In the scheme A <--> B, description given below describes that is CIC is blocked by side A, that side B cannot initiate calls to A, but A can initiate to B unless B also sent a blocking request. (http://www.asknumbers.com/SS7ISUPMessages.aspx) Quoting --- Blocking (BLO) message sent only for maintenance purposes to the exchange at the other end of a circuit, to cause an engaged condition of that circuit for subsequent calls outgoing from that exchange. When a circuit is used in the bothway mode of operation, an exchange receiving the blocking message must be capable of accepting incoming calls on the concerned circuit unless it has also sent a blocking message. Under certain conditions, a blocking message is also a proper response to a reset circuit message.
