Feature list includes
- Conformance to IETF RFC-3331
- Support for ASP fail-over and fail-back events to
cater to high availability requirements
- Supports Dynamic Registration Procedures as per
M2UA protocol specifications
- Support for MT-Safe and Redundancy
- Acts as either ASP or SG through run time parameters
- Pre-integrated with Flextronics Software Systems
SCTP implementation (based on Internet RFC 2960).
Supports SCTP socket interface
- Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
- Provides flexible Trace and Error logs with multiple
levels of detail
Redundancy
M2UA Stack redundancy feature supports both HOT STANDBY
and COLD STANDBY redundancy Models. These models of
redundancy are called Transparent Update and Stable
State Update Model in Flextronics Software Systems (formerly
HSS) terminology of redundancy implementation. M2UA
redundancy features also support mechanism to bring
a new or recovered Node insynch with the current active
node.
Ports Available
All Flextronics Software Systems stacks including M2UA
stack are based on Flextronics Software Systems AAPE™
Architecture, according to which all platform (both
operating system and hardware) specific interactions
are wrapped to a single module. With this, effort to
port core stack code to a different platform is significantly
reduced. On an average it takes less than a couple of
weeks to port and test stack code on any new platform.
M2UA stack code is available for following Operating
Systems.
- Linux ( Kernel version 2.4 )
- SunOs (Version 2.5 and over)
- VxWorks (Version 5.4.2)
Conformance
M2UA protocol stack was tested against a detailed test
plan for validating the conformance to various mandatory
and optional M2UA features as mentioned in RFC 3331.
Flextronics Software Systems has been actively participating
in submitting Conformance specifications as IETF drafts,
these documents have been used by many companies.
Interoperability
To test the interoperability of its software stack with
other vendors, Flextronics Software Systems has actively
participated in all M2UA interoperability events.
Last M2UA interoperability Test Event (Plugtest) was
held at ETSI facilities at Sophia Antipolis, France
from 1 September - 5 September 2003. About 5 companies
participated in this event for testing their version
of M2UA stack against other companies. Flextronics Software Systems M2UA stack in all SG/ASP scenarios was successfully
tested.
Performance
A lot of consideration is given to optimization of stack
for memory and processing power requirements, during
the design and Coding phase. This is done keeping in
mind the actual use of stacks in field deployment. A
detailed performance report can be obtained by sending
