Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router Network Function Edition – per Network-wide Messages per Second Perpetual

Description: This product provides the following base Diameter Signaling Router functionality on a network-wide basis.

Messages per Second (MPS) allowed by Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router. An MPS is defined as:

Processing of an ingress Diameter message and either transmitting a single outgoing message or discarding the ingress message. The outgoing message may be a variant of, or a response to, the ingress message.

Transmission of any Diameter message that is associated with incremental actions/events associated with #1 above. For example, the re-routing of a Request upon connection failure or the copying of a Request.

Messages excluded from this measure are:
  • Diameter peer-to-peer messages: CER/CEA, DWR/DWA, and DPR/DPA
  • Ingress Diameter messages discarded by the DSR due to Overload controls
  • Answers received in response to Message Copy

Network-wide MPS is calculated as the peak 5-minute interval of the sum of all signaling nodes managed by a single network operation, administration, and maintenance node.

Orderable in 5000 MPS increments

OAM – Operations, administration, measurements functionality including: SNMP, event logs, security logs, configuration, topology, user/group management, and reports.

Congestion Management – Ingress and egress, local and remote Diameter congestion control.

Connection Management – TCP, SCTP uni- and multihoming, IPv4-IPv6 interworking, IPsec, load balancing and capabilities exchange.

Diameter Mediation – GUI-based Diameter mediation framework used to build mediation rules to resolve inter- operability issues.

Range Based Address Resolution – Stateless diameter proxy routing application that routes Diameter end-to-end transactions based on application ID, command code, routing entity type and routing entity address ranges.

Message Copy – Ability to copy certain Diameter Requests or Requests and Answers that transit the Diameter Signaling Router.

IP Front End –TCP/SCTP connection based ingress load balancing which enables Diameter clients to access multiple Diameter Signaling Router servers via one or more virtual IP addresses.

Geo-redundant – The Diameter Signaling Router can be deployed with or without geo-redundancy.

High Availability – All message processing critical components are engineered with high levels of redundancy to ensure high availability.

Core Routing – All core routing and process functionality which includes specific handling of real-time Diameter messages.

Active/Standby Peer Node Support and mediation enhancement features to the Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router

Roaming Proxy – All roaming proxy functionality for the Oracle Communication Diameter Signaling Router.

Translation Agent – All Diameter Interworking functionality for the Oracle Communication Diameter Signaling Router
