Brian,

I saw that you map congestion levels in ASPSTATUS message to SS7 congestion
levels. IMO, it is better to interprete this congestion as something not
directly related with SS7 congestion. Any mapping could be done by SG. We
can have 8-bits of congestion indicating 256 levels. When SG maps the
aggregated congestion status to SS7 congestion levels, 256 is overkill but
OTOH this congestion information may be used by SG also for message
distribution purposes.

   Thanks,
   Tolga
