Abstract:
This undergraduate dissertation describes the implementation of a basic constituent
of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) system, the Call Agent, using the PacketCable “Networkbased
Call Signaling” (NCS) protocol. It discusses NCS as a call signaling protocol
for use in centralized call control architecture. The capability of the NCS Call Agent
of call control, connection control, auditing, and management of resources of its
media gateways and its implementation is also discussed. All the basic features of
the protocol except for the security and Quality of Service (QoS) have been
described and implemented.
