IESG Note
This document is being published for the information of the
community. It describes a non-IETF protocol that is currently being
deployed in a number of products. Implementers should be aware of
RFC 3015, which was developed in the IETF Megaco Working Group and
the ITU-T SG16, and which is considered the standards-based
(including reviewed security considerations) way to meet the needs
that MGCP was designed to address by the IETF and the ITU-T.
Abstract
The base Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) specification (RFC
3435) allows endpoints to be redirected one endpoint at a time. This
document provides extensions in the form of a new MGCP package that
provides mechanisms for redirecting and resetting a group of
endpoints. It also includes the ability to more accurately redirect
endpoints by allowing a list of Call Agents to be specified in a
preferred order.
