“Vovida Networks, Inc., today announced the first free
commercial release of an MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol) and
RTP (Real Time Transport Protocol) source code running on the Linux
operating system…”

“In line with the model of the increasingly popular Linux
operating system, the MGCP and RTP source code is free of charge.
This is a significant deviation from today’s environment where the
current suppliers of proprietary protocol stack implementations
charge both recurring licensing and royalty fees.”

“In addition to making freely available the MGCP and RTP stacks,
Vovida Networks will be delivering open source implementations of
H.323 Annex F and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) later this
summer.”
