IP Transport

OpenSS7 has developed IP transport for LiS STREAMS that supports all IP components including Transport Provider Interface (TPI) STREAMS interfaces to Linux native TCP, UDP and RAW sockets. In addition, the IP transport packages support TPI STREAMS interface to our Linux native SCTP stack.

(Click on any of the components below for an overview of the component.)

SCTP Driver

OpenSS7 has two Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) drivers: one for the LiS STREAMS stack which is written as a STREAMS driver; another native to the Linux kernel. OpenSS7 provides an INET package for LiS STREAMS which provides a STREAMS Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to our Linux native kernel (sockets) implementation, as well as providing an SCTP STREAMS driver which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) and Network Provider Interface (NPI) under STREAMS.

TCP Driver

OpenSS7 provides the strinet package which has been included in LiS STREAMS which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the TCP sockets implementation native to Linux.

UDP Driver

OpenSS7 provides the strinet package which has been included in LiS STREAMS which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the UDP sockets implementation native to Linux.

SSCOP-MCE Driver

OpenSS7 has also done some work of implementing a STREAMS version of SSCOP-MCE to round out the IP transport services of OpenSS7.

IP Driver

OpenSS7 provides the strinet package which has been included in LiS STREAMS which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the RAW and other low level IP sockets implementation native to Linux.
