Additional Information:
The IMG will interwork the SIP INFO message into a SPIROU ITX message.
The IMG will interwork the SPIROU ITX message into a SIP INFO message.
Interworking both from SIP INFO to SPIROU ITX and from SPIROU ITX to SIP INFO is supported
The IMG supports the C2 and C3 parameters in the body of the incoming SIP INFO(ITX) message format to appear in any order. (For example: C2 may appear first followed by C3, or vice versa).
For SS7-to-SIP, the IMG1010 willll generate the SIP INFO(ITX) message format with C2 first followed by C3 in the message body.
The IMG supports incoming SIP INFO(ITX) messages with Content-Length set as 13. In this message format, there are no trailing CR/LF characters at the end of the message body.
In SS7-to-SIP scenario, the IMG will generate the SIP INFO(ITX) message format with Content-Length set as 15 with the trailing CR/LF.
The IMG will not maintain any information related to the ITX message.
