Abstract

The authors develop a computer simulation model of common channel signaling networks based on the Signaling System No. 7 (SS No. 7) protocol with the objective of performance evaluation in congestion, signaling link, and processor failures. In this model, the implemented protocol is accurately aligned with the CCITT specifications of Signaling System No. 7. Generic models for signaling nodes which consider the current hardware/software implementations are derived. SS No. 7 signaling network simulation software (SS7SIM) is described. Some results on call setup and call teardown delays for basic and advanced services calls obtained by several runs of SS7SIM for call control traffic are presented.
