BICC User Adaptation Layer (BUA)

This is the SS7 BICC-User Adaptation Layer (BUA) component of the OpenSS7 SIGTRAN stack. This component implements the BUA functions in a STREAMS multiplexing driver.

The BUA STREAMS driver provides the Call Control Interface (CCI).

The BUA STREAMS driver supports I_LINK and I_PLINK of Call Control Interface (CCI) streams providing SS7 BICC under the driver (SG operation). It also supports I_LINK and I_PLINK of Transport Provider Interface (TPI) streams providing Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) or other transports under the driver.

The BUA component was started in January 2002.

The BUA component of the OpenSS7 stack is in the Coding stage.
