Abstract
This document describes an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) package
for the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP). This package includes
new Local Connection Options, ATM-specific events and signals, and
ATM connection parameters. Also included is a description of codec
and profile negotiation. It extends the MGCP that is currently being
deployed in a number of products. Implementers should be aware of
developments in the IETF Megaco Working Group and ITU SG16, which are
currently working on a potential successor to this protocol.
