Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing

Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing allows the EAGLE to route GTT traffic based on the incoming link set and to route GTT traffic based on a variety of parameters (MTP, SCCP and TCAP depending on features that are enabled and turned on) in a flexible order on a per-translation basis.

Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing can be used with or without the Origin-Based SCCP Routing or the TCAP Opcode Based Routing features. Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing can be enabled and turned on only if the EGTT feature is turned on. If only the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing is enabled and turned on, the name of the incoming linkset that will help to determine how the GTT traffic is routed can be provisioned in the GTT selectors. If the Origin-Based SCCP Routing feature or the TCAP Opcode Based Routing feature is used with the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature, the name of the incoming linkset can be provisioned along with the provisioning for the Origin-Based SCCP Routing or the TCAP Opcode Based Routing features. Table 2-7 shows the type of GTT sets that can be provisioned for GTT selectors based on the features that are enabled and turned on.

Enhancements to Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing

In previous releases, the GTT and TT command sets were replaced by the GTTSET, GTTSEL, and GTA command sets when the EGTT feature is turned on. Now the GTT and TT command sets can be used when EGTT feature is turned on.

In previous releases, the selid parameter in the ent-gttsel, dlt-gttsel, and chg-gttsel commands could be configured only when the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature is enabled and turned on or the Origin-Based SCCP Routing feature is enabled. Now the selid parameter of these commands can be configured when the EGTT feature is turned on.

An SCCP message (RT-on-GT or MTP-routed) received by the EAGLE can be routed (Relayed or Redirected) to another destination based on the routing data obtained from the EPAP database or PPSOPTS table by the EPAP-based service. This type of message is called a Service Relayed MSU. In previous releases, global title translation is not performed on Service Relayed MSUs. These messages are directly sent to destination obtained from EPAP database or PPSOPTS table.

Now global title translation can be performed Service Relayed MSUs. To do this, these three optional parameters of the ent-srvsel and chg-srvsel commands are supported on per Service Selector basis for the non-GTT Message Relay Services.

  • GTT Required (on=gttrqd, off=gttrqd) – This specifies whether or not global title translation is performed on Service Relayed MSUs. This parameter can be configured after the GTT feature is turned on.
  • GTT Selector ID (gttselid for the ent-srvsel command, ngttselid for the chg-srvsel command) – This is used as the SELID value for the GTT selector search when global title translation is performed on the Service Relayed MSU. This parameter can be configured only after EGTT feature is turned on.
  • Default Action (dfltact for the ent-srvsel command, ndfltact for the chg-srvsel command) – The action that is performed when the GTT selector search (using the GTT Selector ID from the Service Selector entry) fails for the Service Relayed MSU. This parameter can be configured only after EGTT feature is turned on or the GTT Action - DISCARD feature is enabled and turned on.

An example service selector entry is shown in Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5 Message Relay Services and GTT Actions

The GTT Required option indicates whether global title translation needs to be performed after successfully finding the routing data from the EPAP database or PPSOPTS database for non-GTT Message Relay Services. If the routing data is not found for non-GTT Relay Services from the EPAP database or PPSOPTS database, the standard Fall through to GTT procedure shall be performed.

Fallback to GTT

Fallback to GTT allows global title translation to be performed on Service Relayed MSUs by using the GTT Required parameter on per Service Selector basis for the non-GTT Message Relay Services shown in Table 2-8. Provisioning of the GTT Required parameter can be performed only if the EAGLE contains E5-SM4G cards.

TTR Currently no feature in this service performs message relay without encountering global title translation. The GTT Required parameter has no effect on this service.

The GTT Required parameter is invoked only if a message is required to be relayed based on the routing data from EPAP database or PPSOPTS table after the successful execution of a non-GTT Message Relay Service. Table 2-8 lists the non-GTT Message Relay Services and the corresponding feature(s) which may result in the message being relayed based on the routing data from EPAP database or PPSOPTS table. If the GTT Required parameter value indicates that global title translation is required on the Service Relayed MSU, then global title translation is performed on the MSU modified by the relay service according to GTT hierarchy of the incoming link set. The default value of GTT Required parameter is set to indicate that global title translation is not required on the Service Relayed MSU. If global title translation is performed on the Service Relayed MSU successfully, then the message is processed through all the GTT-related features that are enabled and turned on.

Note:

Fallback to GTT applies only to the Service Relayed MSU. Query/Response and standard Fall Through to GTT procedures are do not apply to Fallback to GTT.

Exceptions to Fallback to GTT

If a service performs global title translation on service specific parameters to obtain information required for message routing (for example, the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature in the SMSMR service finds the routing information by performing global title translation on the CDPN), then Fallback to GTT is not applied on those messages. The exceptions to Fallback to GTT are shown in Table 2-9.

Table 2-9 Exceptions to Fallback to GTT

Service Name Feature Name Exception Description
MNP/GPORT

IS41 GSM Migration

(Part Number: 893-0173-01)

The IGM SRI_SM Relay to Default IS41 SMSC functionality relays the message to the default IS41 SMSC based on the global title translation of the GTA defined by the DEFIS41SMSC value shown in the rtrv-gsmsmsopts output.
All features under the MNP/GPORT service. The MNP/GPORT service allows re-routing of messages when the service is offline. In this case, a global title translation parameter is already present that specifies whether global title translation is required when the service is offline.
SMSMR

MO SMS B-Party Routing

(Part Number: 893-0246-01)

MO SMS B-Party Routing performs global title translation on the TCAP B-Party digits (TCAP CDPN) and routes the message based on the global title translation results.
GFLEX All features under the GFLEX service. The GFLEX service allows re-routing of messages when the GFLEX service is offline. In this case, a global title translation parameter is already present that specifies whether global title translation is required when the service is offline.

The service selector search is not performed for the MTP-routed messages whose CDPA GTI value is 0 (zero). The parameters required to perform Fallback to GTT are not available for MTP-routed messages whose CDPA GTI value is 0 (zero). Fallback to GTT on Service Relayed MSUs does not apply to messages whose CDPA GTI value is 0 (zero). If a message whose CDPA GTI value is 0 (zero) is relayed by an EPAP-based service, then global title translation is not be performed on the message.

GTT Selector ID and the Service Selector

For the non-GTT Message Relay Services, shown in Table 2-8, GTT selector IDs (SELIDs) can be provisioned. Only one GTT selector ID is allowed for each service selector entry. The GTT selector ID is used to perform GTT selector searches while performing global title translation on the Service Relayed MSUs. The GTT selector ID is not used while performing global title translation as a part of the existing Fall through to GTT message processing. The GTT selector ID from service selector shall be used only in first GTT selector search. If further GTT selector searches are required (when the matching translation is provisioned with a CDSELID or CGSELID), then the GTT selector ID found from the previous matched translation is used as is currently done when processing the translation for the Origin-Based SCCP Routing and Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing features. The default value for the GTT selector ID in the service selector entry is none. The GTT selector ID in the service selector can be provisioned when the EGTT feature is on. The Origin-Based SCCP Routing and Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing features are not required to be enabled or turned on to provision the GTT selector ID in the service selector.

Default Action and the Service Selector

For the non-GTT Message Relay Services shown in Table 2-8, a default action can be provisioned for each service selector entry. The default action parameter in the service selector can be one of these values.

The default action from the service selector is used only if the GTT selector search using the GTT selector ID from the service selector fails while performing global title translation on the Service Relayed MSU.

If the GTT selector search using the GTT selector ID from the service selector fails and the default action in the service selector is Fall through to GTT, then the action that is performed depends on the value of the GTT selector ID in the service selector. If the GTT selector ID value in the service selector is none, then the message is discarded and UIM 1042 is generated. If the GTT selector ID value in the service selector is not none, then the GTT selector search is attempted again with GTT selector ID value of none. If the subsequent GTT selector search, attempted with GTT selector ID value of none, also fails, then the message is discarded and UIM 1042 is generated.

If the GTT selector search using the GTT selector ID from the service selector fails and the default action value in the service selector is either the Discard GTT Action ID, UDTS GTT Action ID, or the TCAP Error GTT Action ID, then the corresponding GTT action is performed.

If the GTT selector search using the GTT selector ID from the service selector fails and the default action value in the service selector is Fallback, then the message is relayed based on the routing data from the EPAP database or PPSOPTS table.

Overall Functionality

After successfully getting the routing data for non-GTT Message Relay Services, if the GTT Required value is set to Yes and the GTT SELID is provisioned for this service, global title translation is performed on the MSU with specified SELID value to find the matching translation based on the GTT hierarchy on the linkset on which this MSU arrived.

Linkset Based Routing

After the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature enabled and turned on, Eagle considers the incoming link set as part of the GTT selection process for performing global title translation. If EAGLE receives MSUs with the same routing information on different link sets, it has the flexibility to route them based on different GTT rules. This also applies to the messages that fall through to GTT after being processed by MPS based services on the EAGLE. The incoming link set of the original MSU is used for these messages.

MSUs generated by the EAGLE that require global title translation are handled differently since they do not have a valid incoming link set. A separate set of GTT selector entries can be provisioned for these MSUs.

A separate set of GTT selector entries can be provisioned for messages generated by the EAGLE.

Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing GTT Hierarchies

The Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature introduced four more GTT hierarchies in addition to the GTT hierarchies used for the Origin-Based SCCP Routing feature. These hierarchies are shown in Table 2-10. These GTT hierarchies are available only when the corresponding feature is enabled, and turned on if necessary. All the GTT hierarchies are available when both the Origin-Based SCCP Routing and the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing features are enabled, and turned on if necessary. The GTT hierarchy can be provisioned on a link set basis or a system wide basis. The default GTT hierarchy is CdPA only.

Table 2-10 GTT Hierarchies

When a Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing GTT hierarchy is provisioned on a link set, the translations do not have to be searched in a predetermined fashion as is done for the Origin-Based SCCP Routing GTT hierarchies (a specific translation can only point to specific GTT set types and the CgPA SSN translation is the terminating point of the search). As long as a translation points to another GTT set/SELID, the search continues and this can lead to infinite searching. The number of searches is limited by these conditions.
  • The same GTT set cannot be referred to more than once in the searching process.
  • The number of database searches is limited to seven, including searches based on the calling party/called party SELID.

Note:

The DPC and CDSSN GTT set types can be searched only in a Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing GTT hierarchy.

Fallback Option

A fallback option can be provisioned for each translation that tells the EAGLE how to route an MSU under the these conditions:
  • Routing when the subsequent search failed in the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature.
  • Routing when the same GTT set name is referred to more than once.
  • Limiting the number of database searches to seven for the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature.
The fallback option can be configured on a system wide basis and on a per-translation basis. The system wide option is configured using dfltfallback parameter of the chg-sccpopts command and is used to define the default value (“No”) for all translations by default. Each translation may then be configured to use one of the fallback values. The fallback option is configured with the fallback parameter of the ent-gta or chg-gta commands. The fallback parameter has these values.
  • sysdflt - use the dfltfallback parameter value of the chg-sccpopts command for the translation.
  • yes - global title translation is performed based on the last matched entry.
  • no - global title translation fails and the MSU is discarded.

The per-translation option overrides the system default just for that translation. The Origin-Based SCCP Routing hierarchies do not use the fallback option.

Routing when the Subsequent GTT Set Search Failed

In this example, Set 1 is used to start the search. The matching translation in Set 1 points to Set 2. The matching translation in Set 2 points to Set 3 and there is no matching translation found in Set 3. Since the fallback option for the matched translation in Set 2 set to No, the MSU is discarded.

Figure 2-6 Action When the Subsequent Translation Search Fails

If the matching translation is not found in Set 2 (Set 2 Translation in Figure 2-6 is not found) and since the fallback option value in the Set 1 Translation is set to Yes, the MSU is routed based on the routing data in the Set 1 Translation. If the matching translation in Set 2 does not contain any GTT set/SELID combination (the Set 3 GTT set as shown in Figure 2-6 is not provisioned), then the fallback option is ignored and the MSU is routed based on routing data in the Set 2 Translation. If the matching translation in Set 1 is not found, then the GTT process fails.

Routing When the Subsequent Search for the SELID Fails

In this example, Set 1 is used to start the search. The matching translation in Set 1 (for example, a CdPA SSN/Opcode/CdPA GTA translation) contains SELID/Set 2 and also Set 3 (in this case Set 3 is an OPC GTT set).

Figure 2-7 Action When the Subsequent SELID Search Fails

If a matching GTT selector is not found with an SELID in the Set 1 translation, the search continues searching for the matching translation in Set 3. If a matching translation is found in Set 3 and no matching translation is found in Set 4, the fallback option No in the Set 3 Translation is performed and the MSU is discarded. If a matching GTT selector is not found with an SELID in the Set 1 translation and a matching translation is not found in Set 3, the fallback option Yes in the Set 1 Translation is performed and the MSU is routed based on the routing data in the Set 1 Translation. If a GTT selector with an SELID results in a GTT set name that is already referred to, the action based on the fallback option in the Set 1 Translation is performed.

Routing When the Same GTT Set Name is Referred To More than Once

Figure 2-8 Action When the Same GTT Set Name is Referred to More Than Once

In Figure 2-8, even if the Set 5 Translation contains the Set 6 GTT set (Set 5 and Set 6 are that same type of GTT sets), the Set 6 Translation will be searched for the matching translation. If the Set 6 Translation contains the Set 1 GTT set and since Set 1 has already searched, the Set 1 translation is not searched again and the fallback option of the last matched translation is examined. Since the last matched translation is found in Set 6 and the fallback option is set to No, the MSU is discarded. UIM 1413 - GTT(FLOBR) failure: duplicate set name is generated to describe the condition. In Figure 2-8, if the Set 6 Translation was not found and since the fallback option in the Set 5 Translation is set to Yes, the MSU is routed based on the data in the Set 5 Translation.

Limiting the Number of Database Searches for the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing Feature

The number of database searches is limited to seven when the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature is enabled and turned on. This includes searching the GTT selector table when a translation contains the CgPA SELID or CdPA SELID parameter.

Figure 2-9 Limit the Number of Database Searches

As shown in Figure 2-9, when a translation contains the CdPA SELID or CgPA SELID, the search in the GTT selector table is also counted toward the maximum seven searches. After completing seven searches, if the search is terminated because of the maximum seven search criteria, the action defined in the last matched Set 4 Translation fallback option (in this case No) is performed and MSU is discarded. UIM 1412 - GTT (FLOBR) failure: max search depth is generated to describe the condition. After completing seven searches, if the last matched translation contains no GTT set/SELID data (if the CdPA SELID data is not provisioned in the Set 4 Translation), the MSU is routed based on the routing data in the Set 4 Translation. The first GTT selector search when the GTT functionality is selected (deriving Set 1 in Figure 2-9) is not counted toward the maximum seven search criteria.

Limiting the Number of GTT Set Searches for the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing Feature

The number of GTT set searches is limited to seven when the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature is enabled and turned on.

Figure 2-10 Limit the Number of GTT Set Searches

As shown in Figure 2-10, after completing seven GTT set searches, if the search is terminated because of the maximum of seven searches have been performed, the action defined by the fallback option in Set 7 Translation, in this case No, is performed and the MSU is discarded. UIM 1412 - GTT(FLOBR) failure: max search depth is generated to describe the condition. If the Set 7 Translation contains no GTT sets, Set 8 is this case, the MSU is routed based on the routing data in the Set 7 Translation.

GTT for MSUs Generated by the EAGLE

The EAGLE performs global title translation on some messages generated by itself. These messages are sent in response to queries received by local subsystems. SCCP UDTS and XUDTS messages also fall under this category. Global title translation is performed to find the destination for the responses when the SCCP calling party address in query messages is Route-on-GT. Since there is no valid incoming link set for messages generated by the EAGLE, a special set of GTT selector entries are used when the Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature is enabled and turned on. The eaglegen=yes parameter in the ent-/dlt-/chg-/rtrv-gttsel commands is used to provision a GTT selector for messages generated by the EAGLE. If the eaglegen=no parameter is specified for a GTT selector, the GTT selector is not provisioned for messages generated by the EAGLE.

When the eaglegen=yes parameter is specified for a GTT selector,
  • Any CgPA related parameters, the linkset name, and SELID parameters cannot be specified.
  • The Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature must be enabled and turned on.
  • A GTT set with the CdPA GTA set type must be specified.
  • A dummy link set name Eagle-Gen is displayed in the rtrv-gttsel command output.

If the GTT set name assigned to a GTT selector for messages generated by the EAGLE is changed with the chg-gttsel command, the new GTT set must be a CdPA GTT set.

If no match is found in the GTT selector entries that contain the eaglegen=yes parameter, the entries with LSN value ANY are searched. If a matching entry is still not found, for GTI=4 entries, the GTT set with CdPA set type for NP and NAI values Default are returned. For GTI=2 entries, a match not found message is returned. The Flexible Linkset Optional Based Routing feature hierarchies do not apply for GTT selectors provisioned for messages generated by the EAGLE and the CDPA Only GTT mode is used for such translations.

GTT Selector Key

Table 2-11 defines the keys into GTT selector table based on the feature combination. If a feature supports specific parameters and that feature is not enabled or turned, if necessary, then default values for these parameters are entered into the database.
