An open implementation of the SS7 core protocols, MTP, SCCP, ISUP, and TCAP.

An open implementation of the SS7 core protocols, MTP, SCCP, ISUP, and TCAP. This release is really the first release containing ss7 content. It contains the MTP3 message decoder and encoder. The next steps are to write the encoders and decoders for the other core ss7 protocols. These can be based on the MTP3 implementation. In addition basic message handling code will be added to the MTP3 layer.
The objective of this project is to produce an open implementation of the ss7 core protocols: Message Transfer Part Level 3 (MTP3), ISDN User Part (ISUP), Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP), and Transaction Capabilities Part (TCAP). In addition the ietf sigtran working group has defined a set of adaptation layers to enabled the transport of ss7 data over IP. The project should produce an implementation of these layers as well.
