Hi Cristian,

It's been a (long) while but from what I remember, it was basically unheard
of to not have SSNs in the Called/Calling party addresses.  Pretty much
everything (that I remember) was set up with this assumption in place.
This includes the user table which, as you noticed, requires the SSN.

I would think that once TCAP is decoded (with the default payload set) then
the MAP parts should be decoded too.  That might be worth a bug report if
you can share a sample PCAP.

Regards,
-Jeff
