Hello Marcelo, > Per usual, read the fine manual. Wait, there's no manual !

It seems strange to me. Let's try to explain this in more detailed way. There is 1 (one) Asterisk box. It has 2 (two) "linksets" configured, with 1 (one) signallink link per linkset. Linkset 1 is configured for one DPC and with CICs 1 - 496. Linkset 2 is configured for another (different) DPC and also with CICs 1 - 496. Both the systems connected to this Asterisk box are configured to respond directly to the linkset between them and the Asterisk, so it's sure that a MSU from DPC1 cannot come over LS2 and vice versa. I hope that this extremely simple setup is in the scope of current libss7 functionality. Or am I wrong ? > In libss7 linkset concept is diferent from official ss7 linkset. > > All signalling links that carry ISUP traffic for a given set of channels > must be kept on a single linkset, as well as all ISUP channels that go > through those links.

It really looks like this, but I still hope it's not the case. Please note that the traffic on the box is rather high, such an error occurs for one of, say, 10000 call attempts. I think that in case of such a fatal routing problem, which you are talking about, it wouldn't be possible to use the system regularly. > > I'm sure you didn't find any libss7 bug.

These switches (I have two of them, but the second one is still on a regular unpatched SS7 stack) make approx. 3 millions of call setups per week. My record (without restarting/crashing Asterisk) is about 3 weeks with more than 10 millions of calls. > > If you need commercial support, contact me off list. Thanks for your offer.
