chan_ss7 is typically used like this:
STP --------- SEP (Asterisk / chan_ss7) One signalling link
STP ---------

SEP (Asterisk / chan_ss7) Two signalling links

STP ---------
As far as I undestand, A links are the links from STP to SEP in the
ascii-drawings above. So chan_ss7 uses A links for sure.
chan_ss7 can also work in a cluster:
STP ------- SEP (Asterisk / chan_ss7)

STP ------- SEP (Asterisk / chan_ss7)
Now, the links between an STP and SEP are still A-links, but I think
the interconnect between the two SEP's can be considered an F link.
The interconnect is typically a crossed ethernet connection though, so
I don't know if it can be fully qualified as an F link according to the spec.
