Data structure embodied in a computer readable medium for communicating signaling system seven (SS7) user part messages between SS7 nodes
First Claim
1. A data structure embodied in a computer readable medium for communicating signaling system seven (SS7) user part messages between SS7 nodes, the data structure comprising:
- (a) a service field for storing message transfer part (MTP) layer 3 information and user part information;
(b) an application-level sequence number field for storing an application-level sequence number; and
(c) an internet protocol (IP) header field for storing IP information including an IP address.

Abstract
Methods and systems for transmitting user part messages between signaling system seven (SS7) signaling points over an internet protocol (IP) network include receiving, at a signal transfer point, a first SS7 user part message. The first SS7 user part message can be received from a first SS7 signaling point, such as a service switching point (SSP). The first SS7 signaling point is encapsulated in a first IP packet. The first IP packet is transmitted to a second SS7 signaling point over an IP network.
