First suggested CCS mode is CCITT NO.6 ,it is mostly used in analog telephone network ,rate is 2.4Kbit/s while CCITT NO.7 is in optimal signal rate (64Kbit/s) common signal channel mode

NO.7 signal method is designed for the ISDN

purpose.

(1)CCS link is composed of signaling terminals of both ends and the data link between them ,data link is two way data channel with same rate. (2)in multi router connection mode ,signaling is done through segment by segment. (3)one high speed data link transfers thousands of signaling for voice ,every voice channel is not need of its own signaling equipment .it lowers the whole invest for signaling equipment.

Signaling pointSP

SP is the node which provides common channel signaling

in signaling system .it is divided into source point which produces signaling message and destination point which receives signaling message. Signaling transfer pointSTP STP is the middle node , and it is neither source point nor

destination point, which is in charge of transferring signaling

message from one signaling link to another one.
12/17/2013 44

Signaling link

it is signaling information channel to connect signaling point,signaling transmit point. A packet of signaling link to connect two signaling point make a signaling link group. In most case , signaling link group includes several collateral signaling links and a number of collateral link

group can also be configured between two signaling point.
