IMS – Service Switching Function

The IMS-SSF acts as a gateway between the SIP/Diameter based IMS and the CAP (CAMEL Application Part) based CAMEL (Customized Application for Mobile network Enhanced Logic) application servers. In this role, the IMS-SSF ensures that where appropriate, SIP/Diameter messages are translated to the corresponding CAP message and vice versa.
