# SCCP Addressing

The [SCCP](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/protocols/sccp/README.md) software supports the numbering plan contained in the 1996 ITU Q.713 - Q.714 and ANSI T1.112 recommendations. It places no constraints on the numbering scheme except those outlined in the 1996 ITU recommendations.

The figure immediately below illustrates the ITU addressing architecture for SCCP. The SCCP software supports from 1 to 128 digits (64 octets) within the address field.

The second figure illustrates the ANSI addressing architecture in SCCP:

***

The address information can take the following forms:

* [DPC](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/signalling/dpc/README.md) + ([SSN](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/parameters/sub-system-number/README.md) or [global title](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/concepts/global-title/README.md) or both)
* Global title
* Global title + SSN

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/protocols/sccp-addressing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
