the potential to be an alternative transport protocol that may be better able to satisfy the requirements of future battlefield network than traditional protocols, TCP and UDP. SCTP performance over IEEE 802.11 is being e...
متن کاملReliable Signalling Transport in Next Generation Networks
Next-generation network architectures aim at the convergence of services (e.g. telephony, television, Web access, online games, and new services) over a common IP core. Additionally, the integration of wired and wireless access technologies will offer users ubiquitous access to all those services. Telecommunications networks rely on signalling protocols to perform key service control functions ...
متن کاملProtection and Restoration in DWDM Networks: Recent Developments and Issues
Protection using rings has been the common method of reducing downtime on SONET/SDH based telecommunication networks. With the trend towards IP over DWDM, there is a need for IP based protection and restoration mechanisms. In this paper, the mechanisms being developed at several standards organizations including OIF, IETF, and ITU are described. These mechanisms are in some sense more powerful ...
متن کاملDesign Issues for SIGMA: Seamless IP diversity based Generalized Mobility Architecture
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel transport layer mobility management scheme: Seamless IP diversity based Generalized Mobility Architecture (SIGMA). SIGMA provides seamless handover for mobile hosts and is based on SCTP, which is a new reliable transport protocol introduced by IETF to transport SS7 signaling messages over IP network. We also show that our handover scheme can greatl...
