Is H.225.0 Progress message really optional though it is used in Fast Start ?
by Lyons, Terry 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

H.323 v4 says: 8.1.7 Fast connect procedure . . . When the called endpoint desires to proceed with the Fast Connect procedure, it sends a Q.931 message (Call Proceeding, Progress, Alerting, or Connect) containing a fastStart element selecting from amongst the OpenLogicalChannel proposals offered by the calling endpoint. However, H.225.0 says that Progress is CM to receive and act on. Does that mean that a receiver can ignore Progress and believe that Fast Start was refused? The transmitter and receiver can then disagree about whether Fast Start concluded. How should we resolve the inconsistency? - TLyons(a)sonusnet.com +1 732 625-3003 ext 212 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For help on this mail list, send "HELP ITU-SG16" in a message to listserv(a)mailbag.intel.com

New ITU-SG16 Mail List Procedures Implemented for Trial Period
by Meyer, Greg W 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

All ITU-SG16 Mail List Users: Please note that the mail list, itu-sg16(a)mailbag.intel.com, has a new two-step proceedure for sending mail to the list. Here's how it works: 1. Compose your message. 2. Send it to ITU-SG16(a)MAILBAG.INTEL.COM 3. You will receive a "confirmation" message from LISTSERV(a)MAILBAG.INTEL.COM 4. Reply to the confirmation message with "OK" (without the quotes) in the body. OK, that's four steps but only two "sends." Each confirmation message contains the instructions on how to reply. This procedure will help reduce spam and other unauthorized mail. For security purposes, NO ONE should have any mail list (esp. the ITU-SG16 mail list) in their email address book. Most viruses use the address book information to propogate so we strongly request that you look through your address book and remove this and all other mail lists. This new procedure will be tried through the month of October. Please let me know (directly) if there's any mail list service that is being prohited or significantly inhibited. I'll be especially intested in long times (>10 minutes) before receiving the confirmation message. Our testing to date shows that listserv responds quickly. I was strongly(!) motivated to make this change after that last spam ("Excellent Colon Cleanser").

Re: Proposed Change to ITU-SG16 Mail List Procedures
by Chip Sharp 28 Sep '01

Most listserv software allows you to configure it so that only list members can send email to the list. If you configured the mail list in this manner, then only list members could send email. If someone sends spam, you remove that member from the list. Since most abusive spam is automatically generated, it is doubtful the originator will go through the trouble of subscribing to the list before sending. The downside is that people who monitor the list behind a mail exploder (or newsgroup) will not be able to post without subscribing individually. Anyway, this is another option to think of.

Release complete reason
by Francois Audet 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Hi guys, What is the meaning of releaseCompleteReason=invalidRevision in RELEASE COMPLETE? Does it mean invalid revision of H.225.0? Or is it more general (like invalid versionId in the vendorId field for example). I suspect it is supposed to mean invalid revision of H.225.0. It isn't documented in H.225.0 (or H.323). I also suspect that if you want to do anything fancy like rejecting a call based on vendorId/productId/versionId, you'd should use the nonStandardReason? Any views? ---- François AUDET, Nortel Networks mailto:audet@nortelnetworks.com <mailto:audet@nortelnetworks.com> , tel:+1 408 495 3756

Re: Proposed Change to ITU-SG16 Mail List Procedures
by Meyer, Greg W 26 Sep '01

"This looks to be heading towards a "vote" situation." Actually no, I wasn't looking for votes. I wanted to know if there were any issues with my proposal; if the proposed change would either prohibit or significantly inhibit the intended purpose of the mail list. I've seen many great responses and very much appreciate the feedback. A major consideration for any change is the ability to send and receive mail in a timely manner. Any change that requires more administrative time will surely impact timely service since this is not my primary job function and I travel frequently (periods of not having access). I think Chris' summation below is accurate and, with few exceptions, will impact the subscribers minimally while according some degree of immunity to spam and other unauthorized use of the mail list. I would like to implement the proposal for a 30-day trial period. At the end of the period (end of Oct), I will see how much spam and other unauthorized mail went through compared to the last 30 days and also ask for feedback from you (the subscribers). My intention is to make the ITU-SG16 mail list better, not worse. So if it becomes clear that there are significant issues during the trial, I will terminate it and return to the current method (open to all who send without the "authorization" step). Clearly, Mr. Okubo's point of Listserv's timely response period will determine whether the proposed change is acceptable. In my experience, the vast majority of Listserv responses are within a few minutes (usually less than one minute). However, I have seen some extended delays when major network issues are experienced (Code Red, Nimda, etc.). These have been the exceptions and the purpose of a 30-day trial is to determine if extended delays are more prevalent than I believe them to be. I will do some testing prior to going live with the change. My target start is Monday, Oct 1. Again, I appreciate your feedback and look forward to making the ITU-SG16 list better for your use.
