Hello. Another question is how many calls you have to set up simultaneously - not how many calls you need to handle (have open) at the same time. I.e. how many IAM messages have to be generated simultaneously per second: Theoretical performance/limitations: If you are sending IAM messages of let's say 34 bytes, then the max performance will be 34 bytes + 2 bytes CRC + 2 bytes for flags = 38 bytes (you may use Shared Flags to reduce the number of bytes). Time per IAM: (38*8 bits/sec)/(64.000 bits/sec) = 4.75 ms Calls/sec: 1 call/4.75ms = 210 calls/sec (given 34 bytes per IAM).

Depends on what you want to do. SS7 covers a large area, but assuming that you also want voice calls, not only signalling, you basically need 7 E1 lines (2 4x cards etc) or 9 T1's. > > How we can make the connection from different countries i.e. my > Asterisk is in UK and the Carriers are in USA how i can do the SS7 > even SS7 is phisical connection? You need a stack that will handle ANSI and ETSI. They are quite different on both mtp and isup levels. But, where are you and how will you connect to the network? If you are in the US and connect to a local vendor that one will give you T1's only and you don't need to think about the connection in other countries. The same if you are in Uk. It is only if you are both in UK and US and want to bridge yourself you need to worry about this.
