Integrated Message Feeder (IMF)

When monitoring IPx links using IMF, Oracle requires that HIPR2 cards and at least one STC card are configured on the same shelf as the IPx cards. Only M2PA links that are RFC 4165 compliant can be monitored. A minimum of two STC cards are required per system to turn on the monitoring feature in the EAGLE.

The E5IS Data Feed or monitoring subsystem requires a significant amount of CPU and memory resources from the IPx cards when monitoring M2PA, M3UA and SUA links. When enabled, this capability causes the of the IPx applications to drop well below the maximum capacity of the platform. For a detailed analysis of IP7 throughput for provisioning purposes, refer to Engineering Rules for Determining IP7 Application Throughput.

Installation of the SS7-over-IP system includes both hardware installation and software provisioning, and is detailed in the EAGLE customer documentation.
