SS7 Landscape
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Oct. 24, 2023

Oct. 24, 2023

We currently get our SS7 via TNS. I (maybe incorrectly) understand them to be a big dog in that space. I've had two major problems with them in six months. What are my alternatives? Are they less pleasant? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Hi all, I hope you don't mind the post, but thought this might be of use and in the spirit of release early, release often I've done an alpha release: https://github.com/SentryPeer/SentryPeer There's a presentation too if you'd like to watch/read where I hope to go with this: https://blog.tadsummit.com/2021/11/17/sentrypeer/ Working on the API and web UI next, then the p2p part of it. Feel free to submit any feature requests or have a play :-) Thanks for reading and any feedback is welcome! -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

Arbitration or Peering?
by compuwizz＠gmail.com May 12, 2022

This blog post from Transnexus highlights a filing Inteliquent placed with the FCC about an Arbitrage Scheme. https://transnexus.com/blog/2022/access-arbitrage-rules-discussion/ The link is broken to the original filing so I can't read the full details. Maybe I'm not understanding the full complaint, but Inteliquent is expecting a lot of traffic to come through them to the IPES's number ranges but they aren't getting the traffic. The "Wholesale Inbound Provider" instead is getting the traffic. Wouldn't this just be similar to private peering between providers? I've had "10 Digit peering" service before from a vendor but that product went away a few years ago. ~Jared

Carriers / TCR requiring NetNumber ID for SMS, even P2P
by beckman＠angryox.com May 4, 2022

May 4, 2022

I'm hearing from one of my carriers that in order to continue sending P2P (NOT A2P) SMS from our DIDs, my $dayjob needs to purchase and maintain a NetNumber ID to use as the SPID for SMS. I'm also hearing that ALT-SPIDs are being discontinued. Does anyone else know about this change, who is driving it, and why? Anyone want to share costs involved in getting and maintaining an NNID for this purpose? This feels more like pay-to-play than a solution to reduce unwanted SMS.

Activation Timing
by voiceops＠ics-il.net May 2, 2022

May 2, 2022

I'm trying to develop some new rules for dates we choose for porting. We have to build outside plant for most customers to accommodate their turn-up. The customers generally don't understand why the phone isn't alive when the tech is on-scene, but the tech has to go on-scene to build the infrastructure. Is it reasonable to choose a port date that seems like it would work, then bump the activation day by day if OSP has encountered any issues? I would like to think that by not *activating* the port and rescheduling it for the next day, everything would still work correctly, but I'd rather be right than lucky. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com
