   and audit properties of Contexts or Terminations. Commands provide
   for complete control of the properties of Contexts and Terminations.
   This includes specifying which events a Termination is to report,
   which signals/actions are to be applied to a Termination and
   specifying the topology of a Context (who hears/sees whom).

   Most commands are for the specific use of the Media Gateway
   Controller as command initiator in controlling Media Gateways as
   command responders.  The exceptions are the Notify and ServiceChange
   commands: Notify is sent from Media Gateway to Media Gateway
   Controller, and ServiceChange may be sent by either entity.  Below is
   an overview of the commands; they are explained in more detail in
   section 7.2.

   1. Add. The Add command adds a termination to a context.  The Add
      command on the first Termination in a Context is used to create a
      Context.

   2. Modify. The Modify command modifies the properties, events and
      signals of a termination.

   3. Subtract. The Subtract command disconnects a Termination from its
      Context and returns statistics on the Termination's participation
      in the Context.  The Subtract command on the last Termination in a
      Context deletes the Context.

   4. Move. The Move command atomically moves a Termination to another
      context.

   5. AuditValue. The AuditValue command returns the current state of
      properties, events,  signals and statistics of Terminations.

   6. AuditCapabilities. The AuditCapabilities command returns all the
      possible values for Termination properties, events and signals
      allowed by the Media Gateway.

   7. Notify. The Notify command allows the Media Gateway to inform the
      Media Gateway Controller of the occurrence of events in the Media
      Gateway.

   8. ServiceChange. The ServiceChange Command allows the Media Gateway
      to notify the Media Gateway Controller that a Termination or group
      of Terminations is about to be taken out of service or has just
      been returned to service.   ServiceChange is also used by the MG
      to announce its availability to an MGC (registration), and to
      notify the MGC of impending or completed restart of the MG. The
      MGC may announce a handover to the MG by sending it a
      ServiceChange command.  The MGC may also use ServiceChange to
      instruct the MG to take a Termination or group of Terminations in
      or out of service.

   These commands are detailed in sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.8

7.1 Descriptors

   The parameters to a command are termed Descriptors. A Descriptor
   consists of a name and a list of items. Some items may have values.
   Many Commands share common Descriptors.  This subsection enumerates
   these Descriptors.  Descriptors may be returned as output from a
   command.  In any such return of descriptor contents, an empty
   descriptor is represented by its name unaccompanied by any list.
   Parameters and parameter usage specific to a given Command type are
   described in the subsection that describes the Command.

7.1.1 Specifying Parameters

   Command parameters are structured into a number of descriptors. In
   general, the text format of descriptors is
   DescriptorName=<someID>{parm=value, parm=value_.}.

   Parameters may be fully specified, over-specified or under-specified:

   1. Fully specified parameters have a single, unambiguous value that
      the command initiator is instructing the command responder to use
      for the specified parameter.

   2. Under-specified parameters, using the CHOOSE value, allow the
      command responder to choose any value it can support.

   3. Over-specified parameters have a list of potential values.  The
      list order specifies the command initiator's order of preference
      of selection.  The command responder chooses one value from the
      offered list and returns that value to the command initiator.

   If a required descriptor other than the Audit descriptor is
   unspecified (i.e., entirely absent) from a command, the previous
   values set in that descriptor for that termination, if any, are
   retained.  A missing Audit descriptor is equivalent to an empty Audit
   Descriptor.  The behavior of the MG with respect to unspecified
   parameters within a descriptor varies with the descriptor concerned,
   as indicated in succeeding sections.  Whenever a parameter is
   underspecified or overspecified, the descriptor containing the value
   chosen by the responder is included as output from the command.

   Each command specifies the TerminationId the command operates on.
   This TerminationId may be "wildcarded".  When the TerminationId of a
   command is wildcarded, the effect shall be as if the command was
   repeated with each of the TerminationIds matched.

7.1.2 Modem Descriptor

   The Modem descriptor specifies the modem type and parameters, if any,
   required for use in e.g. H.324 and text conversation.  The descriptor
   includes the following modem types: V.18, V.22, V.22bis, V.32,
   V.32bis, V.34, V.90, V.91, Synchronous ISDN, and allows for
   extensions.  By default, no modem descriptor is present in a
   Termination.

7.1.3 Multiplex Descriptor

   In multimedia calls, a number of media streams are carried on a
   (possibly different) number of bearers.  The multiplex descriptor
   associates the media and the bearers. The descriptor includes the
   multiplex type:

   *  H.221
   *  H.223,
   *  H.226,
   *  V.76,
   *  Possible Extensions

   and a set of TerminationIDs representing the multiplexed inputs, in
   order.  For example:

       Mux = H.221{ MyT3/1/2, MyT3/2/13, MyT3/3/6, MyT3/21/22}

7.1.4 Media Descriptor

   The Media Descriptor specifies the parameters for all the media
   streams.  These parameters are structured into two descriptors, a
   Termination State Descriptor, which specifies the properties of a
   termination that are not stream dependent, and one or more Stream
   Descriptors each of which describes a single media stream.

   A stream is identified by a StreamID.  The StreamID is used to link
   the streams in a Context that belong together. Multiple streams
   exiting a termination shall be synchronized with each other.  Within
   the Stream Descriptor, there are up to three subsidiary descriptors,
   LocalControl, Local, and Remote. The relationship between these
   descriptors is thus:

   Media Descriptor
        TerminationStateDescriptor
        Stream Descriptor
                LocalControl Descriptor
                Local Descriptor
                Remote Descriptor

   As a convenience a LocalControl, Local, or Remote descriptor may be
   included in the Media Descriptor without an enclosing Stream
   descriptor.  In this case, the StreamID is assumed to be 1.

7.1.5 Termination State Descriptor

   The Termination State Descriptor contains the ServiceStates property,
   the EventBufferControl property and properties of a termination
   (defined in Packages) that are not stream specific.

   The ServiceStates property describes the overall state of the
   termination (not stream-specific).  A Termination can be in one of
   the following states: "test", "out of service", or "in service". The
   "test" state indicates that the termination is being tested. The
   state "out of service" indicates that the termination cannot be used

RFC 3015              Megaco Protocol Version 1.0          November 2000


   for traffic.  The state "in service" indicates that a termination can
   be used or is being used for normal traffic.  "in service" is the
   default state.

   Values assigned to Properties may be simple values
   (integer/string/enumeration) or may be underspecified, where more
   than one value is supplied and the MG may make a choice:

   *  Alternative Values: multiple values in a list, one of which must
      be selected
   *  Ranges: minimum and maximum values, any value between min and max
      must be selected, boundary values included
   *  Greater Than/Less Than: value must be greater/less than specified
      value
   *  CHOOSE Wildcard: the MG chooses from the allowed values for the
      property

   The EventBufferControl property  specifies whether events are
   buffered following detection of an event in the Events Descriptor, or
   processed immediately.  See section 7.1.9 for details.

7.1.6 Stream Descriptor

   A Stream descriptor specifies the parameters of a single bi-
   directional stream.  These parameters are structured into three
   descriptors: one that contains termination properties specific to a
   stream and one each for local and remote flows. The Stream Descriptor
   includes a StreamID which identifies the stream.  Streams are created
   by specifying a new StreamID on one of the terminations in a Context.
   A stream is deleted by setting empty Local and Remote descriptors for
   the stream with ReserveGroup and ReserveValue in LocalControl set to
   "false" on all terminations in the context that previously supported
   that stream.

   StreamIDs are of local significance between MGC and MG and they are
   assigned by the MGC.  Within a context, StreamID is a means by which
   to indicate which media flows are interconnected:  streams with the
   same StreamID are connected.

   If a termination is moved from one context to another, the effect on
   the context to which the termination is moved is the same as in the
   case that a new termination were added with the same StreamIDs as the
   moved termination.

7.1.7 LocalControl Descriptor

   The LocalControl Descriptor contains the Mode property, the
   ReserveGroup and ReserveValue properties and properties of a
   termination (defined in Packages) that are stream specific, and are
   of interest between the MG and the MGC.  Values of properties may be
   underspecified as in section 7.1.1.

   The allowed values for the mode property are send-only, receive-only,
   send/receive, inactive and loop-back.  "Send" and "receive" are with
   respect to the exterior of the context, so that, for example, a
   stream set to mode=sendonly does not pass received media into the
   context.  Signals and Events are not affected by mode.

   The boolean-valued Reserve properties, ReserveValue and ReserveGroup,
   of a Termination indicate what the MG is expected to do when it
   receives a  local and/or remote descriptor.

   If the value of a Reserve property is True, the MG SHALL reserve
   resources for all alternatives specified in the local and/or remote
   descriptors for which it currently has resources available.  It SHALL
   respond with the alternatives for which it reserves resources. If it
   cannot not support any of the alternatives, it SHALL respond with a
   reply to the MGC that contains empty local and/or remote descriptors.

   If the value of a Reserve property is False, the MG SHALL choose one
   of the alternatives specified in the local descriptor (if present)
   and one of the alternatives specified in the remote descriptor (if
   present).  If the MG has not yet reserved resources to support the
   selected alternative, it SHALL reserve the resources.  If, on the
   other hand, it
