This section describes routing messages beyond the Link Sets. Typically
all the physical SS7 connections are to one of more Signaling Transfer Points
(STPs), but most call control messages need to be routed beyond this point
to a switch, using the following procedure:
- Decide how many Route Sets are required. Typically this is the number
of switches. If the network does not require additional routing, either because
it is directly connected to the Switch, or because the STP already knows how
to route the message, then a Route Set is required for each Link Set.
- For each Route Set, identify the destination point code (DPC) and the
trunks associated with that switch.
- For each Route Set, identify which of the Link Sets can route the messages.
Up to four Link Sets can be specified.
