SS7 MTP2-User Peer-to-Peer Adaptation Layer

This Internet Draft defines a protocol supporting the transport of SS7 MTP Layer 3 signaling messages over IP using the services of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). This protocol would be used between SS7 Signaling Points employing the MTP Level 3 protocol. The SS7 Signaling Points may also employ standard SS7 links using the SS7 Message Transfer Part (MTP) Layer 2 to provide transport of MTP Layer 3 signaling messages.
