摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for processing Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP) signaling within a switching system. ISUP signaling messages associated with a plurality of ISL trunks are processed within a switching system by provisioning the ISL trunks, identifying the ISUP signaling messages that are associated with the ISL trunks, and routing the identified ISUP signaling messages within the switching system to the far endpoints of the trunks using layers 1, 2, and 3 of Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol.
