In Rhino, a Resource Adaptor (RA) provides the interface between the application (Sentinel VoLTE) and the network. Sentinel VoLTE makes use of a number of Resource Adaptors, for purposes ranging from database connections to network integration.
OpenCloud Resource Adaptors used by Sentinel VoLTE
Sentinel VoLTE configures the following Resource Adaptor Entities out of the box.
| Resource Adaptor Entity | Purpose |
|---|---|
cassandra-cql-ra |
communication with the Cassandra Database |
cassandra-third-party-reg |
communication with the Cassandra Database for Third Party Registrar |
cassandra-external-session-tracking |
communication with the Cassandra Database for External Session Tracking |
cdr |
writing of call detail records (or 3GPP Charging Data Records) |
cginmapra |
querying the HLR (optional, depending on installation choices) |
dbquery-0 |
communication with an SQL Database |
diameter-sentinel-internal |
internal Ro communication between protocol handling front-ends and the internal mediation subsystem |
diameterro-0 |
communication with Online Charging Systems |
http |
enabling queries to external systems (such as RESTful queries), or enabling |
reorigination-correlation-ra |
|
sentinel-management |
management of Sentinel subsystems |
sh-cache-ra |
communication with the HSS |
sip-sis-ra |
SIP interface for the TAS |
sipra |
utility mechanisms for the SIP protocol |
uid |
allocation of globally unique IDs |
|
All these RAs can be viewed and configured using the Sentinel Element Manager. Future releases of Sentinel will have resource adaptors to support other protocols, such as Diameter CCA. Customers can also add their own resource adaptors, using the Sentinel VoLTE SDK. |
