Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for managing and selectively distributing routing information in a routing node are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for selectively distributing routing information in a routing node includes organizing internal signaling resources are organized so as to facilitate the efficient mapping of signaling system 7 (SS7) message transfer part (MTP) signaling protocol attributes to Internet protocol (IP)-based signaling resources. A routing status information sharing hierarchy is defined, which enables routing status information to be efficiently shared among members of a signaling mateset group. Members of a signaling mateset replicate and distribute SS7 MTP network management information across non-MTP signaling connections, such as IP connections.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a multi-network equipment identity register are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for providing a multi-network equipment identity register. A node in a telecommunications network receives from a requesting entity a request to check an identity of a user equipment, the request containing the identity of the user equipment, queries an EIR using the identity of the user equipment, receives a response from the EIR, and forwards the response to the requesting entity. The node includes first and second interfaces for receiving requests to check an identity of a user equipment in a first and second protocol, respectively, such that a user equipment that is blacklisted in a network that uses the first protocol is also blacklisted in a network that uses the second protocol.
