Mediant 8000
38.6.2.1 SS7 M2UA (SG Side) Architecture
The Mediant 8000 is physically connected to the SS7 network. MTP2 traffic is
backhauled to the SoftSwitch (or MGC) via IP network (M2UA).

38-8: SS7 M2UA (SG side) Architecture
The Mediant 8000 has the following M2UA capabilities:

Up to 64 SS7 Data Links per Media Gateway board

Up to 84 UAL Interfaces per Media Gateway board

Up to 3 UAL Groups per Media Gateway board
38.6.2.2 SS7 MTP3/M3UA Architecture
The Mediant 8000 is physically connected to the SS7 network. It processes MTP3
payload and sends upper application layers to the SoftSwitch (or MGC) via IP network
(M3UA). In this architecture, contrary to the M2UA architecture, all SS7 network
routing is accomplished by the Media Gateway.

The Mediant 8000 contains the following MTP3/M3UA capabilities:

Up to 64 SS7 Data Links per Media Gateway board

Up to 2 SS7 Nodes per Media Gateway board

Up to 32 SS7 Linksets per SS7 Node

Up to 30 SS7 Routesets per SS7 Node

Up to 8 SS7 Linkset Links per SS7 Linkset
