Signaling protocol

A signaling protocol is a type of protocol used to identify signaling encapsulation. Signaling is used to identify the state of connection between telephones or VOIP terminals (IP telephone or PCs or VoWLAN units). The following is a list of signaling protocols:

• ALOHA
• EDSS1
• Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling
• H.248
• H.323
• H.225.0
• Jingle
• Media Gateway Control Protocol
• Megaco
• R1
• NBAP (Node B Application Part)
• R2 signalling
• Session Initiation Protocol
• Signaling System No. 5
• Signaling System No. 6
• Signaling System No. 7
• SCCP (Skinny Call Control Protocol), or 'Skinny' for short
• Q.931
• QSIG
