What is H.248?
H.248, also known as Megaco, is a gateway control protocol used in telecommunications. It defines how a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) controls Media Gateways (MGs) to establish, maintain, and terminate calls. It's commonly used in VoIP networks to separate call control from media transport, enabling scalable and flexible network architectures.
