Hello Carsten, Jason and Klaus,
Thank you for this nice discussion, it's good to know others motivations :). I am very new to this project, and am starting my master thesis project that is too close to what you do, my project is about interconnecting IMS users and H.248 users
'interconnecting' - what do you mean by this? I would imagine this is a simple gateway function so I'm not quite sure to what extent you want to interconnect? maybe you can elaborate?
I mean, interconnecting signaling messages, basically take h.248 message parse and get information needed to build sip messages and the other way around
I don't have to touch anything in the gateways development, it's just about signaling between h.248 and ims user, gateway comtrollers and ims core.
, for the H.248 part am working on SmallMGC "http://www.smallmgc.org/" and for the IMS side am trying to use SIP Router, if I succeed to use SmallMGC as a module to SIP Router I would be able to get SIP Router top act as an AGCF and
I don't think SR/Kamailio is the correct place to build a gateway. For a University POC, maybe, but I would imagine it would be far better to build it as a separate AGCF entity with an IMS stack (possibly something like doubango - very good IMS stack IMO).
AGCF works much like MGCF, while MGCF take PSTN/ISDN signaling the sip/ims world, AGCF do that for h.248/megaco. No gateway will be built. I attached a schema of the AGCF architecture.
that is the main goal of my project. I tried to install SIP Router from the IMS branch but I got some bugs, may be I should wait for the release of the 3.2 version?
3.2 won't make a diff for IMS extensions, however, we are now really close to putting in another branch with the latest stuff we are doing with kamailio and IMS. Just give us a few more days.
alright I'm waiting for it. Thanks for the answer and the great work you are doing,
Regards kamal
