PRODUCT SHEET Signaling Solutions

TEDSC Diameter Signaling Controller

Signaling Solutions from Tieto provides a turnkey signaling platform for integration with telecom applications like location-based or prepaid services, messaging, voice over IP, softswitch and IMS solutions. Product overview
The Diameter Signaling Controller product provides a complete system solution to intelligent routing of Diameter traffic in 4G/LTE networks. It is predicted that mobile data traffic will grow in the region of 4000% until year 2020 and this will put severe pressure on the telecom network operators core network to handle the corresponding growth in Diameter signaling traffic.

Key benefits

The Tieto Diameter Signaling Controller provides the following benefits to the 4G/LTE network operator:
Reduced overall signaling load (Removal of full mesh signaling) Simplified network configuration scenarios at roll out and upgrade Multi-vendor network node interworking Secure and efficient intra network connectivity (e.g. topology hiding) Allows easy scalability of network resources Intelligent and adaptable routing functionality supporting the following applications: Subscriber authentication & mobility Charging (online/offline) Subscriber location routing Based on industry standard Linux OS server platform

Features The Tieto Diameter Signaling Controller con-

solidates several Diameter applications into one solution: Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) Diameter Load Balancer Diameter Proxy Agent Diameter Relay Agent Diameter Redirect Agent Routing on Realms, Host ID, Application ID and AVP Content Load sharing (round-robin) or priority based Forking of messages to multiple destinations Stateless and stateful (session aware) routing Configurable modification of message content High Availability and Scalability using Tieto Horizontal Distribution Architecture: Support for Geographic Redundancy Built for multi-core server platforms Horizontal distribution over multiple servers Persistent Diameter state handling

Configurable Dictionary for proprietary Vendors, Commands and AVPs implementations Can also act as a Diameter end node (server or client) C/C++ and Java J2SE APIs for application integration Transport protocols: SCTP (IETF RFC 2960) TCP IPv4 & IPv6 Transport security: Diameter over TLS Capacity: More than 120.000 Diameter routing transactions/second using quad-core Intel Xeon 2,4GHz processor Congestion and overload protection Operation & Maintenance: Built-in web server for remote GUI management Local/Remote Command Line Interface SNMP Alarm Management System is based on industry standard x86 servers running Linux OS

Standards

The Diameter Signaling Controller is developed according to the following standards:

IETF RFC 3588, Diameter Base IETF RFC 3539, AAA Transport Profile IETF RFC 4006, Diameter Credit-Control App.

Alarm interface

Alarms are normally sent as SNMP traps to an external SNMP manager via Ethernet connection. Alarm notifications can also be viewed locally. Alarms are saved in an alarm log.
IMS ready, supports all 3GPP specific identities, command codes and results codes defined in 3GPP TS 29.230 (2007-09)
