I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-sigtran-m3ua-v02-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Signaling Transport Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Signaling System 7 (SS7) Message Transfer Part 3 (MTP3)
			  - User Adaptation Layer (M3UA)
	Author(s)	: G. Sidebottom, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-sigtran-m3ua-v02-00.txt
	Pages		: 108
	Date		: 2004-4-22

This memo defines a protocol for supporting the transport of any SS7
   MTP3-User signalling (e.g., ISUP and SCCP messages) over IP using the
   services of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol.  Also,
   provision is made for protocol elements that enable a seamless
   operation of the MTP3-User peers in the SS7 and IP domains. This
   protocol would be used between a Signalling Gateway (SG) and a Media
   Gateway Controller (MGC) or  IP-resident Database, or between two
   IP-based applications.  It is assumed that the SG receives SS7
   signalling over a standard SS7 interface using the SS7 Message
   Transfer Part (MTP) to provide transport.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
