19.1.3 SS7 MTP2 Tunneling
For the SS7 MTP2 Tunneling configuration, the MTP2 SS7 link payload is sent across long
distances (over the IP network). Both of its termination ends have SS7 MTP2 interfaces,
which are unaware of the MTP2 Tunneling between them.
MTP2 Tunneling is a proprietary solution, based on SS7 and SigTran standards.
