Current asterisk SS7 implementations (both chan_ss7 and libSS7) only supports fully associated signaling that means signaling links must be in the same E1/T1 as bearer. No matter what type of link you are dealing with (usually A or F ones). The main limitation for this configuration is that you can not have multiple asterisk boxes attached to a pair of signaling links, your asterisk switch is the limitated to how many trunks you can install in a single box. channSS7 has made some great job allowing clusterization but still limits the possible configuration schemes. This configuration imposes a constrain specially when you connect with public switches, usually telcos uses non associated signaling and some sort of ISUP redundancy. Hope this helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-ss7-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:asterisk-ss7- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of asterisk-ss7- > request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Lunes, 29 de Enero de 2007 04:00 p.m. > To: asterisk-ss7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: asterisk-ss7 Digest, Vol 23, Issue 18 > > Send asterisk-ss7 mailing list submissions to > asterisk-ss7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-ss7 > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > asterisk-ss7-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > You can reach the person managing the list at > asterisk-ss7-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of asterisk-ss7 digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
