I don't think there is big interest in MTP/TDM these days. SCTP/SIGRAN makes more sense. > What are the plans (if any) for building / providing the SS7 support > in either of the forms in OpenBSC ? Is there any roadmap for the > same ? There is no roadmap for it. We have evaluated it, studied the protocols and roughly know how much effort it would take. Most of the OpenBSC features - but particularly the ones interesting for enterprise use - are driven by customer demand. So as soon as there is a customer that wants to fund the development of such an interface (like adding MAP over TCAP over SCCP over SCTP to our MSC code), I'm sure one of the core OpenBSC developers will be more than happy to work on it. A SS7 interface is nothing that is required for the IT security crowd that wants to play with the GSM air interface. So it is only interested to large / commercial entities who can afford to pay for that development or do it by themselves. As far as our spare time work on OpenBSC is concerned, we will likely focus on issuse that are more interesting to us (and other smaller users of the software, like adding an external interface for fuzzing) Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge at gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
