M3UA - NIF doubts

Hi,

I have some doubts about how to implement the NIF:

a) Can the NIF be implemented as a level 4 user part?
b) Should the MTP stack be modified to make the
routing function send messages to the NIF?
c) Can all incoming traffic be sent to the NIF, or
could a SG act as a STP, just  routing messages within
the SS7 network?
d) When a M3UA node is inaccessible, should the SG
send signalling network management messages to the SS7
network (e.g. TFA or TFP) via NIF?

Thanks!
