There are three sorts of the system focuses flagging focuses: Service Switching Points (SSPs), Signal Transfer Points (STPs), and Service Control Points (SCPs). SSPs start or end a call and impact on the SS7 Attacks coordinate with SCPs to decide how to highway a ring or set and deal with some exceptional element.
Movement on the SS7 Attacks arrange is steered by parcel switches called STPs. SCPs and STPs are generally mated with the goal that the administration can proceed on the off chance that one system point fizzles.

SS7 Attacks utilizes out-of-band flagging, which implies that flagging (control) data goes on a different, devoted 56 or 64 Kbps station as opposed to inside an indistinguishable station from the phone call. Generally, the motioning for a phone call has utilized a similar voice circuit that the phone call went on (this is known as in-band flagging). Utilizing SS7, phone rings can be set all the more productively and unique administrations, for example, call sending and remote wandering administration are simpler to include and oversee.
