Re: M2UA terminology

Brian, 

I see from your answer that the AS isn't related with
any MTP3 entity as a  signaling link, signaling link
set or with the signaling routes towars a certain PS.
It could be, but it's only a particular case.

In "real terms" the AS would be the part of MGC MTP3
which a SG could see by the means of its
configuration.
A limit at the SG for the number of InterfaceIds per
AS  at a value of 16 (in my case, value which
missconduct me to make the analogy AS-signaling link
set) signifies only that a SG of this type could treat
only that amount of signalings links(16) for the MGC.

thanks
Iulian
