7 Failure/Recovery Scenarios
Certain failure scenarios also result in the triggering of H.248 signalling. The present document defines the following set of such scenarios: • Nodal failure and recovery of a MG/MGC. This can be due to hardware or software faults. • Termination failure and recovery. Examples of this are termination failure/recovery o...
