The MIB for managing the SS7 Signalling Point (SP) implemented in the Cisco IOS SS7 offload product. The relevant ITU documents describing this technology is the ITU Q series, including ITU Q.700: Introduction to CCITT Signalling System No. 7 and ITU Q.701 Functional description of the message transfer part (MTP) of Signalling System No. 7. This MIB models the SP as follows: The SP is associated with one or more point codes. Each pointcode is associated with: an ss7 variant, timers, and linksets. Linksets contain: destination point code linkset byte/packet statistics, accounting information per DPC and OPC violation accounting information per DPC and OPC links, reference to incoming and outgoing ACL reference to a routing table for each SS7 packet type Links contain: timers, and byte/packet statistics. The figure below provides a diagrammatic representation of the relationships. Each box may be replicated providing multiple instances of the object. ' a reference to the object to the right. '###>' indicates that the object to the left contains an instance of the object to the right. The down arrow indicates that the object being pointed to contains snmp indices of the objects above it. ________________ | | | Sp |###> point code, timers |________________| | V ________________ | | | | | Linkset | | | | | |________________| | V ________________ | Link |###> timers |________________|
