scope:

This standard describes the Generic Signaling Transport Service. It allows the definition of signaling specifications without consideration of the idiosyncrasies of the underlying signaling transport mechanisms.

This standard also describes the interface states and the definition of the service by a number of primitives. The Generic Signaling Transport Service can be deployed by means of Signaling Transport Converters over a range of signaling transport protocol stacks.

NOTE - Signaling Transport Converters are defined, for example, in Chapters T1.674.1 and T1.674.2.

This standard is based on the requirements defined in T1.TR.69-2000, Signaling Requirements for the Support of Narrowband Services Via Broadband Transport Technologies, and T1.TR.71-2001, Signaling Requirements for the Support of Narrowband Services via Broadband Transport Technologies, CS1+.
