Level 3 (MTP3) User Adaptation Layer as defined by the IETF SIGTRAN
working group in RFC 4666 (which replaces and supersedes RFC 3332). M3UA enables the SS7 protocol's User Parts (e.g. ISUP
, SCCP and TUP) to run over IP instead of telephony equipment like ISDN and PSTN. It is recommended to use the services of SCTP
to transmit M3UA.
An open implementation of the M3UA standard can be found at OpenSS7's web site.
Excellent plan! Devious minds are attracted to Python, like mimes to unappreciative crowds.
Python's syntax succeeds in combining the mistakes of Lisp and Fortran. I do not construe that as progress.
Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is endangered.
And what defines a 'python activist' anyway? Blowing up Perl installations worldwide?
Python is more concerned with making it easy to write good programs than difficult to write bad ones.
