SIGTRAN Loader
Scalable SIGTRAN MAP CAP AIN protocol load, feature and security testing solution for all interfaces including mobile 3G UMTS
Scalable SIGTRAN MAP CAP AIN protocol load, feature and security testing solution for all interfaces including mobile 3G UMTS
Overview
The SIGTRAN Mobile Application Part (MAP) is an SS7 protocol that provides an application layer for the various nodes in GSM and UMTS mobile core networks and GPRS core networks to communicate with each other in order to provide services to users. The Mobile Application Part is the application-layer protocol used to access the Home Location Register, Visitor Location Register, Mobile Switching Center, Equipment Identity Register, Authentication Centre, Short message service center and Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). The CAMEL Application Part (CAP) is a signaling protocol used in the Intelligent Network architecture.
What we Can Do For You
It can test fuzzing, security, feature and performance on single or multiple MAP/CAP/AIN interfaces concurrently, generating tens of thousands of transactions per second (scalable per machine), with customizable message flows and content.
SIGTRAN Load Tester comes with pre-canned scenarios which can be tailored to specific requirements.
Why we’re Different
- Scalable software-based architecture can run on a range of hardware from COTS and high-end customer provided hardware to Virtual Machines and the Cloud (e.g. Amazon AWS) for maximum versatility and performance
- Web-based UI is easy to learn
- HTTP API enable integration with automation test systems and other equipment
- Stateful modeling provides accurate emulation of network elements
Features
- Measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as number of simultaneous sessions and Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA)
- Check transaction content correctness
- Check load capabilities
- Generate valid and invalid/negative messages and call-scenarios
- Supports sending invalid responses including malformed, dropped and misordered packets
- Security testing
