Versions of Annex E
by Paul E. Jones 26 May '00

26 May '00

Folks, There is a copy of Annex E here: ftp://standard.pictel.com/avc-site/9905_San/Annex_E_rev7.1_changes.zip that appears to be newer, but in fact has no official standing. Mr. Okubo's HTML document describes that it was a proposal to the Santiago meeting, but I've seen a couple of people download it without reading the HTML file, believing that it was the current version. Mr. Okubo, is there something we can do to help prevent people from mistaking this for the latest version? Can we modify the timestamp of the file or rename it? Thanks, Paul

ASN.1 restrictions in H.225.0
by Rich Bowen 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

Dale Skran asked me to document the ASN.1 restrictions that we use in H.225.0, as a guide to contributors. If I understand correctly, there was an understanding among the early contributors that some ASN.1 constructs were forbidden, to keep the ASN.1 simple. He said some of the old timers in Q.13/Q.14 should be able to help out with this. Does anyone remember any of these restrictions? I would appreciate any information. Thanks, Rich -------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard K.

Dear Mr. Taylor, > Please allocate one APC number for "Megaco/H.248 Errata".

H.450.2 ASN.1 related
by El-Gebaly, Hani 28 Apr '00

28 Apr '00

H.323 experts, The ASN.1 code for H.450.2 contains the following structure: "argumentExtension CHOICE {extensionSeq ExtensionSeq, nonStandardData NonStandardParameter } OPTIONAL," duplicated inside many larger structures such as CTInitiateArg, CTSetupArg, CTIdentifyRes, CTUpdateArg, SubaddressTransferArg, etc. Feeding the code as is into the ASN.1 compiler will result in multiple _choice structures (_choice1, _choice2, _choice3, etc.) for the same exact structure: "CHOICE {extensionSeq ExtensionSeq, nonStandardData NonStandardParameter } OPTIONAL" We can do some optimization and save some code (desperately needed for embedded platforms) by modifying the ASN.1 code and defining a new structure as follows: ExtensionASN ::=CHOICE { extensionSeq ExtensionSeq, nonStandardData NonStandardParameter } And use ExtensionASN structure in all the CTXArgument structures that use the above structure, for example: CTInitiateArg ::= SEQUENCE { callIdentity CallIdentity, reroutingNumber EndpointAddress, argumentExtension ExtensionASN OPTIONAL, ... } Since implementers should not touch the ASN.1 code on their own and the H.450.2 document will have to go through the ITU process of producing a new revision to have a fix like this, my questions are: Does anyone see any problem with this optimization? Will a modification like this have any effect on bits going on the wire (it shouldn't)? Can this proposal break backward compatibility? Is there a compelling reason for writing the structures the way they are in the H.450.2 document?
