Abstract:
A Virtual Global Title Translation (V-GTT) Service implemented in a Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) Gateway using a single American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SS7 Point Code and a single International Telecommunications Union (ITU) SS7 Point Code for access to destination hubs on ITU and ANSI SS7 side of the SS7 network. The V-GTT enables ANSI SS7 and ITU SS7 operators to send their destination SS7 hub-specific traffic to a single hub-specific protocol for either the ANSI or ITU SS7 Point Code of V-GTT. The V-GTT Service application manages the traffic between ANSI/ITU SS7 operator and destination SS7 hub operators and performs ANSI SS7 to ITU SS7 (or ITU SS7 to ANSI SS7) protocol conversion if the destination hub is on a different SS7 protocol, thereby enabling an originating operator to send traffic to a single V-GTT Service hub-specific point code using the protocol that the originating operator currently employs.
