  Media gateway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Media Gateways enable multimedia communications across Next Generation Networks over multiple transport protocols such as ATM and IP.
Media Gateways are controlled by a Media Gateway Controller (also known as a Call Agent or a Soft Switch) which provides the call control and signaling functionality.
Communication between Media Gateways and Call Agents is achieved by means of protocols such as MGCP or Megaco or H.248 or SIP.

For these ISDN access gateways, the ISDN B channels may be controlled by the Media Gateway Controller using megaco/H.248 while the User-to-Network signaling running over the D channels may be relayed to the Media Gateway Controller using the Sigtran protocols.
This implies the call control signaling, which is transported in the SCN over the D-channel as Q.931 messages, has to be relayed from the Media Gateway to the Media Gateway Controller and vice versa.

 Roxen Community: RFC 3525 Gateway Control Protocol Version 1 (Standards Track)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Media Gateway Controller (MGC): Controls the parts of the call state that pertain to connection control for media channels in a MG.
In contrast, the mode of a Termination (send/receive/...) describes the flow of the media at the ingress/egress of the media gateway.
The MGC can also use the priority to control autonomously the traffic precedence in the MG in a smooth way in certain situations (e.g., restart), when a lot of Contexts must be handled simultaneously.

The media gateway may be capable of acting as a voice over IP gateway, voice over ATM gateway, dialup modem media gateway, circuit switch, or cross- connect.
If the media gateway has filled the event buffer before the script indicates that the buffer should be reported, then the expected media gateway behavior is to report the full buffer to the soft switch and then start a new event buffer to hold any new event indications.
This AVP is passed to the media gateway along with AVPs which specify the script itself and the scripting language used by the script.

 Media Gateway to Media Controller Protocols > Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The simple gateway control protocol (SGCP) was introduced in early May 1998 by Cisco during a PacketCable™ meeting (later in other standards bodies, IETF, ITU-T SG 16 and ETSI TIPHON) as a cost-effective alternative and better suited protocol to implement and deploy than current H.323 implementations in the context of the cable operators’ market.
It is important to note that all the media gateway to media gateway controller protocols emphasize the interworking of network elements introduced in these new proposals with H.323 network elements.
The term ‘device control protocol’ represents the media gateway controller to media gateway protocol.

 Media Gateway Controller (MGC) - Techabulary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
gateway is comprised of at least two components: one component that deals with call signaling on the
VoIP network and one component that deals with bearer control on the PSTN side of the gateway.
If the gateway is decomposed into two parts, separating the call control function from the bearer control function, then the part that controls the call control is referred to as a "Media Gateway Controller".

 Voice over IP (VoIP) (Linktionary term)
The gateway is subdivided into a signaling gateway (mediates signals between IP and the switched circuit networks), a media gateway (connects two different networks and performs translations), and the media gateway controller (translates and maps signaling information among the different networks).
RFC 2705 (Media Gateway Control Protocol, October 1999) provides a general description of the media gateway/media gateway controller model.
It describes an architecture in which the call control "intelligence" is outside the media gateways and handled by media gateway controllers (also called "call agents").

 media gateway - a definition from Whatis.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
As defined in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 3015, a media gateway might terminate channels from a circuit-switched network (such as a DSO) as well as streaming media from a packet-switched network such as RTP streams in an IP network.
Data input could be audio, video, or T.120 (real-time multi-point communications), which the media gateway would handle simultaneously.
The media gateway controller is sometimes called a softswitch.

 PC acting as the Media Gateway Controller (MGC)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This PC controls the MGs under its domain through the MGCP protocol, and establishes RTP sessions, for the transport of voice, between different MGs.
In the MGCP framework, the MG doesn't control the endpoint at its own discretion, but simply passes on the signaling information to the MGC and then responds to the commands sent to it by the MGC.
Thus the MGC is notified of status information of the endpoints, like offhook, onhook, digits, etc., and in turn instructs the MG to provide ring, ringback, busytone, etc., to the appropriate endpoint.

 Softswitches—Part V: Media Gateway Control Protocol
Communication between the media gateway controller and the media gateway is required in order to interconnect the logical side and physical sides of the softswitch architecture.
That communication is accomplished in a master/slave arrangement, whereby the media gateway controller sends commands to the media gateway by the use of one of two protocols.
The second protocol used for communication between the media gateway controller (call agent) and the media gateway, is called the MEGACO/H.248 standard, which will be the subject of our next tutorial.
