The invention relates to message handling in SS7 commu nications networks. An inventive
network arrangement com prises at least two SS7 network elements having a common first …

A signaling network node is configured for generating a routing decision based on
selectively masking a point code field from a received SS7 signaling message. The received …

An arrangement for coupling a SCP (Signaling Control Point) and Signaling Transfer Point
(STP) nodes of a SS7 network is disclosed. The arrangement includes an aggregated …

BACKGROUND 0003. In SS7 networks, signaling points or nodes are typi cally identified by
one or more point codes. Point codes are used for signaling message addressing, signaling …

A node, which supports enhanced link sets, which includes two signaling point codes such
that one of the signaling point codes is used to identify functions and MTP users which can …

The present invention relates to a method and network element for providing linkset-related
SS7 network functions based on M3UA messages. In particular the present invention …

BACKGROUND In order to route signaling system 7 (SS7) messages, net work elements
within an SS7 network must be configured with a routable network identity or address (eg, a …

The inventive SS7 signaling server for routing SS7 links, includes a signaling transfer point
(STP) and a signaling application server (SAS). STP and SAS have different functionalities …
