Package strchan-0.9.2.2 was released under GPLv2 2007-03-15.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package provides STREAMS modules and
drivers, libraries, programs, init scripts, and daemons that implement
the OpenSS7 STREAMS isochronous channels for the purpose of implementing
data transmission links, or for carrying voice or other media, such as
channelization of T1 carrier facilities, or ATM AAL3. This package also
includes pseudo-isochronous channels such as those provided by RTP.
Included are hardware device drivers and pseudo-device drivers that
provide implementations of specific channels. A pseudo-device driver is
planned to link into the Linux OSS (Open Sound System) and ALS (Advanced
Linux Sound). Specific E1/T1 cards such as the V401P are supported by
this package.
This package also supports data channel protocols for data communication
over isochronous channels such as HDLC and SS7 DAEDR/DAEDT/AERM/SUERM.
Upper layer link protocols, such as LAPB, LAPF, LAPM and LLC are
supported by separate packages. These modules are provided here because
they work directly over an isochronous channel and are therefore
designed to work with them. These data links provide support for the
OpenSS7 STREAMS ISO/OSI as well as the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN Stacks and
OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Stack packages.
This is the second separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the
OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package. The package provides components that
were previously part of the strss7 package. This package contains all
the necessary manual pages and other documentation. The package is
packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.
This package builds and installs the following STREAMS kernel modules
and drivers:
- streams_ch.ko driver "/dev/ch" "/dev/ch_mg"
- streams_mx.ko driver "/dev/mx" "/dev/mx_mg"
- streams_mg.ko driver "/dev/mg" "/dev/mg_mg"
- streams_pwe3.ko module "pwe3"
- streams_zaptel.ko module "zaptel"
- streams_cd_hdlc.ko module "cd_hdlc"
- streams_cd_daed.ko module "cd_daed"
ch(4)
The ch(4) multiplexing pseudo-device driver is a fully functional
channel device capable of channelized, fractional or full-span
E1/T1/J1 statistically multiplexed channels. Streams opened on
this device driver support delivery of the raw octet streams
associated with the multiplexed channel.
mx(4)
The mx(4) multiplexing pseudo-device driver is a fully functional
matrix swithing device capable of switching, performing rate
adaption, echo cancellation, digital padding, conferencing, tones,
announcements, detection of tones, detection of speech, continuity
tests, progress tones, A-law/mu-law conversion,
decompression/compression, comb filtering, and other functions of a
digital switching matrix.
mg(4)
The mg(4) multiplexing pseudo-device driver is a fully functional
media gateway device capable of providing conversion between
Circuit Switched Network connections (via the mx(4) driver) and
Ephemeral RTP streams (via the rtp(4) module and udp(4) driver).
This device also supports Media Gateway Control Protocol
communications of several forms over tcp(4) and sctp(4).
pwe3(4)
The pwe3(4) module is a pushable STREAMS module that is pushed over
a tcp(4) or sctp(4) Stream to provide pseudo-wire emulation
end-to-end. This device appears as though it is a channel device.
zaptel(4)
The zaptel(4) multiplexing pseudo-device driver is a STREAMS driver
that provides the historical zaptel(4) interface for asterisk and
other open-PBX packages. mx(4) streams are linked under the driver
and represent spans that can be managed by zaptel(4).
cd_hdlc(4)
The cd_hdlc(4) module is a pushable STREAMS module that provides
the capabilties of the High-Level Data Link Control and can be
pushed over a raw ch(4) channel to provide a Communications Device
Interface (CDI) or Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) suitable for
use with ISO/OSI protocols, X.25, ISDN or Frame Relay.
cd_daed(4)
The cd_daed(4) module is a pushable STREAMS module that provides th
capabilities of SS7 High-Level Data Link Control (Q.702) and can be
pushed over a raw ch(4) channel to provide a Communications Device
Interface (CDI) or Signalling Data Terminal Interface (SDTI)
suitable for use with SS7 protocols.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2
STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs, daemons,
and development environment for the development and execution of OpenSS7
STREAMS Channels applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment.
This package is currently incomplete. It is being released as a

This is the second pre-alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is an
optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.D).
This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent
distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Improvements to the common build environment with better support for
standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.
- Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16.
- Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.
- The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as
unpacked by separate tarball.
As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6
RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels
without patching or recompiling the kernel.
This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License
Version 2'. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC,
and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page
(http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs
and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs, see the
