SS7 over IP (SIGTRAN) Interface Specifications

With the exception of the SDLI and SDTI (which are driver level interfaces for the SS7 Stack), the SIGTRAN stack uses the same set of interface specifications which are used by SS7 components in the OpenSS7 stack. This permits SIGTRAN UA components to be placed between SS7 stack components without the knowledge of either the upper or lower components. SS7 modules and application run as they would in a stand-alone SS7 stack.

Following is a table listing the pertinent SS7 level interfaces and the primary reference, specifications documentation and header files at each level:
