Hi All,

H.323 requires all endpoints to transmit an IRR message in response to an IRQ message from a Gatekeeper (or some other entity), and also to send unsolicited IRR messages to the Gatekeeper's RAS address at specific intervals if requested by the Gatekeeper in the ACF or RCF messages.

As I understand it, an endpoint must provide the details of all active calls in a single IRR response if the callReferenceValue field in the IRQ is set to 0. This is clearly not possible if the endpoint supports thousands (or even hundreds!) of simultaneous calls. Can anyone provide any guidance on what to do in such a situation?

Also, in the case of unsolicited IRR messages, I can't find anything which states that an endpoint must provide details of all active calls in each unsolicited IRR message. Therefore, an endpoint can either send a separate IRR message for each call, or it combine details of a number of calls (but not necessarily all) into each IRR message. Is my interpretation correct?

Thanks,
Mohamed
