H248 is not MGCP, it is Megaco. Both are gateway control protocols, MGCP is an IETF spefication and H.248 is from ITU. I don't thin Asterisk supports H.248 currently.

Hello:<br />
<br />
I am evaluationg to buy a line conentrator for POTS that registers each line using the H.248 or MEGACO protocol. I want to connect this using asterisk but I am not sure of the compatibility of this protocol. Can somebody confirm if asterisk will register H.248 clients. <br />

Thanks

Asterisk compatibility wiht H.248 (MEGACO)

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
