YateSTP (Signal Transfer Point) is a SS7 router that relays messages between various SEPs (Signaling End-Points) and other STPs.
Two signaling points connected by one link are said to be adjacent.
A collection of links that connect together the same signaling points is called a link set and each link set can contain up to 16 separate links.
A group of link sets used to reach a particular destination is called a route and a combination of routes that can be used to reach the same destination is called a route set.
