| Oct 4, 2012 at 22:06 | comment | added | Alexander Janssen | Would it help if I compile a list of usecases to proof my claims? I don't want to troll around, start a flamewar or make people angry. I just feel that this is the right place. Networking professionals. A lot of people might be into it. | |
| Oct 4, 2012 at 22:00 | comment | added | Alexander Janssen | The telco business changed a lot in recent years. SS7 isn't not only transported exclusively via PCM30 any more, but via SIGTRAN, which is transported via SCTP, which is an IP-level protocol. Does that make it valid? And looking into the GTP-U protocol, which transports user-plane IP-traffic from the Radio Access Network to the GGSN - if that's not IP-networking, then I don't know. | |

| Oct 4, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | Alexander Janssen | Yes, I read it. "Network routing, switches, and firewalls". OK. It's not specifically related to telecommunication networks. But anyway, I just figured out that meta.SF is not something I'd like to spend too much time into. I just take the chance trying to give useful answers in the case something about telecommunication pops up, taking the risk to be downvoted. | |

| Oct 4, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | Alexander Janssen | Yes, I did. So, what did I miss then? | |
| Oct 4, 2012 at 7:34 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | Have you even read the FAQ? | |
