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		: SS7 MTP2-User Adaptation Layer

This Internet Draft defines a protocol for backhauling of SS7 MTP2 
User signaling messages over IP using the Simple Control Transmission 
Protocol (SCTP).  One application of this protocol would be to use it
between a Signaling Gateway (SG) and Media Gateway Controller (MGC).  
In this case, the Signaling Gateway would be acting as a Signaling 
Link Terminal.  Another application of this protocol would be to use 
it between a SG and a SCP.  In either application, it is assumed that 
the SG receives SS7 signaling 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
Internet-Draft.
