SCCP
SCCP provides connectionless and connection-oriented network
services above MTP Level 3. While MTP Level 3 provides point codes to allow
messages to be addressed to specific signaling points, SCCP provides
subsystem numbers to allow messages to be addressed to specific applications
(called subsystems) at these signaling points. SCCP is used as the transport
layer for TCAP-based services such as freephone (800/888), calling card,
local number portability, wireless roaming, and personal communications
services (PCS). Global Title Translation
