This document specifies a particular application of the Megaco/H.248
Protocol for control of Internet telephones and similar appliances:
the Megaco IP Phone Media Gateway.  The telephone itself is a Media
Gateway (MG), controlled by the Megaco/H.248 Protocol, with
application control intelligence located in the Media Gateway
Controller (MGC).  To achieve a high degree of interoperability and
design efficiency in such end-user devices, a consistent architectural
approach, a particular organization of Terminations and Packages, and
a Protocol Profile are described.  The approach makes use of existing
Protocol features and user interface related Packages, and is thus a
straight-forward application of the Megaco/H.248 Protocol.

This document is a product of the Media Gateway Control Working Group
of the IETF.
