A redundancy method of AS traffic in signaling gateway using loadsharing scheme

M3UA supports the transport of any SS7 MTP3 - User Signaling over IP using the services of the SCTP. AS is a notion of M3UA and is a logical entity serving a specific Routing Key, where we use DPC, OPC and CIC ranges as Routing Key in this paper, and ASP is a process instance of an AS. In this paper, we propose a method that SG distributes traffic of AS to multiple active ASPs in the AS using loadsharing scheme. Using our method, we can distribute AS traffic efficiently.
