Talk:Gateway Control Protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With regard to the spelling of signalling, the ITU and IETF standards use signalling, and not signaling in their titles and text.

——— The 'see also' section references SIP... can someone put in a clue to explain the relationship? i.e. what illumination should a reader be looking for if they follow that link? DKEdwards 20:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with "Media Gateway Control Protocol"?

Should this article be merged with Media Gateway Control Protocol? Seems like they are the same thing. Diverman 01:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

MGCP and Megaco are not the same protocol, although with the same aim created. Megaco is actually the implementation of MGCP, which is a broader thing.

I think this statement is a little bit misleading. AFAIR MEGACO is an implementation of MGCP *API* defined in RFC 2805, not the protocol defined in RFC 3525.

H.248 and MGCP are completely different, incompatible protocols that operate over the same interface -- that of a decomposed H.323 Gateway. Beyond the obvious syntax differences, the connection models are also different between the two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tex2690 (talk • contribs) 05:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
