[erlang-questions] new user want to encode & decode h248 protocol

[Håkan Mattsson]

The Megaco app is a beast and it is perhaps not the one that I would start
with if I was going to learn Erlang from scratch. There are however several
good books explaining Erlang. Read some of them and get hands on with their
exercises. "Learn you some Erlang" is a very good on-line source.

Once you are a little bit familiar with Erlang, I would recommend you to
run the simple mg/mgc examples in the Megaco app. Use the Erlang debugger
to follow the call flow from socket to socket.

When you got the overall picture you can inspect the transport callback
modules in Megaco (TCP and UDP) to see how they are reading packets. You
can either use them or roll your own. Once you have read a packet you can
feed it into a suitable decoder that fit your needs. There are several
decoders provided, both textual and binary.

Good luck!
