Abstract

This document describes the functional requirements for protocol used by a call processing agent in a packet network to control an media services function located in the same packet network or at the inter- face of the packet network and the traditional telephone network. The primary focus of the protocol is on audio, however the protocol could be extended in the future to support other media streams such as video. The protocol provides the standard audio operations of play audio, collect DTMF, and record speech. It supports direct references to simple audio as well as indirect references to simple and complex audio. It provides multi-language audio variables, interruptibility of audio, digit buffer control, special key sequences, and support for reprompting during data collection. The approach used in specifying protocol functionality was to look at several existing protocols currently in use in the telephone network, taking the best concepts from each and attempting to avoid any limi- tations. The following protocols were examined: ITU CS1-R [2], Nor- tel Extended CS1-R [3], Bellcore GR-1129 [4], and Bellcore SR-3511 [5]. The protocol described in this document provides at a minimum a superset of the functionality of these protocols.
