NODE SUPPORTING LINKS HAVING THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER LONGER MESSAGES THAN ACCORDING TO CURRENT MTP LEVEL 2

摘要

The users of the SCCP can generate messages in excess of 255 octets. Such messages are segmented before being delivered to linksets supporting only messages according to Q.703 . If such traffic would go via enhanced linksets supporting longer messages than according to Q.703, avoiding the segmentation would benefit performance significantly. The invention avoides the segmentation by assigning a second point code to the enhanced linksets.
