IP Protocols H.323, SIP, MGCP, Megaco/H.248

H.323
IP communications protocol for real-time voice and video over IP. Includes core protocol and gatekeeper toolkits. International Telecommunications Union (ITU) recommendation for audio, video, and data communications across IP-based networks.

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)


Signaling protocol for establishing real-time calls and conferences over IP networks. SIP is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) Protocol.

MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol)


A complementary IETF protocol to H.323 and SIP Defines the communication procedures for a Media Gateway Controller to provide instructions and to gather information from Media Gateways

Megaco/H.248 (Media Gateway Control)


Similar to MGCP, jointly defined by the IETF and ITU-T SG-16 Gradually replacing MGCP Megaco renamed GCP (Gateway Control Protocol) -- RFC 3525

RTP / RTCP

Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP)


Provides end-to-end delivery services of real-time Audio (G.711, G.723.1, G.728, etc.) and Video (H.261, H.263), Data is transported via the user datagram protocol (UDP). RTP provides payload-type identification, sequence numbering, time stamping, and delivery monitoring. UDP provides multiplexing and checksum services. RTP can be used with other transport protocols.

Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP)


Counterpart of RTP that provides control services Primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on the quality of the data distribution RTCP-XR Carries transport-level identifier for an RTP source
Used by receivers to synchronize audio and video.
