This document defines the protocol used between elements of a
physically decomposed multimedia gateway, i.e., a Media Gateway and a
Media Gateway Controller.  The protocol presented in this document
meets the requirements for a media gateway control protocol as
presented in RFC 2805.

This document replaces RFC 3015.  It is the result of
continued cooperation between the IETF Megaco Working Group and ITU-T
Study Group 16.  It incorporates the original text of RFC 3015,
modified by corrections and clarifications discussed on the Megaco

E-mail list and incorporated into the Study Group 16 Implementor's
Guide for Recommendation H.248.  The present version of this document
underwent  ITU-T Last Call as Recommendation H.248 Amendment 1.
Because of ITU-T renumbering, it was published by the ITU-T as
Recommendation H.248.1 (03/2002), Gateway Control Protocol Version 1.

Users of this specification are advised to consult the H.248
Sub-series Implementors' Guide at
http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com16/implgd for additional
corrections and clarifications.

This document is a product of the Media Gateway Control Working Group
of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
