5、U-T Study Group 9 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. J.162 (11/2005) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is
6、a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, e
7、stablishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary
8、 standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, th
9、e Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equival
10、ents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a clai
11、med Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had n
12、ot received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2006 All rights r

22、y Controller Interface (MGCI), and a corresponding protocol, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), for controlling voice-over-IP (VoIP) embedded clients from external call control elements. The MGCP assumes a call control architecture where the call control “intelligence“ is outside the gateways an
23、d is handled by external call control elements. The profile, as described in this Recommendation, will be referred to as the Network-based Call Signalling (NCS) Protocol. This Recommendation is based on the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) 1.0 RFC 2705, which is the result of a merge of the Sim
24、ple Gateway Control Protocol, and the IP Device Control (IPDC) family of protocols. This Recommendation is technically compatible with the corresponding CableLabs PacketCable specification. 2 References 2.1 Normative references The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisi

43、tive “REQUIRED“ means that the item is an absolute requirement of this Recommendation. “MUST NOT“ This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this Recommendation. “SHOULD“ This word or the adjective “RECOMMENDED“ means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances
44、to ignore this item, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different course. “SHOULD NOT“ This phrase means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the listed behaviour is acceptable, or even useful, but the full i
45、mplications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behaviour described with this label. 4 ITU-T Rec. J.162 (11/2005) “MAY“ This word or the adjective “OPTIONAL“ means that this item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular
46、 marketplace requires it or because it enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item. 5 Introduction This Recommendation describes the NCS profile of an application programming interface (MGCI) and a corresponding protocol (MGCP) for controlling embedded clients from exter
47、nal call control elements. An embedded client is a network element that provides: two or more traditional analogue access lines to a voice-over-IP (VoIP) network; optionally, one or more video lines to a VoIP network. Embedded clients may not be confined to residential use only. For example, they ma
48、y be used in a business as well. Embedded clients are used for line-side access and, as such, are expected to have line-side equipment, e.g., analogue access lines for conventional telephones associated with them, as opposed to trunk gateways. The MGCP assumes a call control architecture where the c
49、all control “intelligence“ is outside the gateways and handled by external call-control elements referred to as Call Agents. The MGCP assumes that these call-control elements, or Call Agents (CAs), will synchronize with each other to send coherent commands to the gateways under their control. The MGCP defined in this Recommendation does not define a mechanism for synchronizing Call Agents, although future IPCablecom specifications may specify such mechanisms. The MGCP assumes a connection model where the b
