It is an object of the invention to provide an advantageous SAS Service
Architecture. The inventive SAS service architecture has a layered
structure including a set of software modules, at least: ASTP dispatcher,
SCCP transcoder, TCAP, TCAP user service distributor, at least two TCAP
user services; ASTP=specific advanced signaling transfer protocol
including routing information, etc. Within the SAS service architecture
at least two different types of interactions can be configured:
interaction Type A between ASTP dispatcher and TCAP user service,
interaction Type B1 between TCAP user service 1 and TCAP user service 2.
