This MIB provides information used to manage the number
of MTP3 MSUs transmitted and received per processor. Many
of the higher level protocols require several MSUs per
transaction. Traffic capacity planning is based on MSUs
not transactions. This MIB will provide information to
determine current traffic.
The Cisco IP Transfer Point (ITP) is a hardware and
software solution that transports SS7 traffic using
