"MGCP Implementation in the Access Gateway"
Is it better to implement MGCP in a
line access gateway at the customer premise (e.g. in an Integrated
Access Device) or in a line access gateway at an Access Aggregation
point (e.g. an edge router)? While there are claims of advantages
and disadvantages for each alternative, invariably, a combination
of technical and economic factors associated with each alternative
will prove the final market positioning.

"MGCP: Media Gateway Control Protocol
- Providing Structure in Today's IP-Based Telephone System"
The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)
provides the call control necessary to allow wide scale IP telephony
over the Internet with interoperability between legacy telephone
networks. Efficient and suited for growth and interoperability with
legacy voice connections, MGCP is the number one option for providing
signaling over IP networks today. This 22-page technical white paper
is a great resource for learning about MGCP.

"Considerations for Creating and Delivering
Next Generation Services for the New Public Network"
In today’s hyper-competitive public
network marketplace service providers must find new ways to distinguish
their service offerings from those of their competitors. This need
drives service providers to employ creative and innovative solutions
to deliver new value to their customers. The emerging Internet Protocol
(IP), packet-based public network provides an ideal environment
for such creativity and innovation-enabling service providers to
offer richly differentiated portfolios of converged voice and data
services.This white paper provides a technical overview of service
management problems, demonstrating how Next Generation Service Management
Systems enable advanced service creation and management.

"The Evolution Towards Multi-Service IP/MPLS
Networks"
"With this overwhelming deluge of IP
traffic, operators need to migrate toward multi-service IP based
networks. Why multi-service? With the majority of traffic being
IP-based, it makes both operational and business sense for operators
to optimize the entire network for IP, and for all other non-IP
traffic to run over this IP core as well. The alternative, to build
and operate multiple networks, creates significant increases in
capital and operational costs."

"MPLS and Next Generation Access Networks"
Presented October 2 - 4, 2000
at the IEEE Euro Conference (ECUMN'2000) in Colmar, France, by Dr.
Tom Sack of Integral Access.
New IP-based technologies for supporting
integrated voice and broadband data services over a single link
are providing competitive carriers the opportunity to aggressively
attack new markets. However, to deliver a comprehensive and competitively
priced set of services, carriers must be able to manage QoS. MPLS
provides the best alternative for managing QoS and Class of Service
(CoS) for IP-based services. This presentation will discuss how
carriers can use MPLS to prioritize traffic and provision network
bandwidth in order to offer integrated voice/data services, differentiated
services and service level agreements.
