SS7 MTP2-User Adaptation Layer (M2UA)


Overview:-	This is the SS7 MTP2-User Adatapation Layer (M2UA) component of the OpenSS7 SIGTRAN stack. This component implements the M2UA functions in a STREAMS multiplexing driver. The M2UA STREAMS driver provides the Signalling Link Interface (SLI). The M2UA STREAMS driver supports I_LINK and I_PLINK of Signalling Link Interface (SLI) streams providing SS7 MTP Level 2 signalling links under the driver. 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.

History:-	The M2UA component was started in January 2000.

Status:-	The M2UA component of the OpenSS7 stack is in the Testing stage, however, it has been rewritten several times.

Dependencies:-	This component depends on the SS7 MTP Level 2 Signalling Link Interface (SLI) and Transport Provider Interface (TPI) access to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) or other transports.
