Tolga,

Well, no.  Unlike MTP, where the transfer function is only optionally
equipped at specific interior nodes in the network (STPs), SCCP relay
is possible at all nodes in the network (including endpoints).  Therefore
M3UA can treat the network as point to point (i.e. like all F-links with
no STPs) but SUA cannot treat the network as having no relay points.

Therefore, SUA IPSPs must support relay to support SCCP-Users.
