Peering thru the fog..... New standards, such as MGCP, are aimed at moving network intelligence into databases that drive these switched gateway platforms. This concept of a physical gateway communicating over an open API to a database for instructions is what programmable switches were designed to do more than a decade ago. Hundreds of enhanced service developers have already built applications leveraging this architecture. However, while the market hype would have us believe that the traditional PSTN and all its associated network and customer premises equipment is going away, it's not. For the foreseeable future, there will be a need for a service provider to communicate in both the PSTN and PSDN worlds. What is needed is the ability to support these and other technologies on a single platform. While MGCP may be a good design for transporting IP-based voice calls, H.323 is envisioned to be to the long-term link to the client. NetSpeak and Telogy developed the two components that comprise the SGCP/MGCP protocol software. Telogy developed the SGCP/MGCP client signaling software for the residential gateway, and NetSpeak developed the call agent technology.
