Stratus SINAP Family Components

Components of the Stratus^® Intelligent Network Applications Platform (SINAP™) development and runtime environment include:

SINAP/SS7

This high-performance protocol stack for SS7 and C7 solutions — offering greater performance, reliability, and scalability than other stacks running on the same hardware — is widely deployed today within large-scale GSM and IN solutions, in both ITU- and ANSI-compliant networks around the globe.

Flexible multistack capability enables internetwork gateways and convenient test configurations. Combinations range from four SS7/C7 nodes of the same protocol variant on one network, to four nodes of different protocol variants on four different networks. Hybrid stacks with one protocol variant over another are supported.

SINAP/C-SLEE (Converged Service Logic Execution Environment)

This high-performance, scalable service logic execution environment supports C language-based applications that use IN protocols, including AIN 0.1, CS-1, CS-2, CAMEL, and SIP.

SINAP/IP

Supporting SIGTRAN M3UA standards, you are able to achieve seamless migration of applications from traditional SS7-over-MTP networks to emerging SS7-over-IP networks that use the SIGTRAN M3UA and SCTP protocols or to SIP-over-IP next gen networks. The SINAP/IP (also known as IPAS) network entity allows SINAP/SS7 applications to run on Stratus telecom servers on an IP network and to interoperate with other third-party SIGTRAN-compliant products. Internet Protocol Application Server (IPAS) implements an Application Server Process (ASP) and Internet Protocol Signaling Point (IPSP) conforming to RFC3332, 2960, 3309, and the M3UA Implementor guide.

SINAP/SIP

SINAP/SIP software uses the SIP stack and SIP User Agent (UA) toolkit sources from Flextronics Software Systems (FSSTM), formerly Hughes Software Systems (HSSTM). SINAP/SIP includes adaptations of the FSS SIP stack and UA toolkit sources to the ftServer T Series platform and provides users with easy-to-use APIs. The SIP stack and UA toolkit are compliant with the latest RFC 3261 (SIP) and RFC 2327 (SDP), including many others as described in the FSS SIP User Agent and Stack Compliance Statement.

SINAP/SIP runs on Stratus T Series systems, supporting 32-bit user applications on the 32-bit Stratus fault-tolerant Linux operating system. The T Series system and fault-tolerant Linux operating system provide additional robustness and a fail-safe SIP environment.

The SINAP/SIP software product fully resides in user space and provides easy-to-use APIs. These APIs encapsulate most of the basic SIP call- and sessionsetup primitives. You can use these APIs to code your service or applications to run on top of the SINAP/SIP software. The SINAP/SIP stack and UA toolkit provide a set of dynamically linked libraries (DLLs). The source files and binary files of the SIP stack and of UA toolkit sample test programs are provided in the SINAP/SIP package as examples for your reference.

SINAP/ SNMP

SINAP/SNMP software provides simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent support for SINAP. It supports v1, v2c, and v3 SNMP standards for retrieval of SINAP configurations and Stratus values using GETS, as defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). SNMP traps based on SINAP alarm events are generated and relayed to a network management host.
