Encapsulation (networking)
In computer networking, encapsulation is a method of designing modular communication protocols in which logically separate functions in the network are abstracted from their underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within higher level objects....

  • QSIG
    QSIG
    QSIG is an ISDN based signaling protocol for signaling between private branch exchanges in a Private Integrated Services Network . It makes use of the connection-level Q.931 protocol and the application-level ROSE protocol...

  • Session Initiation Protocol
    Session Initiation Protocol
    The Session Initiation Protocol is an IETF-defined signaling protocol widely used for controlling communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol . The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party or multiparty sessions...

  • H.323
    H.323
    H.323 is a recommendation from the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector that defines the protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet network...

    • H.225.0
      H.225.0
      H.225.0 is part of the H.323 family of telecommunication protocols.The main objective of H.225.0 is the definition of messages and procedures for:* Call Signaling: establish, control and end an H.323 call...

  • Media Gateway Control Protocol
  • Megaco
    Megaco
    Megaco is a gateway control protocol. and an implementation of the Media Gateway Control Protocol architecture for controlling media gateways in Internet Protocol networks and the public switched telephone network...

  • Signaling System No. 5
    Signaling System No. 5
    CCITT5 was a multi-frequency telephone signalling system in use from the 1970s for International Direct Distance Dialing . It was sometimes nicknamed "Atlantic Code" because the first IDD connections between Europe and North America used it....

  • Signaling System No. 7
  • Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling
  • R1
    Multi-frequency
    In telephony, multi-frequency signaling is an outdated, in-band signaling technique. Numbers were represented in a two-out-of-five code for transmission from a multi-frequency sender, to be received by a multi-frequency receiver in a distant telephone exchange...

  • R2 signalling
    R2 signalling
    R2 is a 1950s- and 1970s-era channel-associated-signalling signalling protocol used outside of the former Bell System to convey information along a telephone trunk between two telephone switches in order to establish a single telephone call along that trunk....

  • NBAP (Node B Application Part)
    NBAP
    In the 3GPP UTRAN architecture, NBAP is the signalling protocol responsible for the control of the Node B by the RNC. NBAP is subdivided into Common and Dedicated NBAP , where Common NBAP controls overall Node B functionality, and Dedicated NBAP controls radio links to specific user equipment...

  • SCCP (Skinny Call Control Protocol), or 'Skinny' for short
  • Jingle
    Jingle (protocol)
    Jingle is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol . It implements peer-to-peer session control for multimedia interactions such as in Voice over IP or videoconferencing communications. It was designed by Google and the XMPP Standards Foundation. The multimedia streams are...

  • Q.931
    Q.931
    ITU-T Recommendation Q.931 is ISDN's connection control protocol, roughly comparable to TCP in the Internet Protocol stack. Q.931 doesn't provide flow control or perform retransmission, since the underlying layers are assumed to be reliable and the circuit-oriented nature of ISDN allocates...
