IPS7 Defined
IPS7 is an open architecture defining signaling in
packet telephony
IPS7 implies IP based packet telephony signaling defined
loosely on SS7 concepts and designed to interwork with SS7.
open implies something that is not specific to one vendor, in
contrast to closed, proprietary, or de-facto.
architecture implies a defining framework to base designs on.
IPS7 is not
A protocol...
A standard...
An implementation
An application programming interface (API)...
Anything proprietary to Nortel Networks.

The initial focus of the IETF sigtran working group was to define a
standard enabling Real-time Reliable Transport for signaling
related messages. Once this was well underway, the scope
expanded to include higher level requirements.
The sigtran approach carefully partitions various aspects of the
necessary tasks into well defined layers and associated protocols.
It is possible to implement only the user adaptation layers useful
for specific products, not the entire protocol suite.
The formal names of the current sigtran components are:
SCTP Signaling Common Transport Protocol
IUA ISDN Q921 User Adaptation Layer
M2UA MTP2 User Adaptation Layer
M3UA MTP3 User Adaptation Layer
SUA SCCP User Adaptation Layer

Unlike the IETF sigtran layered model, both the ISTP and TALI
implementations combine several signaling functions in a single
structure utilizing TCP as a transport.
This technique makes analysis and testing more challenging than
with a well partitioned model.
TALI is an API, or definition of how to write programs that interact
with each other, rather than a protocol suite defining exact
communications exchanges assuring multi-vendor interworking.
ISTP is missing several classical signaling functionalities and is
North American centric, based on ANSI SS7 standards.
