Network connection method uses media gateway, media gateway controller and signalisation transfer point for bidirectional transfer of useful and signalisation data

摘要

The connection method uses a media gateway and an associated media gateway controller for transfer of useful data between a switched circuit network and an Internet protocol network. The network nodes of the switched circuit network coupled via signal links with the media gateway controller and identified by signaling system no. 7 network addresses. A SS7/packet network transfer point is inserted between the switched circuit network nodes and the media gateway controller for conversion of the signalisation data.
