[comp.std.internat] Looking for SS7

ouimet@IRO.UMontreal.CA (Daniel Ouimet) (04/13/91)

Does anybody know the CCITT Recommandation number for the protocol SS7 ?
I would prefer an SDL or an Estelle description.

Also, are there any Test Case for this protocol, I will also be
looking for this?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
