Abstract :
The authors wish to provide a unification of this issue´s papers by providing a clear context for them. Common channel signaling can be defined as the system that enables stored program control exchanges, network databases, and other nodes of a network to exchange messages related to call setup, supervision, and take down (call and connection control information); information needed for distributed application processing (interprocess query and response or user-to-user data); and network management information
