Trillium | LDF - TCAP (DFT/HA)
Description
The LDF - TCAP software enables Trillium Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) portable software to run in a distributed environment. As shown in the figure below, LDF - TCAP software provides the means to distribute the TCAP traffic (both network and user traffic) onto multiple hardware platforms, thus increasing the traffic handling capacity of a subsystem.
Trillium LDF - TCAP enables telecom equipment manufacturers of soft switches, signaling gateways, signal transfer points, service control points, media gateway controllers or other products to:
- Accelerate time to market
- Reduce development costs
- Reduce project risk of internally developed TCAP applications
Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, a warranty and technical support.
Features + Benefits
- The signaling message traffic from the TCAP users (MAP, INAP and so on) can be distributed based on the subsystem number and the variant of that TCAP user.
- The traffic from the network for a particular variant and subsystem (user) can be distributed onto multiple instances of TCAP based upon the presence of the following parameters (referred to as optional distribution keys) in the signaling message:
- Destination address (point code and subsystem number)
- Ranges of transaction IDs
- LDF - TCAP can be configured to divide traffic fairly across a set of processors or it can be configured to carry different amounts of traffic on different processors.
- LDF - TCAP can be configured to route traffic to the service user and provider on the same processor to avoid cross-traffic.
- In case of failure of a TCAP processor, the traffic of that processor can be handled by any other TCAP processor with minimal losses.
- Support for customer supplied distribution functions (if required) and flexibility of user choice for distribution keys and distribution mechanisms.
- LDF - TCAP supports all the variants currently supported by Trillium TCAP software.
- Conforms to Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture (TAPA)
- Benefits of licensing Trillium software from Continuous Computing
