8. 19 November Hardware  Processor Currently SUN (e.g., Netra T1 AC 200 or Fire V120)  SS7 Stack Ericsson/Tieto-Enator SS7 PCI-boards (one for each host) that each supports two E1 links with up to 16 signalling channels Full SS7 redundancy (STP/SRP load sharing) Considering Ericsson “Stack-on-a-Card” SS7 boards Why Ericsson? Name!

9. 19 November Software  Operating System SUN Solaris 8 (2.8)  Additional software Ericsson SS7 stack Erlang OTP (including Mnesia) OpenSSL  Application software Mainly Erlang OTP (drivers to SS7 stack in C) Full software redundancy with multiple hosts Current size approximately 5500 lines of C, 130000 lines of Erlang and growing…

14. 19 November jnets – HTTP client and HTTP server  HTTP client features include Syncronous/asyncronous request interface Persistent connections Pipelines Proxy support + more (but lots missing also…)  Why jnets HTTP server? Backward compatible with inets 2.6 Standards compliant Fast core, flexible configuration

15. 19 November jnets performance test  Setup: 1 client machine/1 server machine (847MHz, 128Mb, Linux) Client makes a new request immediately after a response was received Minimalistic settings (no logging etc)  Tools: httperf v 0.8 autobench v 2.01  Simple GET request against a small static HTML file. With cache (patch was needed for inets)

21. 19 November xmerl – The Erlang XML processer  Written by Ulf Wiger, now maintained at http://sowap.sourceforge.net http://sowap.sourceforge.net Latest release xmerl-0.18  Late developments: Improved export functionality. Support of DOM and SAX style parsing of XML document Many bugfixes

22. 19 November ucs – Erlang Unicode support  Translates Unicode number to Mnemonic  Converts from virtually any character sets to Unicode and vice versa, given that there exists a mapping!! Sometimes very slow  Converts between IANA defined character set names and corresponding MIB number/character set aliases  This does NOT give generic Unicode support in Erlang (strings etc)
