RE: M2PA retrasmission buffer

Dario,

1. The M2PA and SCTP retransmission buffers are used for totally different
purposes:

a. The SCTP retransmission buffer is used to retransmit a packet if it gets
lost at the TCP/IP layer.
b. The M2PA retransmission buffer is used to retransmit a msg during link
switchover at the MTP2/MTP3 layers.

2. M3UA has no need for a retransmission buffer because it sits between the
MTP3 and MTP3-user layers.

Hi Brian,
so it means that both SCTP and M2PA should buffer sent but not acknowledged
messages?
On the other hand, Data Retrieval and Retransmission is not supported in
M3UA.
Best regards, Dario
