Inbound GT translation

The SGC determines how GT translation occurs for inbound SCCP messages. Multiple incoming called addresses can be configured for the SGC.

For where the incoming called address for an SCCP message is a GT, it is:

  • matched against the configuration to determine whether it should be processed, and

  • may then determine which SSN should receive it.

Configuration

The configuration for the inbound GT translation matching rules are in the inbound section.

For matching inbound called addresses, you may configure:

  • ❏ A unique id for the address for the configuration. This value is only used by the declarative configuration and is not exposed externally.

  • ❏ The called party address information to match on the inbound SCCP message digits. This is defined in the addrinfo field.

  • ❏ For matching the incoming address, whether to allow the address information to match on the prefix or have to match the entire address. This is set in the is-prefix field.

  • ❏ The SCCP message’s nature of address (natofaddr) code required for a match. The code is defined in the RFC 3868 Global Title Section.

  • ❏ The SCCP message’s numbering plan code (numplan) required for a match. The code is defined in the RFC 3868 Global Title Section.

  • ❏ The SCCP message’s translation type code (trtype) required for a match. The code is defined in the RFC 3868 Global Title Section.

  • ❏ The local ssn to route matched messages towards.

Setting up inbound GT translation

I want to …​

Send all inbound SCCP CdPA which have addressed digits=123456, in an international number format, in an ISDN numbering plan, and an unknown translation type to SSN 146

In the global-title, inbound section, add the inbound matching rule with a unique identifier.

Ensure that the following are set for the inbound rule:

  • id.

  • addrinfo is set to digits 123456.

  • is-prefix is set to false as we are only accepting an exact match.

  • natofaddr corresponds to Nature of Address for international numbers.

  • numplan corresponds to the numbering plan code for the ISDN numbering plan.

  • trtype corresponds- to the unknown translation type.

  • ssn.

deployment-config:sgc:
  m3ua:
    global-title:
      inbound:
        - id: 'to-sentinel-volte-gsm'
          addrinfo: '123456'
          is-prefix: false
          natofaddr: 4
          numplan: 1
          trtype: 0
          ssn: 146
Send inbound SCCP CdPA addressed to digits prefixed with 123456 to SSN 146

In the global-title, inbound section, add the inbound matching rule with a unique identifier.

    global-title:
      inbound:
        - id: 'inbound-rule-example'
          addrinfo: '123456'
          is-prefix: true
          ssn: 146
Send two different inbound SCCP CdPA addressed messages to different local SSNs

In the global-title, inbound section, add each inbound matching rule with their own unique identifiers.

In this case we have two inbound translation rules. For all inbound SCCP CdPA addressed to:

  • digits=1234567890, the message is sent to the local SSN 8.

      inbound:
      # All inbound SCCP CdPA addressed to digits=1234567890 will be sent to local SSN 8
        - id: 'SSN_6'
          addrinfo: '1234567890'
          is-prefix: false
          ssn: 8

  • digits=2143658709, the message is sent to the local SSN 146.

      inbound:
      # All inbound SCCP CdPA addressed to digits=2143658709 will be sent to local SSN 146
        - id: 'B'
          addrinfo: '2143658709'
          is-prefix: false
          ssn: 146

Outbound GT translation

The SGC determines how GT translation occurs for outbound SCCP messages. Multiple outgoing called addresses can be configured for the SGC.

When the outgoing SCCP called party address (SCCP CdPA) is set to ri=GT, global title translation function is invoked. The function uses the SCCP called party address to determine which destination point code (DPC) the M3UA layer should route the message to.

The parameters of the SCCP message are compared against the matcher rules defined in the configuration. If a match occurs, the message will be routed towards the DPC defined in one of the translation rules associated with that matcher.

Optionally after outbound GT translation, the GT rewriter rule(s) may modify the parameters of the SCCP called party address.

Configuration

There are three different types of rules defined for outbound GT translation.

These are:

  1. The matching rule, which decides what SCCP addresses are to be translated. This invokes specified translation rules.

  2. The translation rule, which decides the DPC to route and routing priority. This invokes specified rewriter rules.

  3. The rewriter rule, which decides what is replaced and transformed in the SCCP address.

The configuration for the outbound GT translation matching rules are in the outbound section.

The scope of these rules overlap for parts of the SCCP message and interact with each other. The following table demonstrates how each configurable rule may interact with each other and the SCCP message.

Rules to Invoke

Invoke translations rule(s)

Invoke rewriter-id rule(s)

To configure outbound GT translation, you must:

  • ❏ Configure the matching rules to activate the translation rules on the outbound GTs.

  • ❏ Configure the translation rule(s).

In addition, to rewrite the outbound GT after translation, you must:

  • ❏ Ensure that the translation rule(s) activates the appropriate rewrite rule(s).

  • ❏ Configure the rewrite rule(s).

Note The declarative configuration supports several different matching, translation, and rewriter rules. This allows for different numbers to be routed to different DPCs and have their SSN rewritten.
