<p>Network elements in a telecommunications network, such as toll switches, databases and the like, are provided with redundant SS7 signaling interfaces (e.g., 300-1, 400-1) based on different software designs. At least one of the interfaces, referred to as a network endpoint signaling transfer point, or NESTP (400-1), is loosely coupled to its host (202-1) and has signaling transfer point (STP) capabilities. In a routing table within the NESTP, a plurality of prioritized route lists are provided for at least some destinations, the list that is used to route a particular message to such a destination being a function of the route by which that message arrived at the NESTP. <IMAGE></p> |
