# SCCP - Signaling Connection Control Part SCCP is a protocol within the [[SS7 - Signaling System No. 7]] suite that provides extended routing, flow control, and error correction functions. SCCP is responsible for the transportation of higher-level [[SS7 - Signaling System No. 7|SS7]] messages between signaling points, which can be addressed using [[GT - Global Title]]. It is reasonable to draw a comparison between [[SCCP - Signaling Connection Control Part|SCCP]] in telecommunication networks and [[IP - Internet Protocol]] in data networks, though they operate in different contexts and have distinct functions.
