Message Manipulation Interoperability Tool
Newport Networks Web GUI
Newport Networks’ enhanced Web GUI enables the operator to systematically provision new SBC services, rules and networks using a Web browser. The Web GUI provides a wizard-based flow through provisioning method, reducing provisioning time, simplifying configuration and turn-up-time for any SIP trunk or interconnects.
The Web GUI below shows the message manipulation tool, each section can be further expanded to provide granular configuration options when creating message manipulation profiles.
The header manipulation tool provides the following features:
Header Copy
The header contents (value) of one header can be copied to another header. For example, the URI value of the P-Asserted-Identity header can be copied to the From header.
Exchange of Headers
The header contents (value) of one header can be copied to another header, the source header is then deleted. For example, the value of the History-Info header can be copied to the Diversion header, and History-Info header will be removed from the SIP message.
Strip Message Body
This is a list of unsupported message bodies. For example, if the Application/ISUP message body is unsupported in the destination network, then these will be removed from any incoming message.
Modify Header Components:
This feature can add characters to the start and/or to the end of the User Name. Also a User Name containing FQDN can be changed to IP address and vice versa. The message manipulation feature also supports network contextual manipulation of 3GPP headers, including PATH, Service Route, Route, Privacy and P-asserted Identity.
3GPP Header Extension Support
Newport Networks supports the current set of 3GPP header extensions. This enables operators to connect 3GPP networks together or connect their own NGN network to an IMS or 3GPP SIP-based network. Using the message manipulation tool, 3GPP profiles can be added to non 3GPP messages and vice versa.
Benefits of Using Newport Networks Message Manipulation Profiles
Newport Networks message profiling enables:
- Self-service programmable tool
- Seamless interworking and interoperability between networks
- Faster time to service turn up for interconnect and SIP trunking
- Option of creating specific vendor profiles which can be shared or unique per network
- Built-in trace tool to capture SIP messages for fast trouble shooting
- Configurable topology hiding – full or partial topology hiding gateway function (THIG)
- SIP Message normalisation for Call Agent, Softswitch, x-CSCF
- Interworking between 3GPP and NGN networks
