Sh for unregistered VoLTE subscribers
Because of geo-redundancy we always have at least 2 ASs.
They are acting as primary servers for the users assigned
during the third party registration (controlled by DNS). In case
of a failure they act as a backup ASs too.
Sh for Failover
That means it can happen that some request doesn’t arrive on
the primary AS (e.g. fail-over, request coming from
Authentication Proxy or Sigtran network). In that case the
https://realtimecommunication.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/sh-interface-what-is-it-good-for/ 6/8
8/4/2019 Sh Interface – What Is It Good for? | Real Time Communication
secondary AS will simply download the subscriber data from
the HSS via the Sh interface.
VoLTE flow for Ut interface
For the VoLTE the ETSI TS 29.364 defines the XML format
for service data descriptions for AS interoperability.
In some deployments we use an LDAP interface instead of the
Sh for the data handling procedures. Depends on the
preferences and on what vendors support. LDAP is usually
being used along with SOAP protocol because not all the
needed operations are supported by the LDAP. More
information can be found in the post about HSS-FE.
