New MVTS 3.1.3 release: Unprecedented Control over Carrier Network and VoIP Traffic
August 15, 2007
MERA Systems announces the release of the new version of MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch
MVTS version 3.1.3 includes several new routing and load balancing capabilities. All of the latest improvements are aimed at helping our customers enhance the system reliability and increase the efficiency of VoIP traffic management.
The new release features the N+1 redundancy scheme. In normal operation overall traffic is evenly distributed between one main and N back-up servers. If a server fails, the calls are automatically redistributed between the remaining servers without compromising the System's performance. This capability allows the carrier to operate with due regard to the geography of the carrier's Points of Presence (PoPs) and ensures normal network functioning even at peak call-flow hours.
Another important improvement of the new MVTS version is the possibility to configure several SIP-HIT signaling protocol and codec conversion modules in the description of termination equipment. The feature allows traffic balancing among SIP-HIT modules with consideration for the server's current load and computing power.
The implemented traffic routing mechanism enhancements allow:
- setting ASR (answer seizure ratio), ACD (average call duration) and SCD (setup connect delay) threshold values for each dial peer and notification of the parameters dropping below the configured values;
- specifying suitable codec sets for all termination points to facilitate configuration and add to the promptness of call groups handling;
- global substitution of Q.931 codes and flexible management of disconnect causes during repetitive re-routing attempts.
When formulating product development plans, the MERA Company works in close cooperation with its customers. The new MVTS version that includes more than 10 new features and over 12 new configuration parameters has been specifically designed to address the needs of MERA's clientele.
