Definitions
- Loops with a length> 2 are more difficult to recognize. For each message in a particular STP, one can check whether this message originates from this particular STP 2
- STPs do not necessarily generate messages or messages to the target or targets to which there is a loop.
- This problem can be solved by a real-time method that uses the possibility of a loop, e.g. through permanent overload on a link set, can be recognized, solved. If the method mentioned recognizes the possibility of a loop, this can be solved. If the method mentioned recognizes the possibility of a loop, this can be solved.
- MTP route implementation test Another solution to the problem is defined by the standard (Q.753, Q.754), the so-called MTP route implementation test (MRVT), which checks all possible paths in an MTP network between two given points for correctness, including freedom from loops. If errors occur, e.g. Grinding, the operating personnel are informed to initiate corrections.
- the MRVT has the advantage over a real-time method that it can also recognize loops before they are actually used, since all possible paths are checked, not just the current ones.
- the disadvantage is that a separate protocol is required for this. If this is not implemented in the entire network, the check is not possible or only incompletely. This situation exists especially in the international signaling network.
- the MRVT cannot continuously check all paths between all points in the network.
- the invention has for its object to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the present invention shows in particular how, when real-time detection of loops with a length> 2 and / or when loops are detected by the MRVT, automatic, real-time, protocol-compatible and easy to implement methods can be used to break through the loops. This means that the time until the operator intervenes can be bridged.
- the MRVT does not provide any information as to whether a possible loop is currently being used and the real-time method may not be able to make any statement about the destination to which a possible loop exists.
- the aforementioned checking is carried out by sending otherwise unused MTP network management messages to the destinations that can currently be reached via the link set in question (according to the routing). If such test messages return to the STP, these messages are discovered by comparing the OPC contained in the message with the point code of the STP, and one or more loops are recognized. Corrective measures can thus remain limited to the loops currently in use.
- the loop "upstream”, ie to the previous STP B on the loop, can be interrupted by A to B sending a Transfer Prohibited message regarding X. B will then redirect or stop traffic to X. Since B will then periodically check the availability of the route to X via A using the so-called route set test messages to A, it must be ensured that A does not answer these messages with a transfer allowed, otherwise B will close the loops again could. 5
- the actions performed automatically by the MTP or the Operations Maintenance and Administration Part (OMAP) can be canceled again by the operating personnel (note: OMAP includes higher-level SS7 management functions, e.g. MRVT, screening functions and measurements. "Informing the operating personnel" is (partly) part of the OMAP).
- a special feature of the invention lies in the mechanism for breaking through the loops with a length of> 2 by means of automatic measures that are easy to implement, using existing protocol features.
- the method can already be used and is useful if it is only implemented in a single STP.
