Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.FINAL Released!


We are proud to announce first final release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.FINAL 
NOTE : This release comes with a change in name and home for Mobicents SS7. The new name is jSS7 which stands for Java SS7. jSS7 has its own home at http://code.google.com/p/jss7/ and is moved to git repository
There are no new feature additions. From now on all new feature additions and fixes will be made to jSS7 master http://code.google.com/p/jss7/source/browse/ 

Mobicents jSS7 is the only OSS Java implementation of SS7. It comes with JSLEE MAP and ISUP Resource Adaptors (RA) to make life of legacy developers very easy as they have to just understand the RA and don't have to worry about SS7 stack.
Mobicents jSS7 is compatible with Dialogic boards and also has inbuilt support for SIGTRAN (M3UA).

Release includes:
----------------------------------------------- 
  • ASN library

Shiny new Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR3 released!

We are proud to announce candidate release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR3.

The focus was to stabilize the stack and test with as many MSC/HLR/STP as we could get our hands on. Also made M3UA more flexible in terms of consuming message without Routing Context (RC). The biggest achievement is performance. One of the community user reported 15000+ MAP messages exchanged per second in their lab testing (using mobicents MAP load test tool)! This is biggest achievement so far. Will make the details available soon.

TCAP stack can be configured to control maximum concurrent dialog's that stack can maintain after which it stops accepting request for creation of new Dialog. Details of all the fixes available here http://www.mobicents.org/ss7/roadmap.html

Big thanks to community to try out Mobicents SS7 and make an effort to report the issues, submit fixes and take it closer to GA level!

Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2 Released!

We are happy to announce of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2.

Thanks to all contributors who tested and reported bugs to make this release more solid!

The main focus was to stabilize the stack and change M3UA architecture to get support for IPSP and introduce single exchange as well as double exchange of ASP state maintenance and traffic maintenance messages. Also introduced SCTP library that makes M3UA independent of transport layer.

We hate to change the API in between CR releases, but in this case we had to as M3UA was already blocking the flexibility to add new features and fixes. If you are using M3UA from CR1, I request you to thoroughly read the SCTP and M3UA chapter in docs as also the commands have changed.

Another achievement for CR2 is we removed the polling mechanism from abstract MTP3 layer which was consuming 100% CPU. Rather it now uses the blocking method where thread waits for data to arrive or when the layer ontop wants to send the data. This way CPU load increases gradually with load.

As usual made bug fixes.

Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR1 Released

We are happy to announce first candidate release of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR1

This is big step towards the stabilizing SS7 stack. The main focus is to introduce the support for multiple versions of MAP messages for example SMS v1,2 and 3 is supported USSD v2 an v3 is supported. Various error conditions are taken care and stack correctly intimates peer about the error conditions. The stack checks for payload message length before passing it to
lower layer, raising exception if length is greater than acceptable limits. Also M3UA is stabilized and M3UA AS side can initiate connection with peer automatically if the network link between two breaks and comes up again.

The MAP-User can pass the custom invoke timeout when invoking the operation using the overloaded method. Default uses the invoke timeout specified in specification.

-----------------------------------------------

Release includes:

-----------------------------------------------

  • ASN library
  • ss7 protocols including the lowest layer MTP2/MTP3 to higher layer ISUP, SCCP, TCAP and MAP
  • Mobicents Service
  • Mobicents Signaling Gateway
  • Shell Management Interface

Mobicents SS7 Gateway Released!!

Here comes the very first official binary release of Mobicents SS7 Gateway.

What is Mobicents SS7 Gateway?

Mobicents team has been working on SS7 stack for quite sometime now. You will find all the details here. Mobicents also has a high-performance, scalable and fault tolerant JAIN SLEE Server over which we have developed MAP Resource Adaptor (RA) and Java Call Control Adaptor (JCC RA).
There is increasing demand from community and few of our customers to have independent gateway that can take care of MAP messages viz, USSD, SMS and LMS out-of-box, hence the idea of Mobicents SS7 Gateway was born. Initially it was named as Mobicents USSD Gateway, but its much more than just USSD and can take care of LMS and SMS as well. Hence we decided to call it as Mobicents SS7 Gateway. Though the first release BETA1 is only capable of USSD and from BETA2 release it will include other services.

Feature Overview

  • High Level API : Simplified interface for application developers developing applications over USSD, SMS and LMS. The GW communicates over HTTP/SIP and is configurable and hence Application developers need not dive in ocean of SS7. Bellow diagram shows the architecture overview of Gateway (GW)
  • HTTP / SIP API : Once GW is configured to use HTTP or SIP, the XML payload is exchanged between GW and Application over configured protocol.
  • Application systems have no dependency on Operating System or middle-ware tier. The GW sends pure HTTP/SIP messages and Application deployed over any web-server's like JBoss/Tomcat/Microsoft - IIS/Oracle Weblogic/IBM Websphere etc for HTTP and any SIP Server like Mobicents Sip Servlets/SailFin/Cipango/OCCAS can execute the business logic.
  • Tools : GW is bundled with Simulator which helps to simulate the actual MAP messages over M3UA. There is no need to have access to real SS7 environment for development environment increasing the efficiency and turn arround time.
  • Application : The same application can work over any SS7 network connecting to multiple operator's.
