In addition, the managed IP network provides long-haul IP connectivity between the other managed IP and cable modem HFC networks. An embedded client is a network element that provides two or more traditional analog access lines to a VoIP network, or possibly one or more video lines to a VoIP network. The call agents will synchronize with each other to send coherent comments to the gateways under their control. The MGCP defined in this particular document does not define a mechanism for synchronizing call agents, however, although future IP CablePhone specifications may specify such mechanisms. In particular, it specifies a comprehensive mechanism to enable a client device to request a specific QoS from the cable modem network.
Extensive examples illustrate the use of the specification.
The scope of this specification is to define the QoS architecture for the access portion of the Packet-Cable network. Read messages Ted Woo is director of standards for the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers. All rights reserved.
