Multiple Gateway Control protocols exist today in different
stages of evolution necessitating selection of the right
protocol for current product definitions and an easy
migration path to support new protocols. Aricent
recognizes this challenge and offers solutions
to safeguard the investments being made today.
Aricent's offering for Media Gateway solutions is available
in different packages that provide flexibility to pick
the solution that best meets customer requirements.
A higher value solution is offered through the Media
Gateway (MG) Toolkit that hides the syntactic and semantic
details of protocol processing from the application.
A platform independent software building block, it provides
the complete protocol processing function for different
gateway control protocols and a generic interface to
all other Media Gateway functions. The generic interface
provides a simple mechanism to replace one gateway control
protocol by another in future. The time to market is
reduced for the application, which just needs to focus
on the application profile and the implementation of
platform interfaces.
Aricent's Media Gateway Toolkit
The Media Gateway Toolkit consists of two components:
- Protocol Stack
- Protocol Processing Component
Both these components are closely tied with the protocol
definition and separate implementations are provided
for MEGACO and MGCP. However, the interfaces of these
components with the other modules in a media gateway
are shared. This enables one toolkit to be replaced
by another without any significant change in the application.
