An SS7 point code is similar to an IP address in an IP network. It is a unique address for a node (Signaling Point, or SP), used in MTP layer 3 to identify the destination of a message signal unit (MSU). In such a message you will find an OPC (Originating Point Code) and a DPC (Destination Point Code); sometimes documents also refer to it as a signaling point code. Depending on the network, a point code can be 24 bits (North America, China), 16 bits (Japan), or 14 bits (ITU standard, International SS7 network and most countries) in length. ANSI point codes use 24 bits, mostly in 8-8-8 format.〔ANSI T1.111.4/2000, Message Transfer Part.〕 ITU point codes use 14 bits and are written in 3-8-3 format.〔(ITU-T Recommendation Q.704 ), Message Transfer Part.〕 Fourteen bit point codes can be written in a number of formats. The most common formats are decimal number, hexadecimal number, or 3-8-3 format (3 most significant bits, 8 middle bits, 3 least significant bits). Twenty-four bit point codes may be written in decimal, hexadecimal, or 8-8-8 format. ==Abbreviations== *OPC Originating Point Code *DPC Destination Point Code *ISPC International Signaling Point Code 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Point code」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
