Summary

The H.248.38 Base Context (BC) package contains properties that affect the context as a whole by providing the media gateway controller with the ability to audit the media gateway for the exact number of terminations present in a context, thus avoiding the return of the complete list of termination identifiers. The context describes the topology (who hears/sees whom) and the media mixing and/or switching parameters if more than two terminations are involved in the association. This function can be used to limit the amount of data returned in an audit reply containing only the pertinent information requested.
