Changing some of the label structure breaks Q.704. Point 15.2 of Q.704 says that the label structure has 4 bits for SLC, 14 for OPC and 14 for DPC (total-32). So you have only 4 bits (D'16) to handle the links and there is no PSTN switch supporting other than 4 bits. Doesn't make any sense at all to change something to being incompatible with the rest of the network :) Also, the ITU-T SS7 recommendations says that you shouldn't handle more than 2000 CICs per link. So with 32 E1 and 2 links you have less than a quarter of the recommended load on those two links.

As defined in Q.704, you cannot have more than 16 links per linkset (only 4 bits for SLC). The most common configuration is to have al least 2 links. For 32 E1 (992 CICs) you don't need more than 2 links. Or 4 links, 2 per server if you like. >> >> Gustavo >> >> >> On 17 May 2010, at 14:04, Arafath-uz-zaman khan wrote: >> >> > Hello Wasim >> > >> > Thanks for your mail.
