Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
receiving a class 1 signaling connection control part (SCCP) message requiring global title translation (GTT);
performing GTT on the message to select a load sharing group for the message;
generating a message signal unit (MSU) load sharing key using parameters from a combination of message transfer part (MTP) layer parameters and signaling connection control part (SCCP) layer parameters, wherein generating the MSU load sharing key using the MTP layer parameters and the SCCP layer parameters includes generating the MSU load sharing key using a called party global title (CdGT), an originating point code (GPC), and a signaling link selector (SLS) from the message;
using the MSU load sharing key to select a destination address from the load sharing group for the message;
inserting the destination address into the message; and
routing the message to a destination corresponding to the destination address.
