Hello Marco Currently I have the MAP working on asterisk but only for Sangoma card. The stack itself seems complete and make use of dahdi and libss7 but the XMTP2 API must run on Sangoma! The devel of the solution (leibICT) from Uruguay managed to integrate with MSC and exchange all higher level messages (LBS for my case). He also support sigtran which I think should be your approach to this. Dicea also claim to support but for some reason they were not interested. Otherwise myself m thinking if i can add something to the community by developing TCAP/MAP support direct on LIBSS7 as part of my dissertation I'm looking forward for suggestion Sam > Hello All, > > I know that this subject has been discussed many times here, but since I > haven't been following the list lately, I'll bring it up again. > > Do you have any updates on MAP support for libss7 ? > > I'll explain my problem, any maybe you could give me suggestions. > > I'm trying to integrate two MSCs (Mobile Switch) that currently are > connected thru a dedicated link (Voice + Signalling) that costs a lot per > month, once the two locations are very far from each other (about 3000 > Km).
