DTAP
DTAP takes charge of transferring transparent L3 messages from MS
to MSC or from MSC to MS which BSS will not analyze. It is transferred between BSS and MSC by using SCCP service class 2 (basic connection-oriented class).

GSM Interface Trace
No additional equipment and investment needed. A-interface trace to trace BSSAP and SCCP in BSC. A-bis interface trace to trace A-bis interface L3 messages. Um interface trace to trace Um interface L3 messages.
