M3UA restrictions

Hi Experts!

Can ASP in general send transit message through SG/SGP?

An example.
ASP1(SPC1)--SG--ASP2(SPC2)
Can ASP1 send a message with routing key DPC(SPC2)-OPC(SPC1)-SI(any) to ASP2? Must SG/SGP discard this message?

smirnov.s,

Yes, it is as you expect: provided, of course,
that the SG has the SS7 "transfer function."

Hi, Brian,

Excuse me I have to specify my question. Can SI (service indicator) be 0 or 1 (management subsystems)?

Hi Sergey,

RFC does not put restrictions on the values of SI. You may use whatever parameters you want, and use any values you desire.
Some manufacturers do put such restrictions - for example, SGW node cannot perform IP-IP routing, and SI 0, 1 and 2 cannot be include in the RK. But it is not due to RFC, but rather due to business and technical issues.

smirnov.s,

SI 0 or 1 are not valid MTP User Parts and do not have
to be supported by an SG.  Various error response are
available.  AFAIK no proscribed error or procedure is
specified for dealing with these messages as different
from any other erroneously coded message.

Reference RFC 4666 p. 53 "Service Indicators",

  "... The absence of the SI parameter in the Routing
   Key indicates the use of any SI value, excluding of
   course MTP management. ..."

Hello, Brian,

Yes, I read this comment about MTP management. But I think there is misunderstanding.
ASP sends TRANSFER message (payload data) with DPC which doesn't belong to SG. In traditional SS7 an STP must route such message to output link set without checking of parameter, e.g. SI. So, why in M3UA SG don't have to work similarly?

BR, Sergey

smirnov.s,

Because M3UA does not transport the MTP protocol, Q.704: it
transports the MTP to MTP-User service interface as described
in Q.701 (i.e.  MTP-TRANSFER primitive of Clause 8.1) which
does not provide for L4 specified management messages.

The thing to remember is that M3UA carries the MTP3 service interface.
So if there is a user-part (eg ISUP or SCCP) at one end then there is an
MTP3 at the other.  The M3UA SG (effecively) just feeds traffic into MTP3.
