Ah, this particular behavior seems to have slipped my reading of the code. Yes, it's sufficient. Nevertheless, people do use "secondary point codes" for similar reasons people are using "secondary IP adresses" in IP networks, e.g. separate IP addresses for individual services so later on you can run them on separate machines without having to reconfigure your routing or all of the peers. this is only correct if those two STPs are in separate MTP-level networks, again similar to the IP sphere: If you have two STPs in one company network (or one national network, or the international network) then the addresses are global across that network. Only if you decide to have two networks that don't direclty route on point codes you can have identical point codes in both networks. You could not easily transport e.g. ISUP across such a boundary withouta proxy, but you could use a STP with Global Title Translation to use the SCCP address to get the new point code while transitioning a gateway between the two networks. fine with me. Whoever wants it differently can always configure it differently. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
