Hi, I am a new commer to the MEGACO mailing list and have some dump questions. The text enconding is new to me. If TCP is used as transport, how is a transaction message framed out from the data stream. Is "MEGACO/1" the frame mark? The standard requies MGC/MC to support UDP/ALF. UDP is already message based. Why is ALF (application level framing) needed? I though the other way around. Framing is needed for TCP. Thanks.
