[cisco-voip] MGCP vs H323?

[Wydra, Jason]

I think it really comes down to CallManager not being able to take full
advantage of the gateway IOS capabilities when using MGCP. I think Cisco
is doing a good job of maturing the protocol, but...... at this point,
complex installations usually need H323. Just my 2 cents...

All I can say is that MGCP is almost moron proof (no offense) for simply
installations. But H323 on the other hand lends to much more
flexibility/features, which also lends to more complex configurations
and know how.

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_g
uide09186a0080565f8a.html gets you close to the documentation you
request.

 

Ray.

	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?
