The Mc Interface
lies between an
MSC and a MGW.
The underlying

Media Gateway Control Protocol

(MEGACO/H.248)
MEGACO/H.248 is used to control Media Gateways in a Multimedia
systems. MEGACO can be Text or Binary (ASN.1) encoded.
Sometimes it's also referred as GCP (Gateway Control Protocol).
A MediaGateway (MGW) as its name says is a system used as a
Gateway for Media. Current uses are in telephony (Internet, Mobile
and Wireline) and Video and Narrowcasting. A MediaGateway is
usually placed at the edge of two or more different Transport
Mediums (like: ATM (AAL1,AAL2,AAL5), IP, TDM, even two wire
PSTN) and its main duty is to convert media (voice/video) between
these domains. MediaGateways are often capable of playing and
listening to DTMFs, playing tones (like busy tones), handling
voice/video messaging and other similar tasks.

SCTP Stream Control Transmission Protocol

In computer networking, the Stream Control

Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a transport-layer
protocol, serving in a similar role to the popular
protocols TCP and UDP. It is standardized by IETF in RFC
4960. It is a transport protocol for call signalling,
created to overcome several lacks and problems of TCP
when used for signalling between telephony nodes.
Typically, SCTP uses IP as its underlying protocol. The
assigned protocol number for SCTP on IP is 132.

Features of SCTP
Multihoming support in which one or both endpoints of a
connection can consist of more than one IP address,
enabling transparent fail-over between redundant
network paths.
Delivery of chunks within independent streams
eliminate unnecessary head-of-line blocking, as
opposed to TCP byte-stream delivery.
Acked error-free non duplicated user data transfer
Data fragmentation conforming to discovered path MTU
(max transmission unit)

Features of SCTP (Cont.)

Sequenced delivery of user messages within each stream (but

have multiple streams)

Option for out-of-order delivery of a user message
Bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP packet
Fault-tolerance (at network level) by supporting multi-homing at
either/both ends of an association.
Heart-beat/keep alive messages
Message boundaries preserved
SACK

Need for SCTP

Head of line blocking in TCP; not good in many
situations
Applications must add their own record making;
TCP vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks
Main motivator:
Carrying SS7 signalling on IP Networks

Huawei Device Numbering (continued)

Shelf Number
MSOFTX3000 can be configured with a maximum of three
shelves (cabinet), numbered from 0 to 2.
The shelf with the basic frame is Integrated Shelf, numbered as
0, which including two frames, BAM (Backup Administration
Module) and iGWB (Billing tool).
Service Shelf can contain 4 Service Frame.
A shelf number should be consistent with the actual position of
a shelf when configured, so that the system can generate
correct alarm information if a failure occurs to the shelf during
operation.

Huawei Device Numbering (continued)

Frame Number
Frame is a Function Unit, including
different boards to achieve one
function. One Basic Frame and 9
Extension Frame in full data
configuration.
The basic frame is numbered as 0
and the other frames are
numbered from 1 to 9 from
bottom upward
Basic Frame must to be
configured. Extension Frame
depends on capacity.

Huawei Device Numbering (continued)

Module number starts from 2 according to board type. The
module number of a board is unique in the system.
The numbering rules are as follows:

WSMU module number: 221 (allocated automatically by the system)

WCCU/WCSU module number: 22101
WCDB/WVDB module number: 102131
WMGC/WAFM/WIFM/WBSG/WSGU module number: 132211
