converting said SS7 signaling traffic to an IP message stream utilizing protocol conversion layers, wherein said conversion layers include transaction capabilities application part (TCAP), message transfer part 1 (MTP1), MTP2, and MTP3 Message Transfer Part 3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) to a second signaling gateway, wherein
the second SG receiving the IP message stream and recovering the SS7 signaling traffic from the IP message stream and sending the recovered SS7 signaling traffic to a second SS7 signaling link;
transferring the signaling traffic over the IP network by routing the signaling traffic in said IP message stream to a second SG capable of supporting Peer-to-peer communications with the first SG; and
the second SG receiving the IP message stream, recovering the SS7 signaling traffic from the IP message stream and sending the recovered SS7 signaling traffic to a second signaling point.
an IP interface to an IP signaling link, wherein said IP signaling link; and
conversion means, comprising protocol conversion layers between said SS7 interface and said IP interface for converting SS7 signaling traffic received from said SS7 signaling link to IP traffic suitable for transmission over said IP signaling link, said conversion layers including transaction capabilities application part (TCAP), message transfer part 1 (MTP1), MTP2, MTP3 and Message Transfer Part 3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) to a second signaling gateway, wherein
the second SG receiving the IP message stream, recovering the SS7 signaling traffic from the IP message stream and sending the recovered SS7 signaling traffic to a second SS7 signaling link.
12. The signaling gateway of claim 11 wherein said conversion means comprises SS7 to IP conversion layers.
a first Signaling Gateway (SG) adapted for receiving SS7 signaling traffic from a first signaling point over said SS7 network, said first SG configured to convert SS7 signaling traffic into an IP message stream utilizing protocol conversion layers, wherein said conversion layers include transaction capabilities application part (TCAP), message transfer part 1 (MTP1), MTP2 and MTP3, Message Transfer Part 3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA) and to route said IP message stream on said IP network; and
18. The system of claim 17 wherein at least one of said signaling points is an SS7 Signaling Transfer Point (STP).
