following advantages.
Dedicated signaling processors, resources
Upgrade path divorced from MSC / SSP functions, growth
Most effective method to manage network level resources, features
Frees up processing capacity from the switches
Can host most of the applications, centrally
SSTP Functions
Global Title translation: By using SCCP to translate addresses (Global titles) from
signaling messages that do not contain explicit information allowing the MTP to route the
message. For (e.g. STP translates dialed 1+ 800 number into an SCPs DPC for MTP
routing and gives sub system number SSN for delivery of the good data base application
at the SCP
4-4-4
2-2-2
1-1-1
When more information is needed to process a call, such as an 800 number, queries are
processed for SSPs. STPs contain a GTT table with routing information for the type of
query and address of SCP. In case of congestion or failures, the SCCP management at the
STP takes responsibility for rerouting signaling traffic, based on information received
through MTP concerning the point code routing status, and allowed or prohibited SSNs.
SSTP Function Network Management
Acts as traffic cop to route traffic around failures in a network, and to control link
congestion.

TFP tells the connecting nodes not to send anything that is destined for the affected node.

SSTP function Gateway Screening by using MTP and SCCP to allow or deny access
to the Home SS7 network for transport of signaling messages from another network.
To establish and maintain trunk connections between two SSPs, and to notify both when
the connection is to be released, a pre-defined sequence of SS7 messages is exchanged
between the two SSPs. Except where F" links have been installed between the
concerned SSPs, these messages are routed to one of a pair of STPs in the local (Home)
SS7 network over an A" link or to one of a pair of STPs in another SS7 network over
an F" link. The following cases illustrate the STP function:
Screening is the capability to examine Incoming and Outgoing packets and allow
those which are authorized. This is done by going through a series of Gateway screening
tables that must be configured by the service provider. For example out of the messages
which are coming via a link set only ISUP messages can be allowed whereas on another
link only SCCP messages can be allowed by utilizing two basic function allow and block.
Software in STPs with inter-network connection is used to control who has access into
a Telcos network.
Alternate Billing Service (ABS) Calling card, 3rd party, and collect call billing
instructions required are retrieved from a remote service database
Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) Components of the CCS network are
necessary for the support and function of set-up, re-direct and release requirements of
ISDN systems
Custom Local Area Signaling (CLASS)
Calling Party Number carried in the CCS network enables the use of such features as:
Automatic Callback / Recall
Calling Number / Name Delivery
Local Number Portability (LNP) A system where users of telecom services may, at
their option, maintain telecom phone numbers when switching from one telecom provider
to another, thereby creating competition between telecom providers since number
ownership would be of no value.
Mobile Application Part (MAP) Provides a mechanism by which wireless subscriber
information may be passed from one wireless network to another, thereby allowing
seamless roaming to end user.
Conclusion:
The SSTP is the most important node in the network which is going to help migration
from TDM based network to IP based network as this is need of the day. In to days
network SSTPs are used to regulate measure, and account for inter network, inter carrier
traffic including SMS and introduction of new services ( MNP ).SS7 Standard
A digital signaling standard defining procedures and protocol by which
elements in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and Public Land
Mobile Network (PLMN) exchange information
