The MGCP channel in Asterisk

Apparently the MGCP channel supports the following CLASS service codes:

Example

  ; calling the MGCP device with the name "192.168.0.3" on line 1 (= aaln/1)
  exten => 201,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/1@192.168.0.3)

Q & A

Can Asterisk register as a MGCP client on a remote MGCP service?:
No. At the present time Asterisk can serve MGCP Clients using the mgcp.conf file, but it cannot register on a remote server using MGCP.

BOUNTY

Currently asterisk will not register on a remote MGCP server, there are a number of users who would like to have this functionality. I am offering/collection a bounty for the person who will write the code for asterisk so that asterisk can connect to a VoIP provider using MGCP. If you are interested in getting the bounty or you would like to add funds to the bounty please contact me at ciisafe @ gmail DOT com.

The bounty is currently 40 US Dollars.
