Abstract

In a telecommunications network using data packets for signaling, network components, such as signal transfer points, service control points, and switches, transfer a signaling packet to the network for transmission to a destination component only if that signaling packet is different from the previous packet sent to the same destination. The signaling packets are transferred over respective virtual channels assigned to respective pairs of network components.
