Summary

This Recommendation defines the inter-operation of two PSTN to IP network gateways that facilitate the end-to-end connection of V-series DCEs over an IP network. The principal characteristics of these gateways are: a mechanism to allow the transparent transport of modem signals end-to-end, a mechanism to allow the termination of modem signals at the gateways and the transport of the data between gateways, the definition of a transport protocol, which is suitable to relay data between gateways, and procedures to allow gateways to transition between Voice‑over‑Internet Protocol and Modem‑over‑Internet Protocol operation.

Amendment 1 added new code definitions to the SSE Protocol Reason Identifier Codes (RIC) contained in Table 12/V.150.1, which are intended to support the SSE protocol in ITU-T Rec. V.152 and the Text Relay.

Amendment 2 adds support to the Text-over-IP procedures defined in ITU‑T Rec. V.151 and to new SPRT data types.
