2 Feature Descriptions
This chapter provides a summary of each feature released in EAGLE 46.9.
SRI_ACK Screening
The EAGLE G-Port functionality is enhanced with SRI_ACK Screening feature. The new functionality screens the CDPA of SRI-ACK to determine if the GT belongs to own network or not in order to avoid misuse of details.
For more details, refer to G-Port User's Guide.
TIF Enhancements
- TIF to Perform Blocklisting based on Redirecting-Number Parameter: The TIF Redirecting-Number Based Blocklisting allows modifying CdPN based on redirecting number, if present in the incoming message.
- Ability to Screen on Generic Name in TIF/EPAP Blocklisting: The TIF Generic Name Based Screening functionality stores the blocklisted information for a particular name arriving from a specific linkset (National or International) on EAGLE. Therefore, any message arriving on EAGLE are screened with the combination of name and linkset from which it is arriving. This enables users to block any spam calls with different names.
- Ability to have more than 1 TIF filter make use of EPAP for Blocklisting: This enhancement provides TIF linkset based blocklisting to enable a misused user to still make legitimate calls in case it is blocked on a particular linkset.With this feature, users have the flexibility to block numbers coming from certain linksets.
For more details, refer to TIF User's Guide.
Support of CAT2 SS7 Security
With this release, EAGLE is enhanced with the CAT2 SS7 feature. This security functionality allows EAGLE to detect anomalies on inbound Category 2 packets through bulk upload of customer IR.21 data in tabular format.
For more details, refer to Database Administration- GTT User's Guide.
EIR IMSI Allowlist Expansion
The EIR IMSI based functionality is enhanced by increasing the number of IMSI records from 1000 to 100K. The CSL table for IMSIPFX list type supports 100K IMSI entries.
For more details, refer to EIR User's Guide.
EIR Logging Enhancements
The EIR logging functionality is enhanced by adding message originator of the message to the log. The OPC along with the point code type will be send to the EPAP. Now the log message includes IMSI, IMEI, EIR response code, Point code type and Point code.
For more details, refer to EIR User's Guide.
Enhanced Logging of UIM and Information from SM Cards for Security
With this release, EAGLE provides data analytics and visualization support along with the existing SS7 security features. The visualized data will help in understanding network status and provide important insights for taking necessary network security measures.
EAGLE Logging and Visualization generates and sends log messages and UIMs from the SCCP and SFAPP cards to an external visualization server. The log messages and UIMs are converted into the JSON format with data enrichment for enhanced visualization.
For more details on EAGLE Logging and Visualization functionality, refer to Logging and Visualization Feature User's Guide.
IN IDPR Consolidation (Introduced in EAGLE 46.9.5)
The Prepaid IDP Query Relay feature is enhanced to support the IDPRCDPN(X) NPP service selection from SCCP CDPA.
With this enhancement, the IDPRCDPN(X) NPP service selection is done from SCCP CDPA. And therefore, a new parameter MERGE_IN in the TTROPTS table is supported. If TTROPTS:MERGE_IN is ON, the IDPRCDPN(X) selection is done from the GT list type of the CSL table. Otherwise, it is done from the SKBCSM list type table.
The CHG/RTRV-TTROPTScommand now supports the
MERGE_IN option. And the ENT/CHG/RTRV-CSL
command displays entries from the csl table for list=gt. It displays the IDPRCDPN
entries only if TTROPTS:MERGE_IN is ON.
IMSI MAP Based Routing for IMEI_Check Messages (Introduced in EAGLE 46.9.4)
With SS7 Firewall, the existing FLOBR or TOBR Framework is enhanced to allow additional MAP Components to be used in the selection process. This is done by adding five new GTT set types. These new GTT set types are linked by the OPCODE set types, as listed below.
- IMSI
- MSISDN
- VLRNB
- SMRPOA
- SMRPDA
The GTTSets of the types mentioned above are allowed to be provisioned ONLY in GTA entries from a GTTSet of the type OPCODE or one of the other GTT set types supported by this feature.
When an MSU is processed by the TOBR GTT translation with the OPTSN as one of these new set types, EAGLE decodes the TCAP part and extracts the required TCAP parameter from the MSU. The digits in this parameter are used as the key to search for the translation in the GTT set.
Support of 756 Million LNP Entries (Introduced in EAGLE 46.9.3)
This feature increases the LNP capacity from 504 million to 756 million Telephone Numbers (TNs) or Number Pool Block (NPB) records where NPB represents a block of 1000 pooled numbers. In addition, this feature increases only the TN count from 504 million to 756 million. The maximum allowed count of all data types remains unchanged.
