  1. M3UA load balancing is taken care. Depending on configuration, most significant bit or least significant bit of SLS is used for load balancing between AS and remaining bits  are used for load balancing between ASP's
  2. At SCCP layer the load balancing between primary and backup address is now configurable for bits 0,1,2,3 and 4 of SLS
  3. Added management event listeners for SCTP, M3UA and SCCP layers for external management and monitoring 
  4. New MAP messages cancelLocation, provideRoamingNumber, sendRoutingInfo, insertSubscriberData implemented
  5. Implemented GEO Primitives in MAP
  6. M3UA number of ASP that should be active for loadbalancing can now be configured at AS creation time
  7. Added support for UCS2 and Urdu GSM7 Bit encoding for USSD
In addition many bugs fixed and some performance improvements. Complete list of issues covered in this release are listed here http://code.google.com/p/jss7/issues/list?can=1&q=Version%3D2.0.0.BETA3&sort=priority+version&groupby=version&colspec=Summary+Type+Status+ID&cells=tiles

WARNING :
If you are upgrading to jSS7 2.0.0.BETA3 from older version, make sure you delete the SccpStack_sccpresource.xml and SccpStack_sccprouter.xml from persist directory. These are the files where SCCP persists configurations. You will have to execute the SCCP commands again from CLI. This is because there are changes in XML tags of persist directory and instead of using fully qualified calss names, it now uses the nouns which is in line with how its done in M3UA and SCTP. See the issue http://code.google.com/p/jss7/issues/detail?id=146

Mobicents SMSC Gateway achieves 1000 SMS/Sec rate!

Mobicents SMSC is first and only open source SMSC Gateway completely on Java. Last week SMSC Gateway was put under stress in production environment at one of the Tier-1 operators.

We are glad to announce that Mobicents SMSC Gateway achieved 1000 SMS/Sec rate and successfully delivered 1 billion SMS's per day per SMSC instance. With Cluster of 4 SMSC instances doing load balance, it easily reaches 3.8 Billion SMS per day.

The test environment was based on "Bulk SMS" application where ESME would submit the SMS's to SMSC and SMSC in-turn would do MAP SRI for MSISDN and then ForwardSM. Since this was real life scenario, there were Components Error like user not available and other MAP error conditions which SMSC handled gracefully.

The Bulk SMS Application used is developed and contributed by TeleStax partners Convergence 

Mobicents SMSC Gateway is deployed on Quad Core Dual Processor Servers - Intel Xeon X5570. The OS is CentOS 5.8.  JVM minimum(-Xms) and maximum(-Xmx) memory set is 3GB.

Below is the wireshark screenshot showing the throughput from ESME


For each SMS on an average there were 4 MAP messages getting exchanged; the throughput in terms of MAP is more than 4000 MAP messages/sec. Below is the wireshark analysis of MAP messages

Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.FINAL Released!


We are proud to announce first final release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.FINAL
