M3UA (MTP-3 User Adaptation Layer) is a protocol for supporting the transport of SS7 MTP-3 User Signaling (e.g. ISUP or SCCP messages) over IP using the services of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Also, provision is made for protocol elements that enable a seamless operation of the MTP-3 User peers in the SS7 and IP domains. This protocol would be used between Signaling Gateway (SG) and Media Gateway Controller (MGC) or IP-Resident Database, or between two IP-based applications. It is assumed that SG receives SS7 signaling over a standard SS7 interface using the SS7 message Transfer Part (MTP) to provide transport.
Sure Speed M3UA is a high performance implementation of M3UA protocol (RFC 4666, RFC 3332). It is based on our proprietary Sure Speed framework that ensures a high level of performance for all our protocol implementations.
Features
-
Supports functionality specified in RFC 3332, RFC 4666
-
Designed to be transport layer independent. It can be easily used over SCTP, TCP, UDP or any other transport layer like UDPLite
-
SIGTRAN is being used in GSM/UMTS networks also, apart from other SS7 networks
-
In built memory manager for avoiding any memory allocations during run time
-
Can be easily compiled over SOLARIS, LINUX and other UNIX like OSes
-
Sample Application runs over SCTP and UDP. SCTP used is LK-SCTP
-
Supports ASP,SGP & IPSP mode of communication
-
Multiple ASP in single AS, Multiple SGP in single SG
-
Single ASP serving multiple AS
-
IPSP-IPSP mode of communication supported with both single exchange & dual exchange support
-
Network Appearance, Routing Context, Traffic Mode can be excluded from ASPTM, SSNM,TRAFFIC messages
-
Multiple ASP and SGP can be configured simultaneously.
-
Supports single as well as multiple threaded environment.
-
A highly efficient design has been used to minimize the latency involved in processing M3UA TRANSFER procedure.
