Stream Control Transmission Protocol ( SCTP)

Services by SCTP: Application provides reliable data transfer between two IP end points

It offers acknowledged error-free nonduplicated transfer of datagrams (messages).

Detection of data corruption, loss of data and duplication of data is achieved by using checksums and sequence numbers. A selective retransmission mechanism is applied to correct loss or corruption of data.

features as TCSM2.
MGW doesnt support 8kbit/s submultiplexing on Ater No O&M LAPD between BSC and MGW. No need to equip TCSM unit into BSC HW database User is responsible for creating identical transcoder configurations to both BSC and MGW.
