<abstract>
<t>This document defines an architecture framework and functional requirements for transport of signaling information over IP.  The framework describes relationships between functional and physical entities exchanging signaling information, such as Signaling Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers.  It identifies interfaces where signaling transport may be used and the functional and performance requirements that apply from existing Switched Circuit Network (SCN) signaling protocols.</t></abstract></front>
