The M3UA (Message Transfer Part 3 User Adaptation Layer) layer can be used like this:

extend an MTP3 link
replace the MTP3 and MTP2 layers entirely
do a signaling gateway (SG) with a shared point code
do a signaling gateway (SG) to another signaling gateway with a shared point code

Here are some examples:

TelcoBridges supports M3UA as part of its support for SIGTRAN.

You can see some use cases for Sigtran here: Sigtran use cases and M3UA Configurations
