A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Signaling Transport Working Group of the IETF.
Title : SS7 MTP3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA)

This Internet Draft defines a protocol for transport of SS7 MTP3-User
signaling (e.g., ISUP and SCCP messages) over IP using the Simple
Control Transport Protocol. Also, provision is made for protocol
elements that enable a seamless, or as seamless as possible, operation
of the MTP3-User peers in the SS7 and IP domains. This protocol would
be used between a Signaling Gateway (SG) and a Media Gateway Controller
(MGC) or IP-resident database but could also be used between two SGs
if desired. It is assumed that the SG receives SS7 signaling
over a standard SS7 interface using the SS7 Message Transfer Part
(MTP) to provide transport.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
