Limitation of MTP Transmission

The signaling point code is not the standard international code,

it is only effective within a certain network.

The limited capacity of the signaling point code (14-bit is

specified by CCITT) also limits the number of the signaling

point to be marked.

The 4-bit SI can not satisfy the increased requirements of the

modern communication as well, since it can only be assigned

to sixteen different user parts.

MTP can only provide the connectionless transmission.


When SCCP and MTP are combined together, they are called

as NSP (Network Service Part).

SCCP and MTP-3 both locate in the network layer of the OSI

model.

1.2 1.2 Service Functions of SCCP Network Service Functions of SCCP Network


Application Features of SCCP

Enable to transfer both circuit-related and non-circuit-related

signaling messages in telecommunication networks.

Provide enhanced addressing and routing functions, and

enable to achieve the direct transmission between different

CCS7 networks.

Enable to provide both connectionless service and connection-

oriented service.










There are two kinds of service provided by the SCCP protocol:

Connectionless Service

0. Basic connectionless class

1. In-sequence delivery connectionless class

Connection-oriented Service

2. Basic connection-oriented class

3. Flow control connection-oriented class

Service Functions of SCCP Network


In the connectionless service, the routing information

must be contained in each data packet.

No logical connection is established between the end

nodes.



The connectionless SCCP offers two services:

The class 0 service allows the SCCP to insert SLS values randomly,

or with the aim to achieve an appropriate load sharing within the und

erlying MTP network.

The class 1 service requires the SCCP to insert the same SLS for all

the SCCP-SDUs (service data unit) associated with given parameter

s "sequence control" and "called address" .

Connection-oriented service is a way to realize the exchange of signaling

information by establishing a logical signaling connection between the

network service users.

The logical signaling connection is achieved by distributing a local

reference number to the signaling messages belonging together.

SSN


There are two basic categories of SCCP routing

GT

DPC+SSN




From SPA to SPD,

If DPC+SSN routing is adopted by SCCP, in the Called Party Address of SCCP

message, DPC is point code of SPD, while SSN depends on the different requirements.

The message is sent to STPB or STPC, the Called Party Address is not necessary to

be translated by STP.

If GT routing is adopted by SCCP, in the Called Party Address of SCCP message, GT is

the information of SPD. Because GT can’t be identified by MTP, actually, DPC should

be included in the SCCP message, in this case, DPC is point code of STP. The

message is sent to STPB or STPC, the Called Party Address is necessary to be

translated to the relevant point code and/or SSN by STP.
