Media Gateway Control Protocol Lockstep State Reporting Mechanism

Overview

RFC 3992, “Media Gateway Control Protocol Lockstep State Reporting Mechanism”, is an Informational document published in February 2005 by B. Foster, F. Andreasen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

A Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) endpoint that has encountered an adverse failure condition (such as being involved in a transient call when a Call Agent failover occurred) could be left in a lockstep state whereby events are quarantined but not notified. The MGCP package described in this document provides a mechanism for reporting these situations so that the new Call Agent can take the necessary fault recovery procedures. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
