Technical Summary
This document describes the applicability of the several protocols developed
under the signalling transport framework[RFC2719]. A description of the main
issues regarding the use of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP)[RFC2960] and each adaptation layer for transport of telephony signalling
nformation over IP infrastructure is explained.
