4 Days Course
Course Details
The Managing Sigtran Protocols course provides information about SIGTRAN protocols message structure, network architecture and stack configuration.
The SS#7 protocols high reliability led to their adaptation over the new IP stack, the SIGTRAN protocol suite makes possible SS#7 signalling messages exchange over the modern IP-based telecommunications networks. SCTP, M2PA and M3UA protocols will be analyzed with a particular focus.
The lab activities include SIGTRAN messages tracings depth analysis and cover all the different types of adaptation provided by the protocol suite (M2PA, M2UA, M3UA, etc.).
