Hi,
It’s a long time since I worked with SCCP but as I remember ( for IN services at least)
A certain SSN number is used for a specific service between two exchanges or in a network.
Hence a preference might be the thing to use. e.g
in a capture from a specific place the SSN is known ?
Best regards
