Developments in telecommunications: with a focus on SS7 network reliability

This book summarizes important developments in telecommunications with a focus on signalling system No.7 (SS7) network reliability. But why is SS7 network security so important? According to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model the term "network" refers to the Layer3 "network service", which is offeredby the Message Transfer Part (MTP) and Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) to higher Layers. An SS7 network outage results in a breakdown of the signalling between the individual nodes of the network, so that the services of the telecommunication network are no longer available for customers. Apart from the tremendous financial damage to the network operator, the social consequences of such a network breakdown can not be underestimated. The book is written for non SS7 experts and tries to provide more detailed background knowledge about the problems and their solution during the specification work. First coherent book on SS7
