Hi John,
What advantage does the architecture on the following webpage provide?
- http://wiki.projectdiastar.org/index.php/Project_DiaStar_Server_-_SIGTRAN
Would it not be better to provide a M3UA implementation that resides on
the Asterisk server rather than a separate server?
The use of Routing Contexts and Routing Keys in M3UA would help to
distribute traffic across multiple Asterisk platforms.
Cheers,
Amish

Hi Amish,
You're right about the doc -- we're working on it.
In the meantime, some answers to your questions:
DiaStar is an open source application which is used to connect our
proprietary DiaStar Media Engine (a variation of our HMP product) to
Asterisk. It uses the Woomera protocol to connect to a chan_woomera
channel driver on the Asterisk side. Dialogic DNI boards provide a
T1/E1 interface to the PSTN for CAS, ISDN or SS7. For SIGTRAN
signaling, it uses our proprietary DSI SIGTRAN stack.
An intro to DiaStar architecture and how it works with Asterisk is here:
http://www.dialogic.com/products/docs/appnotes/11541-diastar-intro-an.pdf
This was written before SIGTRAN was added, so it just mentions ISDN as
a PSTN protocol. There is a diagram of how SIGTRAN fits in here:
http://wiki.projectdiastar.org/index.php/Project_DiaStar_Server_-_SIGTRAN
Licensing for the open source Diastar application is GNU General
Public License. The DiaStar Media Engine and SIGTRAN stack are
proprietary.
Descriptions of the DNI boards and SIGTRAN stack are here:

If you would like pricing on the DNI boards and SIGTRAN stack, please
let me know.
