Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for
Advanced Networks (SPAN).
Endorsement notice
The elements of Internet Engineering Task Force Request for Comments RFC 3331 apply, with the following
modifications.
Introduction
The present document records the changes to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 3331 [2] document.
RFC 3331 [2] specifies an Internet standard track protocol for the backhauling of Signalling Systems No.7 (SS7)
Message Transfer Part 2 (SS7 MTP2) User signalling messages over IP using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP) (see RFC 3331 [2]).

1 Scope
The present document specifies the requirements for the MTP2 User Adaptation layer (M2UA), when used in
conjunction with the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for the transport of the Signalling System
No.7 (SS7) Message Transport Part 3 (MTP3) messages over the Internet Protocol (IP). The document endorses and
constrains where relevant the SIGTRAN (IETF) RFC 3331 [2] of M2UA.

4 General considerations applicable to transport of
Signalling System No.7 over IP
The elements of SIGTRAN adaptation layers apply with the following exceptions and restrictions. The considerations
in this clause are common to the present document, TS 102 142 [6] and TS 102 143 [7].
4.1 Transport protocol
The protocol underlying the adaptation layer for transport of SS No.7 signalling information in IP networks shall be
SCTP.
4.2 SCTP considerations
The SCTP used shall conform to TS 102 144 [8].
The SCTP payload protocol identifier for messages pertaining to an adaptation layer shall be the one assigned by IANA
for that layer. Adaptation layer messages received with neither the IANA payload protocol identifier nor payload
protocol identifier equal to 0 shall be silently discarded.
Unordered user messages shall not be used.
4.3 National options
No national options excluded by ETSI standards shall apply to the present document.
4.4 Application Server mode
The Broadcast mode shall not be used.

 7 ETSI TS 102 141 V1.1.1 (2003-05)
4.5 Application Server state handling
If multiple Application Server Processes (ASPs) are used within the AS, the AS shall be considered active when the
first ASP becomes active, and shall remain active until the last ASP becomes inactive.
4.6 Dynamic registration
Dynamic registration shall not be used for configuration management. The configuration of the system shall be
modified only by the management system, and not by the protocol itself.
4.7 Message distribution to the Application Server
The key to enable messages to be distributed to the appropriate AS shall have a granularity no smaller than is allowed
by the management messages appropriate to that layer.
4.8 Receipt of unrecognized messages
If a message with an unrecognized message class is received, a Management Error message shall be returned with Error
Code "Unsupported Message Class".
5 Considerations applicable to M2UA
5.1 M2UA procedures
The M2UA procedures shall be as defined in RFC 3331 [2] augmented by ITU-T Recommendations Q.701 [3],
Q.702 [4] and Q.703 [5] as modified by EN 300 008-1 [1], except where otherwise defined below.
5.2 National options
No national options excluded by EN 300 008-1 [1] shall apply to the present document.
5.3 Dynamic registration
Dynamic registration of Link Keys shall not be used for configuration management. The configuration of the system
shall be modified only by the management system, and not by the protocol itself.
5.4 Message distribution to the Application Server
No special considerations for message distribution to the Application Server apply for M2UA.
5.5 Using of the terms MGC (Media Gateway Controller) and
ASP (Application Server process)
The terms "MGC" and "ASP" have the same meaning in the present document.

6 Modifications to RFC 3331
Modifications to RFC 3331 [2] are listed according to the sections and subsections of RFC 3331 [2].
Section 1 Introduction
ANSI references do not apply. Add a reference EN 300 008-1 [1].
Subsection 1.3 M2UA Overview
ANSI references do not apply. Add a reference EN 300 008-1 [1].
Subsection 1.3.1 Example - SG to MGC
SCTP shall be used as the transport protocol for M2UA. TCP shall not be used as the transport protocol for M2UA.
Subsection 1.3.3 Client/Server Model
The SGP shall be able to support SCTP server operation and the ASP shall be able to support SCTP client operation.
Support of both SCTP client and SCTP server operation at the ASP or SGP is optional.
Subsection 1.4.2 Support for communication between Layer Management modules on SG and MGC
NOTE: M-ERROR is a primitive, not a message.
Subsection 1.4.3 Support for management of active associations between SG and MGC
The M2UA layer shall inform its local Layer Management of the status of its underlying SCTP associations. This is
done by use of the M-SCTP_STA
