   This document provides a basic set of Media Gateway Control Protocol
   (MGCP) packages.  The generic, line, trunk, handset, RTP, DTMF (Dual
   Tone Multifrequency), announcement server and script packages are
   updates of packages from RFC 2705 with additional explanation and in
   some cases new versions of these packages.  In addition to these,
   five new packages are defined here.  These are the signal list,
   resource reservation, media format, supplementary services and digit
