Methods and apparatus for distributed SCCP management procedures

摘要

Network signalling apparatus and methods use at least an SCCP protocol layer of Signalling System number 7 (SS7) and other protocol layers. The SCCP protocol layer supports connectionless and connection-oriented protocol services, and network management procedures are carried out on a per protocol service basis, that is, network management procedures at SCCP are independently treated for connectionless and for connection-oriented protocol services.
