A Route represents a signaling path from a local (LSP) point code to a remote signaling point (RSP) point code using a given Link Set. Routes are needed for adjacent RSPs to route network management signaling. A Route consists of an RSP, a Link Set, and a relative cost.
There can be up to two routes between a local point code and a remote point code.
Each Route has a cost. The Signaling Network Interface attempts to route signaling over the lower cost Route. If two Routes have the same cost, signaling is load-shared across both Routes.
The Signaling Network Interface supports 1024 routes per site.
The SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes page shows all configured Routes. Each Remote Signaling Point can have a maximum of two Routes.
The SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes page also provides a link to the SS7/Sigtran > Maintenance > Remote Signaling Points page where you can view the status of all configured Routes and destinations and manually reset the network status of a Route.
