Many 
implementors are relying upon number of ports on a gateway to charge for 
licensing (one license per port).  Does H323 support a message (from the 
H.323 gateway to the Gatekeeper) which advertises number of ports/resources 
available on the gateway , say upon gateway reboot or restart ? By gateway port, 
I mean the termination of one circuit (one channel on a T1, for 
instance).
 
MGCP 
has a RSIP (Restart In Progress) message which solves this 
dilemma.
 
Any 
help would be appreciated.
