Claim 9:
10. A system for load sharing class 1 signaling connection control part (SCCP) messages, the system comprising:
an SSS signal transfer point (STP) including at least one processor and a memory;
a class 1 SCCP load sharing module implemented by the at least one processor for receiving a class 1 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, using the MSU load sharing key to select a destination address from the load sharing group for the message, and inserting the destination address into the message, wherein the class 1 SCCP load sharing module is configured to generate the MSU load sharing key using a called party global title (CdGT), an originating point code (OPC), and a signaling link selector (SLS) from the message; and
a routing module implemented by the at least one processor for routing the message to a destination corresponding to the destination address.
