H323 or MGCP

[midodido84]

Dear all,

kindly i need to know what is recommended protocol to be used in an enterprise network structure

H323 or MGCP & what are the advantages of each.

[paolo bevilacqua]

H.323 gives you full flexibility and features.

MGCP was supposed to simplify things, but turned into something often unstable with too many obscure commands and feature limitations.

Others can tell you otherwise, but these are simple facts.

Hi Mohaned,

Just to add a touch to the great ideas from my friend Paolo (+5 points here buddy!)

The Pros/Cons of each protocol are discussed in this excellent Tech Note;

MGCP and H.323 Voice Gateway Protocol Comparison

Hope this helps!
