+== A-link including SCCP/BSSAP/DTAP
+
+OsmoBSC implements a minimal sub-set of the GSM A interface as specified
+in TS 08.08.
+
+Unlike classic A interface implementations for E1 interfacs, OsmoBSC
+implements a variant of encapsulating the A interface over IP. To do
+so, the SCCP messages are wrapped in an IPA multiplex and then
+communicated over TCP. The audio channels are mapped to RTP streams.
+
+This protcol stacking is sometimes called "SCCPlite".
