Hi Jan, You are right of course, ISUP needs more than just the signaling to be relevant. My focus is on SCCP as it's MAP and INAP that is most interesting for me. Yes, I use the LGPL M3UA stack. /Sverker From: asterisk-ss7-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:asterisk-ss7-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jan Berger Sent: den 14 juli 2010 3:15 To: asterisk-ss7 at lists.digium.com Subject: Re: SIGTRAN GW based on libss7 hi Sverker, Most interesting article. SCCP over M3UA is straight forward, but how would you do ISUP? What I mean is that ISUP contains reference to CIC's and basically is an instruction to connect a voice channel - but what will you use to actually connect to the voice channel ? Asterisk acting as an AS can be on a different box than the SG, meaning that if you run a proper SG you will need to connect the voice out from that box as well. Are you using the LGPL M3UA stack?
