NetTest delivers SIGTRAN testing solutions. (Breaking News).NetTest, a provider of testing, monitoring, management and optical component solutions for advanced and converged networks, has announced the addition of its SIGTRAN (SIGnaling TRANsport) An IP telephony protocol from the IETF that is used to transfer SS7 signals over IP networks. The telco switch sends SS7 signals to a signaling gateway (SG) that converts them into SIGTRAN packets, which travel over IP to the next signaling gateway or (Signaling Transport Protocol) Conformance Test Suites to its line of next-generation network test solutions on the inter WATCH Performance and Verification System. The SIGTRAN Test Suites, available for both the Message Transfer Part (MTP) Level 3 (M3UA M3UA MTP (Message Transfer Part) Level 3 User Adaptation Layer (IETF) M3UA Mtp3 User Adaptation ) and ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. User Adaptation (IUA) Layer protocols, allow equipment manufacturers and network operators to verify conformity and interoperability of their SIGTRAN implementations to industry standards, helping reduce the cost, risk and time associated with the development and deployment of converged networks. SIGTRAN is a VoIP protocol that allows PSTN network's Signaling System 7 (SS7) and ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network Integrated services digital network (ISDN) A generic term referring to the integration of communications services transported over digital facilities such as wire pairs, coaxial cables, optical fibers, microwave radio, and satellites. ) traffic transport over IP networks. SIGTRAN enables carriers to exchange the signaling information of PSTN telephony switching systems with VoIP networks, providing smoo th transition of new converged IP telephony services. SIGTRAN transports PSTN Signaling System 7 (SS7) traffic over IP-based networks using various protocol components and adaptation modules, including the Stream Control Transmission Protocol In the field of computer networking, the IETF Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) working group defined the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as a transport layer protocol in 2002. RFC 2960 defines the protocol, with RFC 3286 providing an introductory text. (SCTP), MTP Level 3 User Adaptation (M3UA), MTP Level 2 User Adaptation (M2UA) and ISDN User Adaptation Layer (IUA) protocols. www.neffest.com/ats, 888-201-9493 |
