[Asterisk-Users] Little confused about Caller ID

[Tom Chandler]

In my six years of SS7 work I have never seen the calling name generated by
the calling switch and passed via the SS7 network.  Normally and of all the
installations
that I seen, it is done by the called switch via a TCAP query to a SCP
database.
