Hi All,

Error handling in the any software including sigtran or other telecom
stack/applications layers are not robust or correctly implemented and
thats the reason it is vendor dependent or we can categorise it as
implementation dependent.

But yes the RFC should have exact guidlines for the error msgs also to
avoid effort in investigation and troubleshooting the problems when it
comes into the live NW.

Poor error handling and missing guidlines in RFC both gives
programmers to put work-around and otherway solution.

Yes Simon....I understand your concern with VF legacy HLR some years
back....and I had gone through the similar chaos when VF node and othe
NW vendor interop happned.

Vendors are focusing more on feartures and performation but they
neverthing about how the crash,error ,memory and tracing are provided.
