Dialogic® SIGTRAN Monitor
The Dialogic® SIGTRAN Monitor delivers high-performance, high-density protocol monitoring that enables applications to interrogate SIGTRAN traffic between active signaling points and trigger intelligent actions. SIGTRAN Monitor, a software only application, joins Dialogic® boards (Dialogic® DSI SS7MDL4, SS7HDP and SS7HDC) that have circuit-switched network monitoring capabilities. The SIGTRAN Monitor enables SS7 messages to be monitored on SIGTRAN Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) associations executing over Ethernet. SCTP messages from one or more Ethernet ports can be selectively passed to a user application in real time. Because the SIGTRAN Monitor’s API is similar to the Dialogic® hardware monitoring API for TDM, existing monitoring applications can be ported easily from monitoring TDM links to monitoring SIGTRAN links.
Applications that can take advantage of call-related monitoring activity include:
- Network management — Analyzers can produce comprehensive protocol traces, call statistics, information on bandwidth utilization, and more.
- Missed call alert — Fixed-line subscribers can retrieve a list of missed calls.
- Advertising and marketing — Advertising and marketing executives can use location-based messages and locationsensitive web pages to track behavior.
| Features | Benefits | |
| Monitors traffic over an Ethernet hub or managed switch as defined by simple configuration settings | Easily supports common variations in network architecture | |
| Monitors multiple Ethernet ports simultaneously | A single software instance can monitor a high volume of traffic | |
| Monitors user-selected types from M2PA, M3UA, and ISUP messages as well as those from specific network nodes | Minimizes the CPU and network load by capturing only those messages that pertain to the user application | |
| Parses SCTP packets into discrete messages | Simplifies the user application by performing low-level, complex message decoding | |
| Messages are delivered to user applications in configurable formats – with and without IP or SIGTRAN headers | Delivers different levels of information depending on specific requirements | |
| Detects traffic congestion and defers sending monitored messages until congestion abates | Prevents monitoring from degrading the primary mission of the SIGTRAN service | |
| Software solution installable on any system with Ethernet connectivity | Does not require additional hardware peripherals or system slots | |
| Various capacities are available to meet network density and throughput demands | Matches capital expense to specific performance requirements | |
