It is a way to map and/or encapsulate some values particular to PSTN
signaling protocols (such as ISUP) back into SIP so that SIP can serve
as a minimally viable transport between two nodes that speak those
protocols, i.e.

ISUP ----> SIP/ISUP gateway ----> IP ----> SIP/ISUP gateway ---> ISUP

Asterisk does not really support these because it is a back-to-back user
agent, so it does not need to follow RFC rules regarding conservation of
special headers or data elements in a transaction the way that a proxy
does. Asterisk can and will regenerate new call legs scoped to the
interface technologies it actually supports and cares about.
