What is the Media Gate control protocol?

Media Gateway Control Protocol or MGCP is a usual set of protocols that are used during a live session at a multimedia conference. Protocols help set standards for any type of voice or visual activity that takes place during the conference. At the same time, some aspects of Media Gateway Control also help in recording audio and visual activities during the Multimedia Conference conference, which allows you to archive the whole event for playback later.

The key to the function of the Media Gate gate control protocol is related to the supervision of the signaling process and allowing you to effectively manage the multimedia session. In order to fulfill these tasks, the protocol will control the process of communication between the media gate, which helps to convert data to packets and the gate controller at the moment of termination. This converting process allows you to convert packets from signals received from CIRCUIT network and allows the software to drive a conference session to easily spend and translate data into usableHi format. Today, a typical gate controller can control a number of gates, which means that the conference participants can be connected using any number of different communication devices.

In the structure, the Media Gateway Control Protocol protocol owes a lot of two existing protocols. Elements of the device control for the Internet protocol and the simple gate control protocol are found in the MGCP mixture. A little different is that with the protocol of the control of the media gate, the structure of the Master-Slave relationship builds the control firmly with the gate gate controller.

Improved versions of the Media Gate gate control protocol are usually referred to as Megaco or H.248. With the widespread use of the Internet on hand detained devices of many businesses on web conference sessions organized by meetings, these improved versions are particularly important because they allow more ports to be processed. HelpThe Media Gateway Control protocol can be organized an interactive web conference that includes thousands of individual connections with a meeting.
