A multiple point code routing node is configured to recognize multiple point codes as true point codes. The multiple point code routing node originates, terminates, and processes messages having any of its any of its true point codes. As a result, the multiple point code routing node can replace two or more signal transfer points in a conventional telecommunications network without requiring reconfiguration of other nodes in the telecommunications network. Multiple point code routing node may also recognize multiple adjacent point codes or secondary adjacent point codes of a mated multiple point code routing node. Because the multiple point code routing node can associate multiple point codes with its mate, the number of logical or physical signaling links between adjacent multiple point code routing nodes can be increased.
A method for reducing the number of signal transfer points in a signaling network without re-configuring network elements configured to communicate with the signal transfer points, the method comprising:
A method for originating network management messages using a multiple point code routing node for replacing multiple STPs, the method comprising:
A link interface module for allowing a multiple point code routing node to replace multiple signal transfer points in multiple networks, the link interface module comprising:
A multiple point code routing node for replacing multiple STPs comprising:
A telecommunications system comprising:
A telecommunications system comprising:
