Signaling Connection and Control Part, from [[ITU-T]] recommendation Q.713, is the routing protocol for [[Signalling System 7]] networks. Its function is similar to that of [[Transport Control Protocol|TCP]] on the [[Internet]], given an origination and destination address SCCP delivers the message across multiple hops to the destination machine. SCCP uses two forms of addresses [[Point Code]] and [[subsystem number]] or [[Global Title]]s.
Point Codes identify a machine and Sub System Numbers identify different services within a machine. Global Titles are translated at an into PC and SSNs at a [[Signal Transfer Point]].
