Abstract

   This document defines an architecture framework and functional
   requirements for transport of signaling information over IP.  The
   framework describes relationships between functional and physical
   entities exchanging signaling information, such as Signaling Gateways
   and Media Gateway Controllers.  It identifies interfaces where
   signaling transport may be used and the functional and performance
   requirements that apply from existing Switched Circuit Network (SCN)
   signaling protocols.
