Self-Test
1. Which of the following are some of the benefits of using a signaling gateway?
a. When using signaling gateways (such as ASG) there is no need to disrupt the existing SS7 network and future enhancement transparent.
b. No need for further expensive investments in the legacy signaling elements
c. Signaling transport over IP network doesn't demand the physical E1/T1 links. Using new technologies like IP over fiber, for example, can achieve much higher throughput.
d. All of the above.
2. An IP network in comparison to a legacy TDMbased network is:
a. More cost effective (deployment and maintenance)
b. Easier to manage
c. More scalable and flexible
d. All of the above
3. What are three valid components of the SIGTRAN protocol architecture?
a. IP, TCP, UDP
b. IP, UDP, SCTP
c. MTP, SCCP, TCAP
d. IP, SCTP, M2PA
4. TCP has several __________ in comparison to SCTP.
a. Limitations
b. Advantaages
5. SCTP is a network layer protocol.
a. True
b. False
6. SCTP is a:
a. Connection-oriented protocol
b. Connectionless protocol
c. Neither
7. What functions does M2PA support?
a. Seamless operation of MTP3 protocol peers over an IP network connection.
b. The MTP2/MTP3 interface boundary, management of SCTP transport associations, and traffic instead of MTP2 Links.
c. Asynchronous reporting of status changes to management.
d. All of the above
8. M2UA support the MTP1/MTP2 interface boundary.
a. True
b. False
9. Which function is common to M2UA and M2PA?
a. Transport MTP3 data messages
b. Present an MTP2 upper interface to MTP3
c. All of the above
10. M3UA is suitable to transfer:
a. ISDN user part (ISUP)
b. Signaling connection control part (SCCP)
c. Telephone user part (TUP)
d. All of the above
11. Which of the below is NOT a SUA usage:
a. Transfer of SCCP user part messages (TCAP, RANAP, MAP)
b. SCCP connectionless service
c. SCCP connection-oriented service
d. Transfer of SCCP messages
12. What are the differences between the M3UA/SCCP and SUA?
a. SCCP flavors (to be consistent)
b. Routing aspects
c. Addressing aspects
d. All of the above
