Hi Gregory,
Below is a simplified version of the of the ss7.conf file I am using. I
have one ss7 link on each host (box1 and box2 below). Each host is
running mtp3d.
I also had to patch mtp3d.c in chan_ss7 version 1.4.3 with the following:
273c273
< if (link->linkset == linkset) {
---
> if (link->linkset == linkset ||
!strcmp((link->linkset)->combined,linkset->combined)) {
Without the patch if host1 receives a signalling messages for host2 the
message is sent to the other host.
Some problems with mtp3d:
- if a signalling link on one host fails, the mtp3d on the affected host
does not send the MSUs in the transmit buffer of the affected host to
the other host.
- if a signalling link is down (i.e. cannot be aligned) initially mtp3d
will not start on that host.
- on the surface the concept used for the cluster configuration seems
more reliable than the mtp3d setup as the cluster can communicate with 2
interfaces on each host.
Does this provide what you are trying to achieve?
Cheers,
Amish
