What is MTP? What is its significance?

[Aman Soi]

Hi Fayiz,

Media Termination Point is basically an entity that accepts two full-duplex media streams.

MTP can be used for H.323 supplementary services like call hold,Outbound FastStart , H.323 Trunks.

Hi Fayiz,

Just to add to Aman's answer (+5 Aman):

A media termination point (MTP) is an entity that accepts two  full-duplex media streams. It bridges the streams together and allows  them to be set up and torn down independently. The streaming data  received from the input stream on one connection is passed to the output  stream on the other connection, and vice versa. MTPs have many possible  uses, such as:

•Re-Packetization of a Stream

•DTMF Conversion

•Protocol-specific usage

–DTMF Relay over SIP Trunks

–H.323 Supplementary Services

–H.323 Outbound Fast Connect

For more detailed explanation on each of these points, kindly refer to the SRND:
