whew - i was choking on "SS7 on BRI" typical in US/Canada is T1 or DS0A (inside the switch office only); some other 56/64 interfaces are DSCS and V.35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DS0A Asterisk users need only be concerned with T1, however On Fri, Dec 9, 2011 at 12:43 PM, Jan Berger wrote: > S

Just as a remark, there were a lot of BRI lines in USA using 64k. We ran ISDN videoconference stations in AT&T CALA to US in early 2000's (using AT&T and Sprint networks). They'd some DS1 with 64k channels to support international Nx64k calls with ANSI ISUP, but I'm not sure if that network rema

Typical North America SS7 signaling links use a dedicated v.35 link. STPs and switches come with V.35 interfaces for signaling instead of using T1 timeslots. Today the US basic digital links are 56kbps, I think 64kbps links never caught up, due to RBS signalling. In some ways, the North America

It makes little sense if you think about ISUP and voice transport and the cost of E1/T1 hardware today. But, many SCCP/TCAP applications can manage well with 2x64kbs/1x16kbs links. These days you would just use SIGTRAN or grab a E1/T1, but E1/T1 hardware used to be very expensive so many cost-s

My switch does SS7 over T1 timeslots, but only supports 56k. I'd imagine it's because DDS modems were used over copper pair for the original links, and 56k timeslots are how DDS is transported over a T1. (Yes, you can have 64k DDS links, but I've never seen em) Also, the number of voice channel

You're right. And Marcelo is right too. Nothing stops you to run as match traffic as you like in a pair of links in ANSI or ITU. But Marcelo is pointing a good old fashion way originated in the US in the way how the link capacity is calculated. I remember that ITU-T red book took the principle o
