I don't know the particulars, because I've never used (or even looked at 
MGCP). All I know is that whenever the issue comes up, people here say 
that Asterisk does not know how to act as an MGCP Gatekeeper, only as an 
agent. I presume it would have to act as a gatekeeper to control an 
MGCP-based media gateway, because those devices are all intended to be 
controlled by some sort of softswitch.
