1. SCOPE

   This document defines the protocol used between elements of a
   physically decomposed multimedia gateway.  There are no functional
   differences from a system view between a decomposed gateway, with
   distributed sub-components potentially on more than one physical
   device, and a monolithic gateway such as described in H.246. This
   document does not define how gateways, multipoint control units or
   interactive voice response units (IVRs) work.  Instead it creates a
   general framework that is suitable for these applications.

   Packet network interfaces may include IP, ATM or possibly others. The
   interfaces will support a variety of SCN signalling systems,
   including tone signalling, ISDN, ISUP, QSIG, and GSM.  National
   variants of these signalling systems will be supported where
   applicable.

   The protocol definition in this document is common text with ITU-T
   Recommendation H.248.  It meets the requirements documented in RFC
   2805.

3. DEFINITIONS

   Access Gateway: A type of gateway that provides a User to Network
   Interface (UNI) such as ISDN.

   Descriptor: A syntactic element of the protocol that groups related
   properties.  For instance, the properties of a media flow on the MG
   can be set by the MGC by including the appropriate descriptor in a
   command.

   Media Gateway (MG): The media gateway converts media provided in one
   type of network to the format required in another type of network.
   For example, a MG could terminate bearer channels from a switched
   circuit network (e.g., DS0s) and media streams from a packet network
   (e.g., RTP streams in an IP network).  This gateway may be capable of
   processing audio, video and T.120 alone or in any combination, and
   will be capable of full duplex media translations.  The MG may also
   play audio/video messages and perform other IVR functions, or may
   perform media conferencing.

   Media Gateway Controller (MGC): Controls the parts of the call state
   that pertain to connection control for media channels in a MG.

   Multipoint Control Unit (MCU): An entity that controls the setup and
   coordination of a multi-user conference that typically includes
   processing of audio, video and data.

   Residential Gateway: A gateway that interworks an analogue line to a
   packet network. A residential gateway typically contains one or two
   analogue lines and is located at the customer premises.

   SCN FAS Signalling Gateway: This function contains the SCN Signalling
   Interface that terminates SS7, ISDN or other signalling links where
   the call control channel and bearer channels are collocated in the
   same physical span.

   SCN NFAS Signalling Gateway: This function contains the SCN
   Signalling Interface that terminates SS7 or other signalling links
   where the call control channels are separated from bearer channels.

   Stream: Bidirectional media or control flow received/sent by a media
   gateway as part of a call or conference.

   Trunk: A communication channel between two switching systems such as
   a DS0 on a T1 or E1 line.

   Trunking Gateway: A gateway between SCN network and packet network
   that typically terminates a large number of digital circuits.
