In Voice over IP (VoIP) to PSTN (telephone) network integration, MGCP and C15 can work together as part of a layered signaling architecture that bridges IP-based call control with traditional PSTN switching systems. This profile helps you see C15, MGCP as well as SIP traffic to correlate, filter, and troubleshoot these protocols.

MGCP stands for Media Gateway Control Protocol. It’s a telecommunications protocol used for controlling media gateways on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. If you have media gateways in you VoIP network, you need this profile: If your gateway goes to the PSTN using the C15 protocol, I have a separate profile for that. Here’s a quick
Our MGCP Cheat Sheet: An MGCP cheat sheet is essential because MGCP troubleshooting requires rapid, precise interpretation of terse, transaction-oriented signaling where small details—codes, endpoint names, and timing—directly determine call success or failure. Unlike more verbose protocols, MGCP provides little narrative context, so analysts must recognize meaning instantly. Did you find this useful? Would you
