Srivathsan,
Streams that use RTP must also use RTCP, which requires a media control channel. As an example of the opposite, we implemented a non-standard data channel that does not use RTP and therefore does not specify a media control channel. H.245 needs to be general. Referencing Recommendations, such as H.323, tighten it up a bit depending on their needs.

Thanks Paul.
I got confused by the following line from the H.245 section 7.3.2 However I think what is said in H.323 has more precedence over what is said in H.245.
"mediaControlChannel indicates the media control channel in which the sender of the openLogicalChannelAck will be listening for media control messages for this session. This field is present only when a media control channel is required."
Thanks Srivathsan
