The Hub handles LAN switching for the base and fabric
interfaces of the network element. The base interface is used
for the internal signaling and management traffic between all
the hardware nodes in a shelf. The fabric interface is used
for user plane traffic.

The IPDU acts as a load balancer for SIP, H.248 and M3UA signaling traffic. The IPDU hides the internal
structure of the cluster and balances the incoming load to the GISU units. There is no more need to have
own externally visible service identifiers (IP addresses) for each GISU units. Instead the MSS and IPDU
advertise only one service identifier per service. In case of GISU failures the load of the failed GISU unit is
repartitioned among the working ones.
In addition to the load balancing function IPDU is used as IP forwarder. The signaling traffic not balanced
by IPDU unit (like LDAP and VLR backup) is IP forwarded to the cluster internal service nodes. In this
case the internal service nodes like GISU and VLRU units need own externally visible service identifiers
(IP addresses). And because there is no load balancing layer involved, the cluster internal configuration is
visible to
the external clients.

GPLU unit is optional. It is based on LinDX and is connected to DX 200 services like

The Web Service Interface provides a web protocol-based interface (HTTP / SOAP) for
MSS and NVS. By using the WSI operators are able to integrate the existing MSS / NVS
installation base with future applications. Via the WSI applications may e.g. retrieve mobile
subscriber related data from MSS / NVS.
The XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) is a 3GPP standards-compliant protocol.
This protocol is used by subscribers to manage their supplementary service configuration
data.

The VMU provides the possibility to use the operating system in a HWindependent way, as far as the host can handle the underlying physical HW.
With virtualization it is possible to implement several logical functional units
into the same physical functional unit, VMU. In this way the memory is
utilized in a more efficient way and the performance improved.

The statistics collected by the STU provide operators with real-time data
on the operation, capacity, and service level of the exchange. There are a
large number of measurements, observations, and supervisions for
monitoring the exchange operation and call events. The operators can
select and define the measurements, observations, and supervisions they
want to use in the exchange.

The GISU unit is the heart of the Open MSS. It contains former SIGU, BSU,
SCPU and PAU functionalities and handles e.g. following interfaces:
Mobile interface (BSC, RNC and I-BTS)
Interconnection interface (SIP, BICC and ISUP)
VoIP interface (NVS as SIP registrar and application server)
IP PBX (SIP)
MGCF (SIP)
Subscriber register interface (HLR and LDAP)
IN Service interface (Core INAP and Camel)
User plane connections to the MGW (H.248)
Primary Rate Access (DSS1)
