support in Asterisk. This is likely due to the fact that SIP has stolen
the limelight from every other VoIP protocol (except IAX, of course).
Because of this, you should attempt to use Asterisk’s MCGP channel in a
production environment only if you are prepared to perform extensive
testing, are willing to pay to have features and patches implemented
within your time frames, and have in-house expertise with the
protocol.</p><p>Having said that, we are not prepared to pronounce MGCP dead. SIP is
not yet the panacea it has been touted as, and MGCP has proven itself to
be very useful in carrier backbone environments. Many believe MGCP will
fill a niche or void that has not yet been discovered, and we remain
interested in it.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="asterisk-APP-D-SECT-26.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="asterisk-APP-D.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="asterisk-APP-D-SECT-28.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">meetme.conf </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> modem.conf</td></tr></table></div><div xmlns="" id="svn-footer"><hr /><p>You are reading <em>Asterisk: The Future of Telephony</em> (2nd Edition for Asterisk 1.4), by Jim van Meggelen, Jared Smith, and Leif Madsen.<br />
