1: SIGTRAN Introduction The SIGTRAN protocol is a set of transmission control protocols established by SIGTRAN, the IETF's signaling Transfer Working Group, to transmit PSTN signaling over an IP network. SIGTRAN defines a complete SIGTRAN protocol stack, which consists of fo
NGN features a complex converged network based on multiple IP technology vendors, multiple technologies, and different architectures. Softswitch plays an extremely important role in controlling such a heterogeneous network.
Control is implemented through protocols. The main Protocols involved in implementing Softswitch include H.323, H.248/MEGACO, SIP, SIGTRAN, and BICC.
Check five major protocols
H.323 Protocol
H.323 is a set of standards that provi
The new Softswitch technology standard is released as next-generation network guidance. NGN is the core technology of softswitch, involving issues such as SIPSessionInitiationProtocol, H.248/MEGACO Protocol, and SIGTRAN protocol signaling transfer protocol.
The Softswitch technical standard is the control function entity of the Next Generation Network. It provides Call Control and Connection Control functions for businesses with real-time requirements
sigtran. This project started in 1996 and implemented the No. 7 signaling system recommended in the ituq.700 series. With the rise of VoIP and SoftSwitch, openss7 focuses on the implementation of sigtran protocol (sigtran can be considered as the NGN version of SS7 ). In fact, openss7 is not limited to the 7th signaling, but a series of ISDN and SoftSwitch signa
coordination center between the Circuit Switching Network and the IP network. It controls various media gateways to achieve service layer fusion between different networks. The protocol used by SoftSwitch.
In the communication system, the control is solved through negotiation, and a protocol is required accordingly. In the NGN architecture, as the control center, Softswitch is implemented by supporting multiple protocols such as H.248/MEGACO, SIP, SIGTRAN
technology. International organizations engaged in softswitch standards are mainly IETF and ITU-T. starting from the standpoint of the computer and telecom respectively, it has contributed to the softswitch protocol 。
Protocols between media gateways and vswitches
The protocols between media gateways and vswitches except SG are MGCP and MEGACO/H.248. MGCP is a version earlier than MEGACO/H.248, its flexibility and scalability are not comparable to MEGACO/H.248, and its support for multiple carr
, routing, authentication, billing, and other functions. It also provides users with all the services available to existing circuit switches, it also provides third-party programmable capabilities." As the core of NGN, Softswitch is the coordination center between the Circuit Switching Network and the IP network. It controls various media gateways to achieve service layer fusion between different networks.
In the communication system, the control is solved through negotiation, and a protocol is
between SCN and IP addresses. Signaling Gateway SG is responsible for signaling conversion, only the underlying conversion of SCN signaling is performed, that is, the TDM circuit is switched to the IP network transmission mode without changing the application layer message. The Softswitch is responsible for controlling the establishment and release of the Media Gateway connection based on the received signaling. Softswitch is used to analyze and process signaling messages and implement intercom
controls and manages the bearer control resources of media gateway, including MGCP and H.248/MEGACO.
2) interface protocol between MGC and the signaling gateway (SG): used to transmit the signaling information between MGC and the signaling gateway. This interface protocol can use the SIGTRAN protocol. The lower layer of SIGTRAN uses the SCTP protocol to provide reliable connections for TCP/IP network trans
protocol RSTP.
The IETF signaling transmission Working Group (sigtran) is defining and improving another mechanism for transmitting signaling messages, which is just becoming the ietfrfc stream control transmission protocol (sctp ). This Protocol enables the exchange of signaling messages on an IP-based public group switching network. Traffic Control and error control are implemented end-to-end, to improve the effectiveness, you can use a cluster of

1. Integrated business Control Point (ISCP)
The integrated service Control point has the function of business controlling (SCF), as the core equipment of the integrated intelligent network, it can connect to ISSP directly or through signaling network and Sigtran, and control ISSP for call continuation.
2. Integrated Business Exchange Point (ISSP)
The integrated service Exchange point is the connection point between the existing commun
handling and interconnection protocols, such as MGCP, H.323, and SIP. In the future, communication protocols such as H.248 and SIGTRAN will also be supported. The WCS can also be combined with a variety of VoIP user equipment, whether it is USB Phone, IP Phone, Gateway, IP-PBX, etc., can be perfectly combined with the WCS. In addition, the WCS provides various solutions for VoIP NAT. In most IP network environments, user devices can use the VoIP func

Softswitch is an open, multi-protocol entity. Therefore, various standard protocols must be used to communicate with various media gateways, application servers, terminals, and networks, protects user investment to the maximum extent and gives full play to the role of existing communication networks. These protocols include H.323, SIP, H.248, MGCP, SIGTRAN, RTP, and INAP.

Because the 3G test network is required by the R99 format, therefore softswitch in this 3G test network does not have a significant application, the external interface of each manufacturer's equipment is the standar

Sctp is regarded as a Transport Layer Protocol. Its upper layer is sctp user applications, and the lower layer is used as a group network. In the application of the sigtran protocol, the upper-layer sctp user is the adaptation module of SCN signaling (such as m2ua and m3ua), and the lower layer is the IP network.Directory
