SIP-UPDF Tunneling

Overview

SIP-UPDF tunneling carries PSTN signaling across two Excel platforms with SIP. The Request for Service message presented to the host contains TLVs in UPDF format. SIP UPDF is proprietary to Excel as it uses proprietary Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) multipart.

Sample

SS7 ISUP information is encapsulated within the SIP messages that flow across each Excel platform. The following is a sample of the message encapsulation:
