[[Toolpack]] now supports the H.248 protocol.


A version of [[Toolpack]] that supports the H.248 protocol is currently in development and is targeted for release in the first quarter of 2010. Further details will be provided at that time.
As indicated in the diagram below, the H.248 stack is a module in the media gateway application residing on the application server. It communicates with the various Toolpack classes (CAFClass, [[CMC library|CMC Library]], CMC Class) as required via a new [[CAF: Working With Call Legs|Media Leg API]]. In turn, the media gateway application communicates with the softswitch / media gateway controller via the H.248 protocol.

Revision as of 14:21, 30 March 2022

Also known as Megaco, H.248 is a protocol for controlling media gateways via a softswitch/Media Gateway Controller (MGC).


TelcoBridges and H.248

Toolpack now supports the H.248 protocol.

As indicated in the diagram below, the H.248 stack is a module in the media gateway application residing on the application server. It communicates with the various Toolpack classes (CAFClass, CMC Library, CMC Class) as required via a new Media Leg API. In turn, the media gateway application communicates with the softswitch / media gateway controller via the H.248 protocol.
