Media Gateway Control Protocol Fax Package
RFC 5347, “Media Gateway Control Protocol Fax Package”, is an Informational document published in October 2008 by F. Andreasen, D. Hancock. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) package to support fax calls. The package allows for fax calls to be supported in two different ways. The first one utilizes ITU-T Recommendation T.38 for fax relay under the control of the Call Agent. The second one lets the gateway decide upon a method for fax transmission as well as handle the details of the fax call without Call Agent involvement. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
