1. A method for routing a signaling message in a SS7/C7 telecommunication network including a first and second licensed operator networks, the first licensed operator network including a Border Node, the second licensed operator network including an adjacent Border Node to the Border Node in the first licensed operator network, wherein the first and second licensed operator networks are using a same Point Code configuration numbering plan for defining their nodes and wherein the Border Node in the first telecommunication network and the adjacent Border Node in the second licensed operator network are interconnected by at least a Link Set, also the SS7/C7 telecommunication network is characterized in that the Border Node in the first licensed operator network is supporting Message Transfer Part Point Code Mapping for both licensed operator networks. Said method comprising steps of:

  • receiving in the Message Transfer Part (MTP) of the Border Node in the first licensed operator network a signaling message, the signaling message including an Originating Point Code (OPC) and a Destination Point Code (DPC), wherein the OPC and DPC values are according with the numbering plan of the licensed operator network that originates the signaling message;

    mapping based in the direction of the signaling message in the MTP of the Border Node in the first licensed operator network, the OPC and DPC from the first numbering plan to an second network numbering plan; and

    delivering the signaling message from the Border Node in the first licensed operator network to a destination node according to the mapped DPC of the second numbering plan.
