General
The Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) provides additional functions to the Message Transfer Part (MTP) to provide both connectionless as well as connection-oriented network services to transfer circuit-related and non circuit-related signaling information and other types of information between exchanges and specialized centers in telecommunication networks (e.g., for management and maintenance purposes) via a Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) network.
A functional block situated above the MTP, (see T1.110-1999 (R2005)), performs the functions and procedures of the SCCP. The SCCP is capable of using the services of the MTP as described in ATIS- 1000111, chapters ATIS-1000111.1 to ATIS-1000111.8. The combination of the MTP and the SCCP is called the Network Service Part (NSP).
