Hi Alex, I know what you are saying, but the thing is I still want to know what SS7 is about and when would someone needs to do something with it. It makes me uncomfortable to having such a missing link fully understood.
I would appreciate if you can tell me more about the real SS7. Under what situation would SS7 become a topic that needs to be attended to in an Asterisk implementation?
