Jane,
I suspect that TD-26 has the procedural issues addressed-- it will just be a matter of specifying the usage of a different field.
I'll have to review what is written there, but the most obvious way to prevent race conditions is to specify that channels may not be opened via H.245 until Fast Connect is accepted, explicitly refused, or implicitly refused by not receiving a fastStart element up to and including CONNECT.

Hi All,
As far as my understanding goes, the purpose of prohibiting both fastStart and H.245 tunnel in SETUP was to avoid race conditions in two tunnels (fastStart can also be considered as a H.245 tunnel with different procedures). Here we are adding a new tunnel which will lead to more such race scenarios until proper care is taken in defining the procedures.
The decision on this should not be like a voice vote in Congress. The procedures should be clearly documented and circulated over the reflector and let people argue on those concrete documented steps.
Let us see, can we fix the problem introduced by introduction of fastStart?
Regards, Jane Hua
Paul- The problem is that inclusion of an H.245 message in the tunnel terminates FastStart according to section 8.2.1 of H.323. This could be "satisfied" by using the early H.245 element for the replys so that FastStart could proceed. At least this mechanism would make it easy to know that the responder (the called endpoint) was able to overlap FastStart and H.245.

H.323 only says that fastStart and h245Control cannot both be included
in
_Setup_, so it could indeed be included in the Setup-UUIE type.

Paul,
It would be required in the SETUP, CALL PROCeeding, ALERT, FACILITY, and CONNECT message in that all of these messages can be sent before Fast Start is completed or may not be present with Fast Start elements based on v2.
