Re: many-to-many relationship in H.248

Hello Sasha, As Albrecht says typically there's only one control association between an MGC-MG pair. An MG can be split into several Virtual MGs which in effect allow one physical MG to have a relationship with multiple MGCs. What scenario / functionality are you looking at? There may be another way via H.248 to achieve want you want.

Sasha, guess this is impossible due to the Control Association concept in H.248. There's only a single Control Association between a MGC-MG pair. Regards, Albrecht PS You should Cc "megaco(a)ietf.org" for H.248 specific questions. "Sasha Ruditsky" <sasha@RADVISION To: <itu-sg16(a)external.cisco.com> .COM> cc: Subject: many-to-many relationship in H.248 25.01.2006 21:22 Hi In H.248 single MGC normally works with several MGs. However a particular MG works with a single MGC in any given moment of time. In a particular setup with which we are working it is necessary that an MGC instructs an MG to give notifications to a different MGC. Does somebody know a way to achieve this in current H.248? Do you think such way should be defined? Thanks, Sasha

many-to-many relationship in H.248

Hi In H.248 single MGC normally works with several MGs. However a particular MG works with a single MGC in any given moment of time. In a particular setup with which we are working it is necessary that an MGC instructs an MG to give notifications to a different MGC. Does somebody know a way to achieve this in current H.248? Do you think such way should be defined? Thanks, Sasha

RE: T310 timer and PROGRESS
by Horvath, Ernst 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Paul, In QSIG, which is essentially a symmetrical variant of Q.931, T310 is stopped on receipt of a PROGRESS message with progress indication 1 or 8. This behaviour is useful for a number of supplementary services where expiry of T310 could terminate the call attempt too soon. Regards, Ernst ________________________________ From: Paul E. Jones [mailto:paulej@PACKETIZER.COM] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 11:51 PM To: itu-sg16(a)external.cisco.com Subject: T310 timer and PROGRESS Experts, Recently, I asked what should happen when an endpoint receives a PROGRESS message indicating that there are in-band tones and announcements. Should the T310 timer be stopped? H.225.0 seems to be silent on this, but it would certainly seem that it should be stopped. Should we stop the timer or should the timer continue to run? It will expire in short order (assuming a default value), which suggests the timer ought to be terminated and T301 started. I would appreciate your input on this. Paul

RE: T310 timer and PROGRESS
by Paul E. Jones 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Christian, Thanks for pointing this out to me. It would seem reasonable that we should probably bring over comparable wording to H.323 or, at the very least, list PROGRESS as one of the messages that stops the T310 timer. I suppose the further qualification would be that the PROGRESS message must contain a PI #8 or #1. Would this sound reasonable? If so, I'll draft such a contribution for the next meeting.

H.323 Instant Messaging and Presence
by Paul E. Jones 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Folks, I have received three independent queries over the past month or so calling for the creation of procedures that detail how to do presence and instant messaging within the context of H.323. Since this requires some discussion and since we do not have any meeting time planned until April, I have decided to create a separate mailing list to discuss this topic among interested parties who might work to draft an initial set of contributions to the next SG16 meeting. If you are interested in this topic, please visit http://lists.packetizer.com <http://lists.packetizer.com/> and join the h323impp list. Paul
