Redirected from MGCP
MGCP is an internal protocol used within a distributed system that appears to the outside world as a single VoIP gateway.
This system is composed of a Call Agent, and a set of gateways, including at least one "media gateway[?]" that performs the conversion of media signals between circuits and packets, and at least one "signaling gateway[?]" when connected to an SS7 controlled network.
The "approved" IETF protocol for the same purpose, although not as widely implemented as MGCP, is Megaco[?], defined in RFC 3015.
