Abstract
A novel apparatus effectively processes signaling information to be communicated between an electronic switching system (ESS) and at least one other ESS. In case of transmitting a plurality of signaling information from one ESS to the other ESS's, a plurality of signaling data is first provided from corresponding user parts contained in the ESS to a signaling message handler wherein they are routed to corresponding signaling links. Next, at a signaling link processor, the status of all the signaling links formed between the ESS and the other ESS's and the status of each of the plurality of signaling data are checked and analyzed to generate information representing their status. Using the plurality of the signaling data and generated information, a corresponding number of signaling units are formed for the reliable transmission thereof. Finally, the plurality of signaling units are relayed to a block that interfaces and transmits each of them to the other ESS's.
