The evolution of TDM telephony into Voice over IP required the standardization of a
protocol suite that could satisfy the requirements of voice traffic inside IP networks. In
1996, ITU standardized those requirements by issuing recommendation H.323. H.323 is
considered to be a protocol suite rather than a specific protocol. It references a range of
specific protocols for call setup, data transmission and capabilities negotiation.
The H.323 model consists of a gateway which is responsible for connecting PSTN
networks into the Internet side. This node needs to understand both PSTN protocols and
H.323 protocol suite. Also within an H.323 zone, a gatekeeper is possible to exist which
is responsible for end-users registration and admission control within a given zone of
operation. End users in this model are called terminals.
This model simply points out the basic components of an H.323 enabled network. Details
about the role of each node in this architecture are presented further on.
RTP is the protocol used for transporting voice packets and it is managed by RTCP.
This command is quite useful because it indicates at first glance whether the
Physical PRI link is active or not. It also indicates the status of Layer 2 (Q.921).
The required Layer 2 status is “MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED”.
Moreover active calls and their associated B-channel are presented.

This command is useful in order to see the actual calling and called party
numbers.
This command indicates the active link between the media gateway controller and
the media gateway within group 0. Via this link call signaling messages are
exchanged.
