Riverstone Networks Network Device SSG - Manual (Page 12)

Alcatel is the STP vendor of choice for
major networks. The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI
is a natural progression to next generation
signaling services, offering customers all of
the SS7 features currently available on existing
STPs. This allows customers with existing STP
networks to augment or migrate seamlessly to
the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI with SS7/IP signaling
gateway functionality while providing
transparent, legacy STP services.
The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI can be deployed
in many network scenarios.
Capacity
Many customers with networks of legacy STPs
have reached link connectivity and capacity
limits. The Alcatel INfusion STP A, which the
Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI replaces, supports
a maximum of 720 DS0 links and 14 million
database entries.
The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI is the only product
on the market that supports a link count with
growth to the multi-thousand range with the
throughput capacity to support these link
quantities without performance degradation.
For those with existing Alcatel INfusion STP
products, the evolution scenario allows retention
of investment in existing plant while expanding
into the next generation realm. And with support
for 50 million database entries and transaction
rates starting at 2,500 transactions per second,
the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI provides significantly
higher database capacity than the previous
generation Alcatel INfusion STP A.
