[TOLGA]Not really. In your example, it was the M3UA-user which was
performing loadsharing, i.e. deciding to use IPSP2 or IPSP3. So, loadsharing
will be done based on an implementation dependent mechanism in M3UA-User, it
has nothhing to do with M3UA itself.

[TOLGA]I was referring to type of traffic, e.g. SCCP class1, 800-number
lookup query etc.. The characteristics of traffic type would determine the
implementation dependent message routing mechanims in M3UA-User.
