Media Gateway Control Protocol Return Code Usage

Overview

RFC 3661, “Media Gateway Control Protocol Return Code Usage”, is an Informational document published in December 2003 by B. Foster, C. Sivachelvan. It updates RFC 3435. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document provides implementation guidelines for the use of return codes in RFC 3435, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) Version 1.0. Return codes in RFC 3435 do not cover all possible specific situations that may ever occur in a gateway. That is not possible and not necessary. What is important is to ensure that the Call Agent that receives a return code behaves appropriately and consistently for the given situation. The purpose of this document is to provide implementation guidelines to ensure that consistency.
