7 Media Gateway Control Interface (MGCI)
MGCI functions provide for connection control, endpoint control, auditing, and status reporting. They each use the same system model and the same naming conventions.
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.1 Model and Naming Conventions
MGCP assumes a connection model where the basic constructs are endpoints and connections. Connections are grouped in calls. One or more connections can belong to one call. Connections and calls are set up at the initiative of one or several Media Gateway Controllers. It should be recognized that in none of these cases ...

103 161-13
7.1.2 Call Names
Calls are identified by unique identifiers, independent of the underlying platforms or agents. Call identifiers are hexadecimal strings, which are created by the Media Gateway Controller. Call identifiers with a maximum length of 32 characters must be supported. At a minimum, call identifiers must be unique within the ...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.1.3 Connection Names
Connection identifiers are created by the gateway when it is requested to create a connection. They identify the connection within the context of an endpoint. Connection identifiers are treated in MGCP as hexadecimal strings. The gateway must ensure that a proper waiting period, at least three minutes, elapses between ...

7.1.4 Names of Media Gateway Controllers and Other Entities
The Media Gateway Control Protocol has been designed for enhanced network reliability to allow implementation of redundant Media Gateway Controllers. This means that there is no fixed binding between entities and hardware platforms or network interfaces. Media Gateway Controller names consist of two parts, similar to e...

7.1.5 Digit Maps
In MGCP, the Media Gateway Controller can ask the gateway to collect digits dialled by a user. This facility is typically used by analogue access lines with residential gateways to collect the numbers that a user dials, or it can be used for CAS PBX interfaces. Rather than sending each digit to the Media Gateway Contro...

103 161-13
7.1.6 Events and Signals
The concept of events and signals is central to MGCP. A Media Gateway Controller may ask to be notified about certain events occurring in an endpoint, e.g. off-hook events. A Media Gateway Controller also may request certain signals to be applied to an endpoint, e.g. ringback. Events and signals are grouped in packages...

7.3 Gateway Control Functions
This clause describes the commands of the MGCP in the form of a remote procedure call (RPC) like API, which we will refer to as the media gateway control interface (MGCI). An MGCI function is defined for each MGCP command, where the MGCI function takes and returns the same parameters as the corresponding MGCP command. ...

7.3.1 NotificationRequest
The NotificationRequest command is used to request the gateway to send a notification upon the occurrence of specified events in an endpoint. For example, a notification may be requested when tones associated with fax communication are detected on the endpoint. The entity receiving this notification, usually the Media ...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.3.2 Notifications
Notifications are sent via the Notify command by the gateway when an observed event is to be notified: ReturnCode ← Notify(EndpointId [, NotifiedEntity] , RequestIdentifier , ObservedEvents) EndpointId is the name for the endpoint in the gateway, which is issuing the Notify command, as defined in clause 7.1.1.

7.3.8.2 AuditConnection
Auditing of individual connections on an endpoint can be achieved using the AuditConnection command. ReturnCode [, CallId] [, NotifiedEntity] [, LocalConnectionOptions] [, Mode] [, RemoteConnectionDescriptor] [, LocalConnectionDescriptor] [, ConnectionParameters] ← AuditConnection(EndpointId , ConnectionId [, Requested...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.3.9 Restart in Progress
The RestartInProgress command is used by the gateway to signal that an endpoint, or a group of endpoints, is taken out of service or is being placed back in service. ReturnCode [, NotifiedEntity] [, VersionSupported] ← RestartInProgress(EndpointId , RestartMethod [, RestartDelay]) The EndpointId identifies the endpoint...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4 States, Failover and Race Conditions
In order to implement proper call signalling, the Media Gateway Controller must keep track of the state of the endpoint, and the gateway must make sure that events are properly notified to the Media Gateway Controller. Special conditions may exist when the gateway or the Media Gateway Controller are restarted: the gate...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.1 Recaps and Highlights
As mentioned in clause 7.1.4, Media Gateway Controllers are identified by their domain name, and each endpoint has one, and only one, "notified entity" associated with it at any given point in time. In this clause the areas of special importance to reliability and failover in MGCP are recapped and highlighted: • A Medi...

103 161-13
7.4.2 Retransmission and Detection of Lost Associations
The MGCP protocol is organized as a set of transactions, each of which is composed of a command and a response. The MGCP messages, being carried over UDP, may be subject to losses. In the absence of a timely response (see clause 8.4.4), commands are repeated. Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers must keep in memory a...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3 Race Conditions
This clause describes how MGCP deals with race conditions. First of all, MGCP deals with race conditions through the notion of a "quarantine list" that quarantines events and through explicit detection of desynchronization, e.g. for mismatched seizure-state due to glare for an endpoint. Secondly, MGCP does not assume t...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.1 Quarantine list
MGCP controlled gateways will receive notification requests that ask them to watch for a list of events. The protocol elements that determine the handling of these events are the "Requested Events" list, and the "Detect Events" list. When the endpoint is initialized, the requested events list only consists of persisten...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.2 Explicit detection
A key element of the state of several endpoints is the seizure state of a circuit. Although seizure-state changing events are persistent in TGCP, race conditions and state mismatch may still occur, for example when a circuit is seized while the Media Gateway Controller is in the process of requesting the gateway to loo...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.3 Transactional Semantics
As the potential transaction completion times increases, e.g. due to external resource reservations, a careful definition of the transactional semantics becomes increasingly important. In particular the issue of race conditions, specifically as it relates to seizure-state must be defined carefully. ETSI ETSI TS 103 161...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.4 Ordering of commands and treatment of disorder
MGCP does not mandate that the underlying transport protocol guarantees the sequencing of commands sent to a gateway or an endpoint. This property tends to maximize the timeliness of actions, but it has a few drawbacks. For example: • Notify commands may be delayed and arrive to the Media Gateway Controller after the t...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.5 Fighting the restart avalanche
Suppose that a large number of gateways are powered on simultaneously. If they were to all initiate a RestartInProgress transaction, the Media Gateway Controller would very likely be swamped, leading to message losses and network congestion during the critical period of service restoration. In order to prevent such ava...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.6 Disconnected Endpoints
In addition to the restart procedure, trunking gateways also have a "disconnected" procedure, which is initiated when an endpoint becomes "disconnected" as described in clause 7.4.2. It should here be noted, that endpoints can only become disconnected when they attempt to communicate with the Media Gateway Controller. ...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.4.3.7 Call Agent Handling of Disconnected Endpoints
When an endpoint is in the "disconnected" state it may accumulate a large number of events in the quarantine buffer. Also, a "disconnected" endpoint may autonomously delete established connections (say the gateway reboots). Therefore, when connectivity between a "disconnected" endpoint and its Call Agent is subsequentl...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.5 Return Codes and Error Codes
All MGCP commands receive a response. The response carries a return code that indicates the status of the command. The return code is an integer number, for which five value ranges have been defined: • value 000 indicates a response acknowledgement, NOTE: Response acknowledgement is used for provisional responses (see ...
e24dc05fc9943606cbfab85caeca5aef
103 161-13
7.6 Reason Codes
Reason-codes are used by the gateway when deleting a connection to inform the Media Gateway Controller about the reason for deleting the connection. The reason code is an integer number. Table 4 below lists the values that have been defined for the reason code. Table 4: Reason Codes Code Meaning 900 Endpoint malfunctio...

7.7.3 LCO use when the FXR package is used without the VBD package
The FXR package enables fax calls to be supported in two different ways. The first one utilizes ITU-T Recommendation T.38 [24] using either UDPTL or TCP for fax relay under the control of the MGC. IPCablecom only supports UDPTL T38 and does not support TCP T38. The second way lets the gateway negotiate a method for fax...

7.7.3.1 fxr/fx:gw
This results in image/t38 via udptl t38 not being used on the call. Other ways that should not be used by the MGC to request the same behaviour if the VBD package is not being used are: • fxr/fx:off • no fxr/fx in the LCO (this provides the default of gw) or any fxr/fx format where off is first followed by one or more ...
