Introduction
• SS7 is a continuation of CCIS
• SS7 actually called CCS7 in North America
• ITU-T’s version is SS7
• Japan has a slightly different version
![Page 3: SS7 TDC 364. Introduction SS7 is a continuation of CCIS SS7 actually called CCS7 in North America ITU-T’s version is SS7 Japan has a slightly different](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e615503460f94b5bd97/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages
• + Flexible – a packet switched network that sends signals – any signals – old and new
• + One language (SS7) for local calls, long distance calls, overseas, 1-800, …

Types of Nodes
• STP (Signal Transfer Point) – Packet switches that route signal messages to their proper point
• STPs always occur in pairs• SSP (Service Switching Point) – The
interface into the SS7 network• SSPs convert ISDN or DTMF signals to
SS7 signals for the STPs

Types of Nodes
• SCP (Service Control Point) – Database of information for credit card authorizations, billing information, 1-800 conversions, etc.

Types of Links
• Cross links – interconnect the STPs in a pair
• Bridge links – connect pairs of STPs (into quads)
• Access links – connect SCPs and SSPs to STPs
• (See Figures 18.3, 18.4, 18.5)

SS7 Architecture
• Recall: SS7 is a packet switched network
• A virtual connection, called an SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Part) is established between the two endpoints of the connection (the SSPs) before any signals are sent
• The STPs are the switching nodes
![Page 11: SS7 TDC 364. Introduction SS7 is a continuation of CCIS SS7 actually called CCS7 in North America ITU-T’s version is SS7 Japan has a slightly different](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e615503460f94b5bd97/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Four Layers of SS7
• Layer 1 (the lowest) – Message Transfer Part – Level 1 (MTP-L1) – the physical layer
• Layer 2 – Signaling link layer, or MTP-L2 – provides error detection and correction on signaling links
![Page 12: SS7 TDC 364. Introduction SS7 is a continuation of CCIS SS7 actually called CCS7 in North America ITU-T’s version is SS7 Japan has a slightly different](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e615503460f94b5bd97/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Four Layers of SS7
• Layer 3 – Signaling network layer (MTP-L3) – routes messages
• Layer 4 – fairly complex layer with many possible protocols and services, such as flow control, sequence control, end-to-end call control, converting 1-800 numbers to POTS numbers, and more
• (See Figure 18.6)

Signaling Units
• Frames in SS7 are called Signaling Units (HDLC-like)
• Three forms– MSU (Message SU)– LSSU (Link Status SU)– FISU (Fill-In SU) when a link is idle but you
want to convey there is still a connection
