Introduction:
 
The SS7 Interface to Packet course provides an understanding of how the SS7 protocol is transported over packet networks using IP. It details the family of protocols that provide reliable datagram service and user layer adaptations for the SS7 protocol. This protocol was originally intended to allow new VoIP networks the ability to easily interconnect with legacy PSTN networks and utilize the services that customers need and expect.

Exercises are provided throughout the course, re-enforcing a practical understanding of the material. ENO will provide each student with a high-quality workbook and all of the necessary supplies
 
Audience:
 
This course will be an invaluable tool for those individuals responsible for maintenance and surveillance of the voice, signaling, or IP (packet) networks. This is especially true for personnel working in a control center environment such as the NOC, INAC, ESAC, etc. Anyone responsible for maintaining services on the existing intelligent network platform would also benefit. Others would include network or traffic engineers, technical support, network planners and interconnection specialists.
 
Prerequisites:
 
A basic knowledge of telephony, IP and signaling would be helpful, but not essential.
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day SS7 Interface to Packet course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of Telecommunications training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your eeds. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class.
 
Objectives:
 
This course starts by giving the student a thorough overview of the structure of the SS7 protocol and how it used today. Knowledge of SS7 is essential to thoroughly understand the Sigtran family of protocols. It then details how a suite of protocols known as Sigtran adapts the SS7 layers for transport over packet-based etworks. Emphasis is placed on the most significant protocol defined by the Sigtran group - the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Each Adaptation Layer - M2PA, M2UA, M3UA and SUA - are then detailed
