It is not very clear to me also how the internal mechanisms of OpenH323/H323Plus. 
One of the key modules of the PTLib (core to the H323Plus) is the implementation of ASN.1 PacketBinary Format. It would be like the equivalent of Java XML bindings, transforming the 
ASN binary notation in compact binary packages through classes that represent the hierarchy of the package. 
The methods that you mentioned are used by serializer and deserializer. To disassembly by hand a message from H.323 it is necessary to know what the class the returned PByteBuffer 
by Get____() belongs.

See the CVS examples for MCU with NAT/Firewall Traversal H.460.18/19, there some H.420 messages are 'raw' manipulated to conform the specification.

lo,

i've been harnessing the Q931 class of h323plus to decode packets off
the wire, however i'm a little confused as to how h323plus decodes the
contents of the information elements which are contained within Q931.


i assumed (apparently wrongly) that you would do a check for an element
by using Q931.HasIE(), get the byte array of the IE using Q931.GetIE(),
then call something like Q931.decodeUserUserIE which returns a structure
of some sort which can have methods such as getConferenceGuid() called
upon it.

I've done the first few steps upto GetIE(), and i now have a PBYTEARRAY
of the IE, but i've no idea what to do with it now to decode its
contents in a workable, consistent manner.

I've poured through the h323+ code, but i cant seem to find where the
code deals with this problem. perhaps h323pdu plays a role ??


-- To clarify, i'm sniffing packets off the wire, i.e: mid call, so i'm
not an endpoint in the call, rather a onlooker. I don't have transport
objects or anything such, i just want to decode the packets and view
their contents.

- Thanks in advance.
