1 Scope
The present document defines a profile of the Gateway Control Protocol (H.248.1), for controlling access and
residential gateways connecting analog lines and ISDN primary and basic accesses, in order to emulate PSTN/ISDN
services over IP.
1.1 Differences between H.248 ARGW Profiles Version 1 and
Version 2
The differences between both H.248 profile versions are detailed in annex A.
Summary list of differences:
1) Package usage details (see clause 5.14.2).
2) IUA/SCTP encapsulation for Q.921 p-/f-type frames in IP domain (see clause 7.3.2).
3) Additional V5 support (see clause 7.4).
4) Adaptive-rate based MGC overload control (see clause 8.1.2).
5) Real time statistics reporting (see clause 8.4).
2 References
References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following
cases:
- if it is accepted that it will be possible to use all future changes of the referenced document for the purposes
of the referring document;
- for informative references.
Referenced documents which are not found to be publicly available in the expected location might be found at

For online referenced documents, information sufficient to identify and locate the source shall be provided. Preferably,
the primary source of the referenced document should be cited, in order to ensure traceability. Furthermore, the
reference should, as far as possible, remain valid for the expected life of the document. The reference shall include the
method of access to the referenced document and the full network address, with the same punctuation and use of upper
case and lower case letters.

residential gateways connecting analog lines and ISDN primary and basic accesses, in order to emulate PSTN/ISDN
services over IP.
1.1 Differences between H.248 ARGW Profiles Version 1 and
Version 2
The differences between both H.248 profile versions are detailed in annex A.
Summary list of differences:
1) Package usage details (see clause 5.14.2).
2) IUA/SCTP encapsulation for Q.921 p-/f-type frames in IP domain (see clause 7.3.2).
3) Additional V5 support (see clause 7.4).
4) Adaptive-rate based MGC overload control (see clause 8.1.2).
5) Real time statistics reporting (see clause 8.4).
2 References
References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following
cases:
- if it is accepted that it will be possible to use all future changes of the referenced document for the purposes
of the referring document;
- for informative references.
Referenced documents which are not found to be publicly available in the expected location might be found at
http://docbox.etsi.org/Reference.
For online referenced documents, information sufficient to identify and locate the source shall be provided. Preferably,
the primary source of the referenced document should be cited, in order to ensure traceability. Furthermore, the
reference should, as far as possible, remain valid for the expected life of the document. The reference shall include the
method of access to the referenced document and the full network address, with the same punctuation and use of upper
case and lower case letters.
NOTE: While any hyperlinks included in this clause were valid at the time of publication ETSI cannot guarantee
their long term validity.
