@ -59,6 +59,17 @@ At the time of writing, SCCP/M3UA links involving Osmocom program are:
- IuPS-interface: OsmoHNBGW to OsmoSGSN
- Lb-interface: OsmoSMLC to OsmoBSC
On the SCTP/IP level, those connections are actually all established from
the respective program (BSC, MSC, HNBGW, SGSN, SMLC) to OsmoSTP. Hence,
if you look at the traffic in a protocol analyzer like wireshark, at IP
level, you will see each of those programs establishing an SCTP
association from a random local IP to the well-known SCTP port for M3UA
(2905) at the OsmoSTP.
Those star-connections for M3UA/SCTP then are the transport network for
higher level protocols like SCCP. OsmoSTP then acts as central router
for SCCP-level message exchange between all the connected programs.
=== Connect to STP Instance
By default, an STP instance is assumed to listen on the default M3UA port
