RE: Congestion in M3UA/SUA and the use of the SCON

Brian,

I'm not sure what your point is. Detection of congestion is generally
considered to be "implementation dependent".  One of the functions of
SubSystem Management is to manage the state of the local subsystem.  One
of these states is congested.  The detection of congestion towards a
particular subsystem is implementation dependent.  I didn't say it was
in the SCCP user.

Regards,
Lincoln

SCCP and Subsystem congestion are below the SCCP/SCCP-User interface,
not above.
