==Transport over IP Networks==

In the [[SIGTRAN]] suite of protocols, there are two primary methods of transporting SCCP applications across [[Internet Protocol]] networks: SCCP can be transported indirectly using the [[M3UA|''MTP level 3 User Adaptation'' protocol (M3UA)]], a protocol which provides support for users of [[Message Transfer Part|MTP-3]]—including SCCP. Alternatively, SCCP applications can operate directly over the [[SUA|''SCCP User Adaptation'' protocol (SUA)]] which is a form of modified SCCP designed specifically for use in IP networking.

[[ITU-T]] also provides for the transport of SCCP users over [[Internet Protocol]] using the ''Generic Signalling Transport'' service specified in [http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.2150.0/en/ Q.2150.0], the ''signalling transport converter'' for [[Stream Control Transmission Protocol|SCTP]] specified in [http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.2150.3/en/ Q.2150.3] and a specialized ''Transport-Independent Signalling Connection Control Part'' (TI-SCCP) specified in [http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.2220/en/ T-REC-Q.2220].
