ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for managing signaling links in a signaling link set accommodates a plurality of signaling links having different data link formats in a signaling link set connecting adjacent signaling points. The method is preferably one which manages signaling links a signaling system No. 7 (SS7) network. This method includes adding one or more signaling links having different data link formats to a signaling link set of the SS7 network, and processing signal message transfer between adjacent signaling points through one or more main signaling links which have superior bandwidth compared with the added links. Through this method, it is possible to make a natural development of a signaling network possible, boost stability of signaling network by diversifying media for transfer simultaneously, and get economic effects in constructing a signaling network through re-using data links used previously.
