[cisco-voip] MGCP vs H323?

[Ray Burkholder]

Over satellite links, I'm told that MGCP has faster call setup.  When one
has to do down and dirty call troubleshooting, I'm told that H.323 is an
absolute winner.  Well perhaps, I can say from first hand experience.    And
with H.323, gateway diagnostics are much better, when you get into a bind.
I've got a few tools at http://www.oneunified.net/blog/Cisco/index.blog that
are based upon the H.323 experience.  And based upon a few tricks of the
peer-mask trade, I much prefer the H.323 route when configuring voice
gateways.
 
Yes, I'm biased.  I look forward to hearing from those that are MGCP biased.

 
Probably
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/ps6441/prod_configuration_guide

Anyone have any pointers to a Cisco document that explain the difference
between MGCP and H323? Namely, what features are available with one or the
other?
