Standards and Specifications

This appendix describes the specific standards that Gatekeeper supports, and provides, where possible, links to the actual specifications. A detailed statement of compliance is also available.

 


Application-Facing Interfaces

Parlay X 2.1

The Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper application-facing interfaces support the following parts of the Parlay X 2.1 specification.

Note: See http://portal.etsi.org/docbox/TISPAN/Open/OSA/ParlayX21.html for links to the specifications.

Parlay X 3.0

The Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper application-facing interfaces support the following parts of the Draft Parlay X 3.0 specification.

Note: See http://portal.etsi.org/docbox/TISPAN/Open/OSA/ParlayX30.html for links to the specifications

Extended Web Services

The Extended Web Services are Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper’s proprietary application-facing interfaces. These interfaces are implementations of commonly requested functionality, including, in this release, WAP Push, Binary SMS, and Subscriber Profile. Although the interfaces themselves are not standardized, they use standardized elements.

Binary SMS

Note: See http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/23040.htm for links to the specification.

The payload, protocol identifier, and validity period rely on:

WAP Push

Note: See http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wap/wapindex.html for links to the specifications.

The payload of a WAP Push message shall adhere to:

Note: The Extended Web Services WAP Push communication service does not verify the payload; it passes it on to the underlying network node.

Subscriber Profile LDAP

There is no current specifications covering subscriber-profile LDAP access, although a draft version exists. Gatekeeper’s implementation is based on that draft.

RESTful APIs

There are no current specifications covering RESTful access to underlying telephony network functionality.

Native

Gatekeeper also supports some native telephony messaging application-facing interfaces. The following specifications are supported:

 


Network Protocol Plug-Ins

Off-the shelf, Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper supports the network protocols listed in Table 10-1 through the use of network plug-ins. Although each plug-in is a part of a given communication service, certain protocols can be used by multiple communication services for different purposes. In these cases there may be multiple implementations of the same protocol for use in different communication services.

Table 10-1 is a list of supported network protocols organized per communication service.
