Applicata SS7/Diameter to HTTP Gateway
What Is SS7/Diameter-to-HTTP Gateway
SS7/Diameter to HTTP Gateway is a software that stays between SS7 and Diameter related applications and services and the nodes/services in core networks. It:
- Converts SS7 and Diameter messages coming from SS7 and ePC networks to HTTP messages with JSON payload and sends them to applications
- Converts HTTP messages with JSON payload coming from applications to SS7 and Diameter protocol messages and sends them to nodes and services in the core networks
Features
Set of SS7 CAP/MAP operations and parameters and Diameter applications
Includes the most frequently used set of SS7 operations/parameters and Diameter applications. This set is extendable on customer requests.
Incoming and Outgoing dialogs
Full support for CAP/MAP request, indication, response and confirmation messages and Diameter Request/Answer messages.
Service High Availability
Dual-resilient configuration option.
Extendable Performance
Multiple Instances, Load-balancing and load protection control.
Monitoring Interface
Maintains large set of gauges and counters, Support for Prometheus.
Benefits
Low cost
The Gateway includes SS7 and Diameter protocol stacks and is distributed in source code and binaries form under AGPL license terms.
The software is not limited to specific server and transition rates and can be used company-wide.
Short Development Timey
The development can be done using the preferred programming language using the popular HTTP protocol and easy to handle JSON API.
Support
Applicata offers professional services for maintenance and support for handling change requests for implementing additional SS7 and/or Diameter messages and parameters.
Use Case Scenarios
- Middleware between SS7/Diameter Applications/Services and SS7 Core and ePC network.
- Simulator of the remote network nodes during the Application/Services development.
- Testing Tool for running script-based functional pre-acceptance, acceptance, penetration and periodic testing of services and nodes in SS7 core and ePC networks.
