| Over satellite links, I'm told that MGCP has faster call setup. When one
has to do down and dirty call troubleshooting, I'm told that H.323 is an
absolute winner. Well perhaps, I can say from first hand experience. And
with H.323, gateway diagnostics are much better, when you get into a bind.
I've got a few tools at http://www.oneunified.net/blog/Cisco/index.blog that
are based upon the H.323 experience. And based upon a few tricks of the
peer-mask trade, I much prefer the H.323 route when configuring voice
gateways.
Yes, I'm biased. I look forward to hearing from those that are MGCP biased.

| All I can say is that MGCP is almost moron proof (no offense) for simply
installations. But H323 on the other hand lends to much more
flexibility/features, which also lends to more complex configurations
and know how.

| I think it really comes down to CallManager not being able to take full
advantage of the gateway IOS capabilities when using MGCP. I think Cisco
is doing a good job of maturing the protocol, but...... at this point,
complex installations usually need H323. Just my 2 cents...

H.323 supports call preservation going in and out of SRST mode.
H.323 supports digit manipulation on calling / called number for inbound
and outbound calls.
MGCP has caller name and caller ID delivery to the phone; H.323 will
only deliver caller ID.

| CallerID is not supported on FXO via MGCP. Essentially the reverse of
Caller name with H.323. Kinda screwed either way ;-)
