Redundancy and Link Engineering

A properly designed SS7 network always provides at least two physically separate ways to transmit user data. To provide the same level of redundancy using the IP-based solution, node and card redundancy can be used.

The EAGLE can be deployed with completely redundant IP network paths, each of which must be capable of sustaining the worst-case traffic load; or a redundancy model that relies on a mate Signal Transfer Point for IP path redundancy, although this option is less robust (and less expensive).
