In this Internet Draft, we highlight the problem of providing high-quality signaling across an IP network that is built on a SONET infrastructure. We show that there are cases where the current PSTN standards are not satisfiable by a naive mapping of the IT signaling directly to the UDP or TCP transport protocols, even neglect- ing packet loss in router queues.}, }
