Charles,
The examples about the secretary and her boss won't work with Chr*s because (i think), if the secretary and boss are both H.323 complaint then they should be able to register themselves (I disagree with this).
This is only half the story. I'm also saying that I don't believe
third-party
registration is necessary to achieve this, and that the relevant
intelligence
should reside in the gatekeeper.
In the case of the IWF (s*p-h323) this is not true.
No. In the case of the IWF I will send my setup message to the same entity
that
has been doing the registering. I'm not saying this won't work. I'm
merely
saying I don't understand why you consider this to be "third-party".
Sorry Chris, you are right. I was talking about H.323 complaince of all the parties considering the scenario with the IWF.
The real question for now is, what value will 3rd-party registration
bring
to an H.323 network. Once we have determined this, then we can proceed
to
agree on a good definition.
True. My suggested way forward: Focus on what you're trying to achieve, then work out whether anything
needs to
be added to the standards to achieve it. THEN start thinking about how to achieve it, and what terms should be used to describe it!
Yes, I agree.
Regards, Chris
