DSR Overview

Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) helps communications service providers monetize their network more efficiently to remain competitive in the market. It creates a centralized and secure signaling architecture that enables core networks to grow incrementally and to support increasing service and traffic demands. The distinctive advantages provided by the Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router are network scalability, resiliency, interoperability, and security, as well as network visibility. The cloud deployable Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router enables service providers to manage Diameter signaling while optimizing network resources, therefore maximizing the return on network and technology investments.

Disclaimer

Before installing third-party software on the same server with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on, you must be aware of the following information:
  • Oracle is not responsible for installation, operation, maintenance, and so on, of any non-Oracle distributed software with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on.
  • Additional due diligence, including testing, is recommended to be performed in the lab before deploying non-Oracle software on production sites to avoid potential issues.
  • Oracle is not responsible for validating or integrating non-Oracle software with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on. Additionally, the persistence of the non-Oracle software over the upgrade of any Oracle product may or may not occur, and Oracle does not guarantee that the non-Oracle software will persist.
  • Oracle Support may require that the customer uninstall the non-Oracle software and reinstall Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on, to recover the system to address any field issue.
