> MTP – ANSI, ITU/ETSI, Japan, China

> M2PA (RFC 4165)

> M3UA (RFC 4666)

> SUA (SS7 SCCP User Adaptation Layer) (RFC 3868)

> TCAP over IP (via Sonus PSX™ policy & routing server)

> ISUP over IP (via Sonus GSX media gateway) – ANSI, ITU, Japan and China

> SCCP – ANSI, ITU and Japan v8

Sigtran Support > External (toward signaling network): M2PA (ANSI, ITU, Japan), M3UA (ANSI, ITU)

> Internal (toward Sonus network elements): M3UA, SUA

> SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) (RFC 4960)

Performance and Capacity > Signaling ratess

– TDM Links at 56 Kbps (The system has also been tested using speed of 48K and 64K)

– SIGTRAN associations at up to 10 Mbps (The system has also been tested at up to 1000 Mbps)

> Signaling capacity (based on avg. MSU length of 30 bytes)

– 20,000 MSUs/sec per server

CPU utilization of SGX server does not exceed 85% capacity
