Supported Protocols
Using Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(5), three types of gateway protocols are
supported:
• Skinny Gateway Protocol—used by the digital gateways, including the
Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway DT-24+ and DE-30+, as well as the
Cisco Catalyst 6000 Voice Gateway module.
• Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)—used by Cisco CallManager to
control the new Cisco Voice Gateway 200 (VG200) standalone analog
gateway.
• H.323—used by the Cisco IOS integrated router gateways to communicate
with Cisco CallManager.
Of these three types, only the Cisco IOS H.323 gateways can today provide
full-featured routing capabilities as well as VoIP gateway functions. Both the
gateways based on the Skinny Gateway Protocol and the VG200 MGCP gateway
act as standalone, application-specific gateways.
Table 4-1 shows which protocols are supported on each gateway. The following
sections discuss how each of these protocols provides support for the three core
gateway features.
