	 <t>A Media Gateway with ISDN terminations will use both Megaco [1] and
Sigtran protocols for communication with the Media Gateway
Controller. In an ISDN Access Gateway the media carrying B-channels
are controlled by the Media Gateway Controller using Megaco, while
the User-to-Network signalling running over the D-channels will be
relayed to the Media Gateway Controller using Sigtran protocols (IUA
[3] over SCTP [2]).
At the moment, in the absence of appropriate specifications, the
Megaco and Sigtran protocols may interact in different ways in the
Access Gateway, leaving room for non-interoperable solutions.
This draft proposes a set of guidelines for the Megaco-Sigtran
interworking, documenting a best current practice for ISDN Access
Gateways.
