What is the difference between MGCP mode of soft switch and traditional PSTN telephone network in line?

Softswitch adopts IP transmission, and the transmission medium is generally twisted pair, which is the so-called network cable. The MGCP you mentioned is a communication protocol, and there are other protocols such as SIP in softswitch.

Traditional switches generally use audio lines for transmission, that is, ordinary telephone lines, which are generally 1 pair;

Personally, the biggest difference between soft switching and traditional switching is the change in hardware, circuit and function.

The hardware has been simplified. Softswitch only needs one or more servers to exchange through software, and can be integrated with our office network without laying various cables.

The function has been enhanced, and the data fusion of video, audio and multimedia has been realized.
