5.11 Messages
It is recommended that MG and MGC names are in the form of fully qualified domain name. For example the domain name of the MGC may be of the form mgc1.whatever.net and the name of the MG may be of the form mg1.whatever.net. The fully qualified domain name will be used by the MG and MGC as part of the "Message Identifier" (MID) in the H.248 messages which identifies the originator of the message. The MGC domain name is provisioned in the MG or retrieved from the DNS using SRV records. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 25 The use of a domain name provides the following benefits: • MGs and MGCs are identified by their domain name, not their network addresses. Several addresses can be associated with a domain name. If a command cannot be forwarded to one of the network addresses, implementations shall retry the transmission using another address. • MGs and MGCs may move to another platform. The association between a logical name (domain name) and the actual platform are kept in the Domain Name Service (DNS). MG and MGC shall keep track of the record's time-to-live read from the DNS. They shall query the DNS to refresh the information if the time-to-live has expired. • The domain name may be used by MGC/MG for authentication purposes. • Can assist in trouble shooting.

5.12 Transport
Table 55 Supported transports: Transport over UDP shall be supported. Support of SCTP is optional and shall conform to ITU-T Rec. H.248.4 [17]. Choosing one option or the other is a network operator's decision, based on the network configuration. For UDP transport the destination IP addresses to be used for delivering the H.248 messages are retrieved through the following means: • The MGC will store the source IP address retrieved from the message carrying first ServiceChange command. All subsequent messages delivered to the MG will use this IP address. • The MG will store the source IP address retrieved from the message carrying the reply to the ServiceChange command. All subsequent messages delivered to the MGC will use this IP address. NOTE: The MG will use the DNS lookup in order to retrieve the initial IP address to send the first ServiceChange command. This IP address may be different than the IP address returned in the reply to ServiceChange command.

5.13 Security
Table 57 Supported security: For the purpose of the present document the control protocols are considered to be inside the secured zone of a single operator as shown in figure 1. The specified H.248 security options should not be used, as these interfaces are considered to be within a secured zone. In clause 7 of the present document protocols other than H.248 are specified and the security issues are dealt with here. No security measures, either IPsec or TLS, shall be used on the IUA and V5UA interfaces since they too are considered to be within a secured zone. Finally no countermeasures shall be applied to the GRE interface carrying packet data. It is important to note that the context of this clause, and the recommendations in it, only apply to the case where the interfaces, H.248, IUA, V5UA and GRE specified by the present document all fall within the secure zone shown in figure 1. In any other case a different risk may apply and appropriate countermeasures may be needed. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 26

In the second case, MGs shall fill this field with a unicast IP address at which they will receive the media stream. Thus a TTL value shall not be present and a "number of addresses" value shall not be present. The field shall not be filled with a fully-qualified domain name instead of an IP address. When the <connection address> is wildcarded (i.e. choose wildcard) by the MGC, the MG allocates an IP address based on the address type.

Media GateWays (MGWs) shall discard packets with RTP Payload Types (PT) that do not match the Local Descriptor contents. NOTE 1: Besides an incorrect RTP PT field might be also other reasons for discarding packets (invalid SSRC field, invalid CRC, etc.). NOTE 2: The MG has the option to collate statistics on discarded packets. When sending packets from a termination, Media GateWays (MGWs) shall use the address and port in the Local Descriptor as a source address and port.

6.2 Voiceband Data (VBD)
dde9e2552d661348f67d747426d8c5c3
183 002
6.2.1 General
Voiceband data refers to traffic from facsimile/modem, data/modem or text/modem telephony applications. NOTE 1: The term "fax/modem" denotes traffic from so called Group 3 Fax Equipment (G3FE), which uses a suite of modem protocols for transport of image data and T.30/T.4 control data. There are also modem-less fax terminals like G4FE types ("ISDN fax"), using ITU-T I.231.1 as bearer service in the ISDN domain and RFC 4040 as bearer service emulation in the IP domain. Upon detection of voiceband data traffic, the Media GateWay (MGW) shall autonomously switch from Audio mode to VBD mode with G.711 codec (as V.152 VBD codec) if the H.248 Remote Descriptor indicates that ITU-T Recommendation G.711 [27] is supported by the peer entity. The VBD codec can be derived at start of the audio call by one of the following methods: • the corresponding signalled ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32] SDP elements; or • if V.152 SDP elements are not signalled (in case of v1/v2 ARGWs), derived from the Remote Descriptor carrying G.711 codec (with RTP payload type 0 or 8); or • if V.152 SDP elements are not used and the Remote Descriptor does not carry G.711 codec, known because this profile defines G.711 with RTP payload type '8' as default VBD codec. The default VBD codec can be overwritten through management plane (e.g. changing from G.711 PT = 8 to G.711 PT = 0): - This behaviour shall be only applied for PES scenarios, i.e. PSTN-to-PES-to-PSTN (which includes PSTN-to-IMS-to-PSTN) network configurations. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 60 - This behaviour shall be not applied if any of the following scenarios are true: When the ARGW is directly peering an IMS user equipment, i.e. a PSTN-to-IMS or IMS-to-PSTN scenario (because an IMS end point may have no use for VBD at all and may not demand G.711 as a voice codec). The MGC is not able to discriminate whether the incoming call is from an IMS UE or going via a remote PSTN gateway, e.g. due to number portability; Multiple network domains are interconnected via border gateways. For scenarios where the VBD codec cannot be derived as described above at the start of an audio call, the MGC should apply MGC controlled VBD transitioning by means of: • subscribe for VBD event detection via H.248.2 event subscription as described in clause 6.2.4; • upon receiving notification of a VBD stimuli event, the MGC should modify the MG connection to swap over to G.711 codec as described in clause 6.2.4. MGC controlled VBD transitioning shall not be applied for PES scenarios, i.e. PSTN to PES to PSTN. When the PES domain shall support T.38 FoIP in addition to V.152, then the MGC may request T.38 support by subscription to a facsimile specific VBD event (like e.g. CNG, V.21 flags). NOTE 2: This means that ITU-T Recommendation G.711 [27] may be used for audio mode and is used for the VBD mode. Using PCMA (or PCMU) for VBD mode but not for audio (e.g. because G.729 is used for voice) allows the usage of the static RTP PT value for the VBD codec. Using PCMA (or PCMU) for audio and VBD mode implies a dynamic RTP PT value for the VBD codec in order to be able in discriminating RTP packets for each mode. NOTE 3: If G.711 is not present in the H.248 Remote Descriptor and the ARGW does not support a default VBD codec via the management plane, the connection is modified under MGC control to include the G.711 codec - see clause 6.2.4. Transitioning between Audio mode and VBD mode is possible in both directions. The procedures for transitioning between these two operation modes are described in clause 10 of ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]. Any state transition requires the detection of a "VBD stimuli" (see clause 9 of ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]). The relevant stimuli for this H.248 Profile are summarized in table 92. Autonomous state transitioning means that the MGC is not controlling the operation mode changes in the MG. The MG is detecting potential trigger events and deciding itself state transitioning according to ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32] rules. The MG autonomous mode does not preclude a notification of the MGC by the MG. The VBD mode of operation shall be implemented as defined in ITU- T Recommendation V.152 [32], which involves: • disabling Voice Activity Detection and Comfort Noise Generation if any of these had been activated; • ensuring end-to-end constant latency; • ensuring that voice packet loss concealment techniques and algorithms that may be employed are suitable for modem and facsimile modulations; and • disabling any DC removal filters that may be integral with the speech encoder used. The use of echo cancellers shall be as per ITU-T Recommendation G.168 [41]. No explicit negotiation of the VBD mode is required, beyond the support of ITU-T Recommendation G.711 [27], in case of provisioned RTP PT values, in all V.152 gateways of the IP network, for the VBD codec. ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32] procedures are applied when provisioning is not supported or done. Voiceband data traffic shall be detected by monitoring the VBD stimuli according clause 9 of ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32] and the tones described in table 92. NOTE 4: There is some overlapping between both event lists.

Payload transitions may be notified to the MGC using the Payload Transition event defined in the RTP package (rtp/pltrans, see clause E.12.2.1/H.248.1). The Media GateWays (MGWs) may also report the above to the MGC using the Discrimination tone event in the Call Type Discrimination package. Automatic switch over to VBD mode does not preclude the gateways from negotiating support of other mechanisms such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) (e.g. RFC 2733 [42]) or other forms of Redundancy (e.g. RFC 2198 [43]). Media GateWays (MGWs) may also support relay mode for fax and modem, based on the procedures described in ITU-T Recommendations T.38 [30] and V.150.1 [31]. Autonomous switch over to such payload types shall only occur if successfully negotiated with the remote side.

6.2.2 Interworking between V.152-compliant GWs
A ARGW implementation according to this profile version provides a V.152-compliant GW function (see clause 6.2.1). For a connection between two such GWs, the media capability and bearer capability negotiation procedures are defined by ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]. As stated in ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32], VBD may be handled in either assured or non-assured mode. The distinction between these modes is defined by the mandatory capabilities of V.152, i.e. with/without RTP transport redundancy (according RFC 2198 [43]) and forward error correction of RTP packets (according to RFC 5109 [65]) for assured/non-assured mode. In TISPAN networks, it is expected that the non-assured VBD mode should be sufficient. In either mode, modem signals may either be transported with/without RTP payload format for telephony events (according to RFC 4733 [37] and RFC 4734 [66]).

6.2.3 Interworking between V.152-compliant and non-V.152 GWs
This clause describes the inter-working between V.152 compliant and non-V152 compliant ARGWs. The essential difference between these ARGWs is in their support of a separate dynamic RTP payload for VBD handling (as described in ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]). All other aspects of VBD handling (e.g. silence suppression, echo control, jitter buffer freezing etc.) are common between V.152 compliant and non-V152 compliant ARGWs. The following clauses deal with inter-working between a V.152 compliant and non-V152 compliant ARGW and vice-versa. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 62 6.2.3.1 Call/Session Originating on non-V.152 Compliant ARGW and Terminating on a V.152 Compliant ARGW The following steps are carried out on the H.248 interface: 1) The MGC requests a LD from the originating non-V.152 compliant ARGW. The LD passed to the ARGW in the H.248 Command contains payload type 8 (A-law) and MAY also contain a dynamic payload type for VBD, as described in ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]. The ARGW returns a LD to the MGC containing payload 8. 2) The MGC requests the terminating V.152 compliant ARGW to create an ephemeral termination and passes down a LD containing payload 8 and optionally a dynamic payload for VBD (in line with V.152). Note that the dynamic payload may be omitted based on the fact that it is absent from the in-hand RD (which is also passed down to the terminating ARGW). In either case, the terminating ARGW shall return only payload 8 (i.e. even if the MGC requests a separate dynamic payload for VBD, there is no point in allocating the additional payload due to its absence in the in-hand RD). 3) The MGC passes the RD down to the originating ARGW. The result of this negotiation is that payload 8 has been agreed for the connection between the ARGWs. On detection of VBD stimuli, both ARGWs will transition into VBD mode but the same payload number (8) shall be used for both VBD and audio. This is illustrated in the example below: ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 63 Table 92a: Example H.248 Stream Descriptor - Originating ARGW (non V.152-compliant) side: step 1 H.248 encoding (shortened command) Comments 1) Request (MGC to MG): MEGACO/2 [11.9.19.65] … Add = al/3/2/78 { ; Analog Line Termination Media { Stream = 1 { LocalControl{ tdmc/gain=7, ; in dB tdmc/ec=on ; in dB }, … } Add = ephemeral/2/3/$ { ; Ephemeral Termination Media { Stream = 1 { LocalControl{ Mode=SendReceive, ReservedGroup = OFF, ReservedValue = OFF ; because just a single }, ; audio codec Local{ v=0 c=IN IP4 $ m=audio $ RTP/AVP 8 101 111 a=maxmptime:20 - 30 a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000 ; RFC 4733/4 a=rtpmap:111 PCMA/8000 ; ITU-T V.152 a=gpmd:111 vbd=yes } }}} Physical termination: The MGC enforces gain control and enables EC on the physical termination.

The Reserve property values are false due to single group and single "media format" for Stream 1 (see note). Local Descriptor: The MGC selects RTP PT equals to 111 for the VBD codec due to MGC provisioning. Ditto for RFC 4733 [37] and RFC 4734 [66] codec. The maxptime attribute is used in this example due to different packetization times in each state.

As the originating MG is not supporting V.152, it removes all related V.152 SDP from the local descriptor. Furthermore as the originating MG doesn't support RFC 4733 [37] and RFC 4734 [66] the corresponding lines are removed from the replied LD as well. Physical termination: When being in the VBD state, the MG is thus "ignoring" the requested gain control and echo control settings. E.g. the MG must autonomously enable/disable EC according G.168/V.152 concerning modem protocol handling. VBD: The MG must emulate a VBD behaviour according clause 6/V.152, i.e. shall disable (if required) the adaptive jitter buffer behaviour, disable voice activity detection, disable CNG and disable DC removal filters.

Conclusion by MG: peer node is neither supporting RFC 4733 [37] and RFC 4734 [66] nor V.152. LD doesn't need to be updated. 6.2.3.2 Call/Session Originating on V.152 Compliant ARGW and Terminating on a non-V.152 Compliant ARGW The following steps are carried out on the H.248 interface: 1) The MGC requests a LD from the originating V.152 compliant ARGW. The LD passed to the ARGW in the H.248 Command contains both payload type 8 (A-law) and also a dynamic payload type for VBD, as described in ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]. The V3 ARGW returns a LD to the MGC containing both payload 8 and the dynamic VBD payload. 2) The MGC requests the terminating non-V.152 complaint ARGW to create an ephemeral termination and passes down a LD containing payload 8 and a dynamic payload for VBD (in line with V.152). The RD (containing the originating ARGW SDP) is also passed down to the terminating ARGW. The terminating ARGW returns only payload 8 in the returned LD to the MGC since it did not understand the V.152 related SDP. 3) The MGC passes the terminating ARGW SDP as the RD to the originating ARGW. The originating ARGW notes that there is no dynamic VBD codec in the RD. The originating ARGW may return a modified LD in the command response to the MGC (i.e. having removed the dynamic V.152 payload).

6.2.4 VBD Transition - Change to G.711 Codec under MGC Control
This clause describes the transition from audio to VBD mode at a ARGW when the G.711 codec is not present n the H.248 Remote Descriptor and the current call scenario does not allow the use of a default VBD codec defined via the management plane (see clause 6.2.1). It is expected that this situation would occur for calls/sessions originating in a non-TISPAN network and terminating on a ARGW. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that, for calls/sessions originating on a TISPAN compliant ARGW, the G.711 codec always be initially present in the Local Descriptor of the originating ARGW and conveyed to the far end media end point. Note that this behaviour implies that property ReserveValue is equal to ON. Upon detection of VBD triggering event, the Media GateWay (MGW) shall report the detected event to the MGC (i.e. it is assumed that that the MGC had previously armed the ctyp/dtone event (see clause 5.14.2.22). In addition, the Media GateWay (MGW) may optionally freeze its jitter buffer, disable silence suppression and comfort noise generation and modify its echo canceller as per ITU-T Recommendation G.168 [41] prior to the VBD codec negotiation. On being informed of the ctyp/dtone event, the MGC shall modify the MG connection to swap over to the G.711 codec via the following steps on the H.248 interface: 1) The MGC requests the ARGW to modify its LD to include the G.711 codec. The LD passed to the ARGW in the H.248 Command shall contain RTP payload type 8 (A-law), may contain payload type 0 (Mu-law) and shall also contain the current/existing compressing audio codec. For a V3 ARGW, the MGC shall also include the V.152 media attribute line to indicate that the G.711 codec is a VBD codec. For a V2 ARGW, the MGC may include the V.152 media attribute line to indicate that the G.711 codec is a VBD codec. The inclusion of payload type 0 shall be a network option (optionally inclusive of the VBD media attribute line as in the case of payload type 8). ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 69 The ARGW returns a LD to the MGC containing RTP payload type '8', the existing compressing codec and optionally payload type '0' (if requested by MGC). The VBD media attribute shall be returned from a V3 ARGW and may be returned from a V2 ARGW. 2) The MGC passes the modified LD to the far end media endpoint (e.g. via a new SDP OFFER/ANSWER exchange via a SIP RE-INVITE / UDPDATE). The MGC may choose to omit the previously negotiated audio codec at this point. 3) The MGC receives modified SDP (containing the G.711 codec (optionally with the VBD media attribute) and optionally the previously negotiated audio codec from the far end media end point (e.g. in a SDP ANSWER) and passes the required SDP media description to the ARGW as a new Remote Descriptor. If the SDP ANSWER does not contain the previously negotiated audio codec, then the LD is also changed to include only G.711. The result of this negotiation is that the media connection has been modified to use the G.711 codec as VBD codec. At this point, the MG has transitioned into VBD mode (as described in clause 6 of ITU-T Recommendation V.152 [32]). This sequence is illustrated in table 92g. Note that if G.711 is not contained in the SDP ANSWER, then the MGC shall initiate appropriate exception handling (e.g. apply an announcement and/or release the call). Such exception handling is out of scope of this profile. Table 92g: Example H.248 Stream Descriptor - Terminating ARGW H.248 encoding (shortened command) Comments Initial Conditions: Assume that the ARGW has in in-hand LD & RD containing a common compressing codec (e.g. G.729), and that the physical termination has been armed to notify the MGC of detection of fax / modem tones. 1) Notification (MG to MGC): MEGACO/2 [11.9.19.65]… … Notify = al/3/2/78 { ; Analog Line Events=1234{ctype/dtone{dtt=ANS} } } The MG detects a modem answer tone on its physical termination and notifies the MGC via the ctyp/dtone event. 2) Reply (MGC to MG): MEGACO/2 [11.9.19.65] … Notify = al/3/2/78 } The MGC acknowledges the notification.

The MGC requests the MG to modify the ephemeral termination with a new RD. The LD is also modified to dispense with the compressing audio codec. 5) Reply (MG to MGC): MEGACO/2 [11.9.19.65] … Modify = ephemeral/2/3/1 { ; Ephemeral Termination Media { Stream = 1 { LocalControl{…}, Local{ v=0 o=- 0 0 IN IP4 blabla.domain s=H.248 Context t=0 0 c=IN IP4 11.9.20.01 m=audio 33906 RTP/AVP 8 a=gpmd:vbd=yes }, Remote{ ; returning the RD is optional v=0 o=- 0 0 IN IP4 another.domain s=H.248 Context t=0 0 c=IN IP4 19.70.3.2 m=audio 44038 RTP/AVP 8 } }}} The MG modifies its LD and RD and replies to the MGC.

If a codec has built-in support for silence suppression and comfort noise insertion, the activation or deactivation of these features shall be indicated using the a= line according to RFC 3551 [35] and RFC 4855 [40]. If the selected codec does not have built in support for silence suppression and comfort noise (CN) insertion, the CN payload code (see RFC 3389 [51]) may be included in the media description. EXAMPLE: (for ITU-T Recommendation G.711 [27]): v= 0 c= IN <address type> <connection address> m= audio <port number> RTP/AVP 0 13 a= ptime: 10 If the CN payload is included in the Local Descriptor, the MG shall be prepared to receive CN packets during silence periods. If the CN payload is included in the Remote Descriptor, the MG shall send CN packets during silence periods. Comfort noise analysis, voice activity detection and discontinuous transmission algorithms are outside the scope of the present document.

6.5 DTMF transmission
When a G.711 codec is used (see ITU-T Recommendation G.711 [27]), Media GateWays (MGWs) shall be able to generate, detect and forward DTMF tones inband. When other codecs are used, the MGC should request the use of the procedures defined in RFC 4733 [37] to send and receive DTMF tones: • If the Local Descriptor sent by the MGC includes the support for RFC 4733 [37], Media GateWays (MGWs) shall be prepared to receive DTMF tones in the form of named events and relay the appropriate audio signal to the physical terminations. • If the Remote Descriptor indicates that RFC 4733 [37] is supported, Media GateWays (MGWs) shall be prepared to relay in the form of named events, any DTMF tone received from the physical terminations. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 72 A Dynamic Payload type shall be used to indicate support of RFC 4733 [37] for DTMF relay. EXAMPLE: v= 0 c= IN <address type> <connection address> m= audio <port number> RTP/AVP 18 110 a= ptime: 10 a= rtpmap: 110 telephone-event/8000 a= fmtp: 110 0-15

6.8 MG-Internal redirection of RTP traffic
There might be situations where both RTP session endpoints will be located in the same media gateway (e.g. for a local call). This is related to the case where the two corresponding H.248 RTP terminations, of a single RTP session, belong to two different H.248 Contexts. If RTP traffic turnaround is not supported by the edge routers, it is recommended that the MG try to redirect internally the corresponding RTP/RTCP bearer traffic. This function is related to routing and forwarding of IP packet traffic. The function is therefore also known as MG-embedded IP Router function (figure 2).

This may be done in a very early stage, i.e. already during call/bearer establishment phase, or in a later stage during active call phase. 6.9 Residential Media Gateway (RMG) - Keep pinhole open mechanisms for signalling and media traffic in IP domain due to NAT Traversal support

6.9.1 Problem statement in general
This profile supports residential and access gateways (clause 4.1). The physical MG would be located as Residential Media Gateway (RMG) on customer premises, or as an Access Media Gateway (AMG) on public network side (see figure 1). The media traffic (e.g. RTP-over-IP) and signalling traffic (H.248-over-IP) is transported by the IP network and may face network address translators ("NAT devices"). Any NAT device is separating an IP network in two or more IP address realms (briefly "realm"). There are following network configurations (from H.248 perspective): 1) MG and MGC located in the same IP realm; and - MG and peer IP bearer node located in the same IP realm; or - MG and peer IP bearer node located in the different IP realms; or 2) MG and MGC located in different IP realms; and - MG and peer IP bearer node located in the same IP realm; or - MG and peer IP bearer node located in the different IP realms. Traversal of a NAT device, - so called NAT Traversal support function -, may be thus needed in the IP-based bearer plane and/or IP-based control plane. This clause focuses on the different realms scenarios. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 74

6.9.2 Problem statement for multiple IP realm network configurations
The different realm configuration is the general case for RGW deployments. Figure 3 illustrates a more detailed network model with a NAT/FW device located at the border between customer network and public network. The RMG is on customer side located, the controlling RMGC is located in the public network. The NAT function is leading to two IP realms (internal and external; or private and public). H.248 signalling is consequently going through the same NAT/FW device as the media traffic. The peering node of the RMG in the transport stratum might be likely a Border Gateway Function (BGF) or possibly other H.248 MG types (like e.g. a RMG, an AMG, TMGW, MRFP), a SIP UA, H.323 terminal, etc. H.248 Residential Media Gateway (RMG) PSTN/ISDN Phy Internal IP network External IP network NAT/FW Residential Media Gateway Controller (RMGC) H.248 Media Gateway (MG) H.248 RAGW Profile H.248 Profile IP Bearer connection (e.g. RTP) Gateway control (H.248) „Media Pinhole“ „Signalling Pinhole“ a) H.248 gateway control traffic b) PSTN call control signalling via H.248 c) ISDN call control signalling via IUA/SCTP/IP Figure 3: Network model - H.248 RMG and RMGC located in different IP realms (The peer IP bearer node might be an H.248 MG as indicated in this example.) There will be two pinholes, which may require keep pinhole open mechanisms (see clause 6.9.3) as NAT Traversal support function. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 75 6.9.3 Possible NAT Traversal support functions when MG and MGC located in different IP realms Figure 4 indicates possible solutions for each pinhole. The signalling pinhole related keep open mechanism is particularly required during the active call phase (i.e. between context creation and release phases). The media pinhole related keep open mechanism may be required in the call/bearer establishment phase, or e.g. in case of suppressed media traffic (e.g. muted microphone).

However in some network architectures there may be an intermediate NAT/s placed between the RGW and the BGF. The address latching function supported by BGF for hosted NAT traversal requires that a BGF receives a RTP packet from the RGW to set the NAT binding. A RGW cannot receive media RTP packets as long as it has not sent at least one RTP packet to create a pinhole through any intermediate NATs. In order to create a pinhole and maintain a NAT binding, the MGC should request the RGW to transmit an RTP keep-alive packet. This is achieved via the H.248.50 "kar" package. If requested to send a keep alive the RGW shall follow the procedures of H.248.50 [i.4], section 9.2.6. The kar package is required for RGW but not necessary for AGW.

7.1.2 DTMF detection
When a series of digit maps is used during called party's number dialling, it is recommended that the values of the timers defined in ITU-T Recommendation H.248.1 [15] be set in such a way that the T timer of the subsequent digit maps be set the same value than the L timer.

7.1.3 Sending of tones
Signals shall be sent to the exterior of the gateway, according to the following principles: • When sending a tone to the calling party from the originating MG, the signal shall be applied to the physical termination. • When sending a tone to the calling party from the terminating MG, the signal shall be applied to the ephemeral termination. • When sending a tone to the called party from the terminating MG, the signal shall be applied to the physical termination. • When sending a tone to the called party from the originating MG, the signal shall be applied to the ephemeral termination. Table 93 summarizes where usual tones are generated.

In an originating MG, the context topology and the termination modes shall be configured in such a way that in-band information can be received from the remote side before the called party's answer. This setting shall occur not later than the receipt of the ACO message (or an equivalent message from another signalling protocol that ISUP). ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 77

7.1.4 Sending of announcements
Residential Gateways are not required to store recorded announcements nor to support the generic announcement package. Access Gateways may be able to store recorded announcements and shall support the generic announcement package. However, Access Gateways are not required to support variable announcements. When the announcement to be delivered is not available in the gateway and cannot be autonomously retrieved by the gateway from a remote repository, the MGC shall initiate a connection to an external announcement machine, by temporarily adding a termination into the context. Instructions to play announcements are sent directly from the MGC to the server. The announcement server may itself be implemented as an MG, controlled using the H.248 protocol. However, this interface is outside the scope of the present document. In an originating MG, the context topology and the termination modes shall be configured in such a way that in-band information can be received from the remote side before the called party's answer. This setting shall occur not later than the receipt of the ACO message (or an equivalent message from another signalling protocol that ISUP).

7.1.5 Support of emergency calls
The MGC is responsible for detecting emergency calls and setting the Emergency Call context property when creating the associated context. Prior to the context being created the MG makes no assumption on the priority of the events that take place. The priority context property shall not be used for emergency calls.

7.1.6 Echo control
Physical terminations are required to support echo cancellation. Echo cancellation is automatically activated on physical terminations by the MG and may be deactivated using the TDM Circuit package (see note 1). NOTE 1: H.248 TDM Circuit Package Version 1 (see ITU-T Recommendation H.248.1 [15], annex E.13) is providing the basic control capabilities for ECDs in H.248 MGs. The SPNE Control Package (see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.0 [44], clause 7.2) is extending the tdmc Version 1 package by further ECD control possibilities. The SPNE Control Package is not required and is beyond the scope of this version of the profile. Deactivation by the MGC occurs on ISDN physical terminations in case of Unrestricted 64 kbit/s calls and on ANALOG terminations in case the PSTN subscriber line is marked as supporting data calls only. Echo cancellation may also be deactivated by the MG when entering the VBD mode. An Echo Control Device/Function (ECD; see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause 3.1) is therefore always associated with a physical H.248 termination (see notes 2 and 3). NOTE 2: A VoIP Media GateWay (MGW) defined by this H.248 Profile is a so-called "type 1 exchange/node" from ECD point of view (see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause A.2.4.3.1). NOTE 3: The configuration of the HECD (or ECD) in a media gateway is the "reverse associated" mode (see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause A.1.1, note 1 and figures A.2a, A.2b and A.3). An ECD is responsible for a single echo path, therefore also known as half-way ECD (HECD) (see notes 4 and 5). The ITU-T Recommendation G.168 [41] Digital Network ECD is required for the echo generated at "legacy terminal" side of the MG. This is the echo path on which the HECD is intended to operate, called as G.168 Cancelled End (or formerly as Near End). The required ECD tail length capacity is given by the echo path at the cancelled end. NOTE 4: A local call, resulting in a single H.248 Context with two physical H.248 terminations (Phy-to-Phy bearer interworking) may result in the allocation of two HECDs, one per direction. Such two complementary HECDs representing a full-way ECD (called full ECD (FECD), see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause 3.7). A FECD configuration for Phy-to-Phy H.248 Context types is not required and supported in this Profile version. It is rather anticipated from MG side, that the MGC is disabling the ECD resources for such a Context type, due to the small end-to-end propagation delay here. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 78 NOTE 5: More detailed ECD notation: In case of an outgoing call the ECD in the originating media gateway, responsible for the hybrid echo generated by the calling party, is playing the role of the outgoing ECD (OECD, see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause 3.12). In case of an incoming call the ECD in the terminating media gateway, responsible for the hybrid echo generated by the called party, is playing the role of the incoming ECD (IECD, see ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 [45], clause 3.11).

7.2.1 Autonomous actions
Normally the MG detects and applies analogue signals to the analogue line under the instructions of the MGC. However, a MG may be provisioned to perform the following time critical autonomous actions: • Apply normal power feed when the analogue line state changes from On-Hook to Off-Hook. • Apply idle voltage/current feed when the analogue line state changes from Off-Hook to On-Hook. • Apply reduced power feed when the analogue line continues to remain Off-Hook after a certain period of time without being associated to any connection. • Remove the ringing when the line goes Off-Hook. This action is performed irrespective of the setting of the keep active flag associated with the "off-hook" event. This action is intended to avoid causing an acoustic shock to the end user. • If a new outgoing call attempt is rejected by the MGC (e.g. due to congestion in MGC) by the return of an error code in response to a Notify command containing an "Off-Hook" observed event, then the RGW/AGW may as an option autonomously apply an appropriate tone or announcement. This will ensure that the end user is not subject to hearing prolonged silence and not knowing the progression of his call attempt. If a tone or announcement is autonomously applied, then the RGW/AGW will then be responsible for performing the subsequent autonomous call cleardown and without any interaction with the MGC. The detailed autonomous call treatment procedures are the same as those defined in ES 283 039-4 [57], for the case where a non emergency call is filtered by the AGW and not admitted to the MGC.

7.2.2 Alerting
The signal to be used (andisp/dwa or alert/ri) depends on whether or not information need to be displayed to the terminal. See also clause 7.2.4.
dde9e2552d661348f67d747426d8c5c3
183 002
7.2.3 Automatic metering
The pulses in the automatic metering package have to be accurately reflected between the MGC and the MG. In order to achieve that accuracy the following procedures have to be followed. The MG stops the enable metering signal from the automatic metering package in the event of an H.248 control link failure. The MGC is aware that the enable metering signal was stopped if it determines that the H.248 control link is down or if ServiceChange on Root is received indicating disconnected method. The enable metering signals is not reinitiated if the H.248 control link is re-established. The MGC has then the option to reinitialize the enable metering signal and continue charging or not charge for the call anymore. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 79

183 002
7.2.4.1 On hook data transmission
If "data transmission during ringing or prior to ringing" as described in EN 300 659-1 [4] is required (e.g. for the calling number display service), then the MGC shall use the andisp/dwa signal without or with the "TAS" parameter. The andisp/dwa signal without "TAS" parameter is used when the default method (i.e. "during ringing" or "prior to ringing" and the corresponding TAS) provisioned (e.g. globally or on a termination-basis) within the MG is to be used. The andisp/dwa signal with a "TAS" parameter is used when the default method provisioned in the MG is to be overridden by the MGC. The indication of "nt" (no TAS) in the TAS parameter informs the MG to apply data transmission during ringing. If "data transmission not associated with ringing" (e.g. for visual message waiting indicator service) as described in EN 300 659-1 [4] is required, then the MGC shall use the andisp/data signal without or with the "TAS" parameter. The former mechanism is used when the default TAS provisioned within the MG is to be used. The latter mechanism is used when the default TAS signal provisioned in the MG is to be overridden by the MGC.

183 002
7.2.4.2 Off hook data transmission:
For Off-Hook display the procedures for shall conform to EN 300 659-2 [5]. If data transmission is invoked after the initial Call Waiting Tone "Subscriber Alert Signal" (e.g. for the calling number display service), then the MGC shall use the andisp/dwa signal without or with the "TAS" parameter. The former mechanism is used when the default TAS provisioned within the MG is to be used. The latter mechanism is used when the default TAS signal provisioned in the MG is to be overridden by the MGC. If data transmission is invoked without the presence of a "Subscriber Alert Signal" (e.g. for the advice of charge service), then the MGC shall use the andisp/data signal without or with the "TAS" parameter. The former mechanism is used when the default TAS provisioned within the MG is to be used. The latter mechanism is used when the default TAS signal provisioned in the MG is to be overridden by the MGC.

183 002
7.3.1 General
Support of ISDN Basic Access, Primary Rate Access and NMDS requires the use of a backhaul mechanism in conjunction with H.248. In particular H.248 shall be used for handling the adaptation of the B channels to RTP media streams, for applying tones and announcements, and for inband DTMF digit collection.
dde9e2552d661348f67d747426d8c5c3
183 002
7.3.2 ISDN-BA signalling
An AGW or RGW shall support ISDN Q.921 (see ITU-T Recommendation Q.921 [46] User Adaptation (IUA) over SCTP as a backhaul mechanism for transporting D-channel (s-type frames) information to the MGC. It is recommended that the IUA interface identifier (IID) is mapped from the H.248 termination ID. An AGW or RGW shall support either SCTP and IUA (see RFC 2960 [58] and RFC 4233 [12]) or Raw Frame Relay over Generic Routing Encapsulation (see RFC 2784 [38]) as a backhaul mechanism for D-channel p-type frames to the required destination as defined in ETS 300 099 [6]. The Media GateWay (MGW) shall evaluate the DLCI field in the Q.921 message header. For SAPI=16, the Media GateWays (MGWs) shall send the SCTP/IUA messages to the required destination. NOTE 1: For SAPI=0, the Media GateWay (MGW) performs the procedure as described in the first paragraph of this clause. Media GateWays (MGWs) shall support either SCTP and IUA (see RFC 2960 [58] and RFC 4233 [12]) or Raw Frame Relay over Generic Routing Encapsulation (see RFC 2784 [38]) as a backhaul mechanism for D-channel f-type frames to a Frame Relay Gateway to the required destination as defined in ETS 300 099 [6]. ETSI ETSI TS 183 002 V3.3.1 (2009-08) 80 The Media GateWay (MGW) shall evaluate the DLCI field and the Interface Id in the Q.921 message header. For SAPI=16, the Media GateWays (MGWs) shall send the SCTP/IUA messages to the destination, which is pre-provisioned in the MG. NOTE 2: For SAPI=0, the Media GateWay (MGW) performs the procedure as described in the first paragraph of this clause. The LAP-D state machine (including TEI assignment and management procedures) shall reside within the AGW or RGW and shall conform to ETS 300 402-2 [8]. Automatic TEI may only be requested by the terminal equipment (TE). Non-automatic TEI shall be autonomously assigned by the AGW or RGW upon activation of the layer 1 and these values can then be used by either the TE or the MGC. The range of automatic and non-automatic TEI is defined in ETS 300 402-2 [8]. The "point to point" or "point to multi-point" procedures are solely under the control of the MGC and have no impact on the AGW or RGW. The AGW or RGW shall support either permanent activation of the layer 1 or activation of layer 1 on a per call basis and this mode shall be configurable via a management interface. Activation of loop backs within the access digital section (e.g. loopback at the NT1) shall be under the control of the AGW or RGW. When a loopback is applied it will also be necessary for the AGW or RGW to inform the MGC that the ISDN access is unavailable for the presentation of incoming calls. This can be achieved by using the H.248 ServiceChange procedures.

7.3.2.2 Discrimination of p-type frames
The Media GateWays (MGWs) shall evaluate the DLCI field. For the SAPI value equals to 16, the media gateway shall send the X.25 PLP messages over SCTP and IUA to the destination address, which is pre-provisioned for this SAPI value in the media gateway.

7.3.2.4 SCTP Association establishment
The NGN-Packet Handler (NGN-PH) or Frame Handler (FH) plays the role of the Softswitch in a packet mode or frame mode configuration. Therefore, the SCTP association shall be established/re-established by the NGN PH or FH. For signalling (s-type frames) and packet/frame relay (f and p-type frames) two separate SCTP associations shall be used: - for s-type frames, the SCTP association is established between the MG and the Softswitch; - for p-type frames, the SCTP association is established between the MG and the NGN-PH; - for f-type frames, the SCTP association is established between the MG and the NGN-FH. Signalling traffic from one D-channel is transported over one bidirectional SCTP stream within one SCTP association. Signalling traffic from more than one D-channel may be transported over one bidirectional SCTP stream, within an SCTP association. The same may also apply for f- and p-type traffic. NOTE: If, for redundancy, the MG is connected to a secondary Softswitch, there may be also a secondary SCTP association established from the MG to the secondary Softswitch.

7.3.2.4.1 IUA/SCTP for Q.931 call control signalling traffic
The H.248 registration/re-registration between the Media GateWay (MGW) and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) shall trigger the initiation of the SCTP association between the Media GateWay (MGW) and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) according to TISPAN TS 102 144 [59]. The H.248 de-registration between the Media GateWay (MGW) and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) shall trigger the shutdown of the SCTP association between the Media GateWay (MGW) and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) according to TISPAN TS 102 144 [59].

7.3.2.4.2 IUA/SCTP for X.25 or frame relay traffic
IUA shall be used asymmetrical as specified in RFC 4233 [12]. The X.25 endpoint, i.e. the NGN-PH shall be a standalone node. It is not the aim of the present document to have two X.25 terminals interconnected via two Access Gateways and an IP domain, but a X.25 terminal connected via an Access Gateway to the NGN-PH.

183 002
7.3.3 ISDN-PRA signalling
The RGW and AGW requirements for ISDN-PRA are the same as for an ISDN-BA line as detailed above, with the following exceptions: • "Point to point" procedures are only applicable. • Relaying of p-type and f-type frames is not applicable. Unlike ISDN-BA, any OAM procedures related to the access digital section (e.g. Loopback at the NT1) are handled entirely within the AGW or RGW, where time slot "0" is terminated.

183 002
7.3.4 NMDS
Where the AGW or RGW supports NMDS, there are specific behaviours for the ISDN Basic Access (BA) at both Layer 1 and Layer 2. At Layer 1 permanent activation shall be supported. At layer 2 the range of Automatic TEI values available to be requested by the Terminal Equipment (TE) and TEIs used for the signalling for PSTN ports shall be as defined in EN 301 141-1 [7]. TEIs used for the signalling for the PSTN ports associated with the Network Terminating Node (NTN) shall be operated using "point-to-point" procedures under the control of the MGC. Further details of these Layer 1 and Layer 2 procedures are defined in EN 301 141-1 [7].

7.3.5 ISDN management
The operation and maintenance of an ISDN-BA access digital section (as defined in ETS 300 297 [47]) and an ISDN-PRA access digital section (as defined in ETS 300 233 [48]) is performed by the MG. The MG controls the access digital section for the whole ISDN access and not individual "B" channels. Therefore the MG shall indicate failure or return to service of the ISDN access digital section to the MGC, via a H.248 ServiceChange. The ServiceChange shall have a TerminationID that specifies the affected ISDN port, but with a wildcarded identifier to indicate that the command applies to the entire ISDN Access. Upon receipt of this ServiceChange the MGC shall assume that the command applies to all the configured "B-channels", as well as the "D-channel", whose signalling is transported via IUA/SCTP. It should be noted that all other H.248 commands (e.g. Add, Modify, Move, Notify, Subtract) sent by the MG/MGC which are associated with the establishment of a bearer shall apply to an individual "B-channel". In addition it is possible to send a ServiceChange identifying a specific B-channel when for example a B-channel is taken in and out-of-service via the MG/MGC Element Management Systems.
