Access Point Name
The name identifying a general packet radio service (GPRS) bearer service in a GSM mobile network. See also GSM.
Conditioning Action
NPP CAs indicate what digit conditioning actions to execute when processing a digit string.
Charging Proxy Application
The Charging Proxy Application (CPA) feature defines a DSR-based Charging Proxy Function (CPF) between the CTFs and the CDFs. The types of CTF include GGSN, PGW, SGW, HSGW, and CSCF/TAS.
Certificate Signature Request
A message sent from an applicant to a certificate authority to generate a 3rd party-signed local certificate.
Certificate Signing Request
A message sent from an applicant to a certificate authority to generate a 3rd party-signed local certificate.
Comma-Separated Values
The comma-separated value file format is a delimited data format that has fields separated by the comma character and records separated by newlines (a newline is a special character or sequence of characters signifying the end of a line of text).
Domain Name System
A system for converting Internet host and domain names into IP addresses.
Differentiated Services Code Point
Provides a framework and building blocks to enable deployment of scalable service discrimination in the internet. The differentiated services are realized by mapping the code point contained in a field in the IP packet header to a particular forwarding treatment or per-hop behavior (PHB). Differentiated services or DiffServ is a computer networking architecture that specifies a simple, scalable and coarse-grained mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (QoS) on modern IP networks.
Diameter Signaling Router
A set of co-located Message Processors which share common Diameter routing tables and are supported by a pair of OAM servers. A DSR Network Element may consist of one or more Diameter nodes.
Extension Shelf
The shelves in the EAGLE hat contain cards other than control cards (E5-OAM, GPSM-II for OAM, TDM, and MDAL cards). This shelf can be added to and removed from the database. These shelves are numbered from 1200 to 6100.
Full Address Based Resolution
Provides an enhanced DSR routing capability to enable network operators to resolve the designated Diameter server addresses based on individual user identity addresses in the incoming Diameter request messages.
IP Front End
A traffic distributor that routes TCP traffic sent to a target set address by application clients across a set of application servers. The IPFE minimizes the number of externally routable IP addresses required for application clients to contact application servers.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
A protocol for providing and receiving directory information in a TCP/IP network.
Local SCCP User
Refers to an Application Configured with a Subsystem Number to handle “rt-on-ssn” traffic for local signaling point code hosted on MP server.
Mobile Application Part
An application part in SS7 signaling for mobile communications systems.
Mobile Country Code
A three-digit number that uniquely identifies a country served by wireless telephone networks. The MCC is part of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, which uniquely identifies a particular subscriber. See also MNC, IMSI.
Operations – Monitoring the environment, detecting and determining faults, and alerting administrators.
Administration – Typically involves collecting performance statistics, accounting data for the purpose of billing, capacity planning, using usage data, and maintaining system reliability.
Maintenance – Provides such functions as upgrades, fixes, new feature enablement, backup and restore tasks, and monitoring media health (for example, diagnostics).
Range Based Address Resolution
A DSR enhanced routing application which allows you to route Diameter end-to-end transactions based on Application ID, Command Code, Routing Entity Type, and Routing Entity address ranges.
Session Binding Repository
A highly available, distributed database for storing Diameter session binding data.
Signaling Connection Control Part
The signaling connection control part with additional functions for the Message Transfer Part (MTP) in SS7 signaling. Messages can be transmitted between arbitrary nodes in the signaling network using a connection-oriented or connectionless approach.
SSH File Transfer Protocol (sometimes also called Secure File Transfer Protocol)
A client-server protocol that allows a user on one computer to transfer files to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with version two of the SSH protocol.
Signaling Gateway
A network element that receives/sends SCN native signaling at the edge of the IP network. The SG function may relay, translate or terminate SS7 signaling in an SS7-Internet Gateway. The SG function may also be coresident with the MG function to process SCN signaling associated with line or trunk terminations controlled by the MG (for example, signaling backhaul). A Signaling Gateway could be modeled as one or more Signaling Gateway Processes, which are located at the border of the SS7 and IP networks. Where an SG contains more than one SGP, the SG is a logical entity and the contained SGPs are assumed to be coordinated into a single management view to the SS7 network and to the supported Application Servers.
Simple Network Management Protocol.
An industry-wide standard protocol used for network management. The SNMP agent maintains data variables that represent aspects of the network. These variables are called managed objects and are stored in a management information base (MIB). The SNMP protocol arranges managed objects into groups.
Signaling System #7
A communications protocol that allows signaling points in a network to send messages to each other so that voice and data connections can be set up between these signaling points. These messages are sent over its own network and not over the revenue producing voice and data paths. The EAGLE is an STP, which is a device that routes these messages through the network.
Secure Shell
A protocol for secure remote login and other network services over an insecure network. SSH encrypts and authenticates all EAGLE IPUI and MCP traffic, incoming and outgoing (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks.
SIP Signaling Router
Function responsible for querying a redirection server and proxying requests to other SSR servers, redirect servers, SSR Service Points, and Gateways. It helps in evolving a Flat NGN network into a hierarchical network.
SCCP User Adaptation Layer
A protocol for the transport of any SCCP-User signaling over IP using the SCTP. The protocol is designed to be modular and symmetric, to allow it to work in diverse architectures.
Transmission Control Protocol
A connection-oriented protocol used by applications on networked hosts to connect to one another and to exchange streams of data in a reliable and in-order manner.
Transport Layer Security
A cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications over networks such as the Internet. TLS encrypts the segments of network connections at the transport layer end-to-end. TLS is an IETF standards track protocol.
Tekelec Platform Development
The Oracle Communications Tekelec Platform (TPD) is a standard Linux-based operating system packaged and distributed by Oracle. TPD provides value-added features for managing installations and upgrades, diagnostics, integration of 3rd party software (open and closed source), build tools, and server management tools.
Target Set Address
An externally routable IP address that the IPFE presents to application clients. The IPFE distributes traffic sent to a target set address across a set of application servers.
User Data Repository
A logical entity containing user data.
User-Data-Request
A user-identity and service indication sent by a Diameter client to a Diameter server in order to request user data.
