Danail,
Yes, it is safe. I mean, it can't be any worse than it already is, right? :-) H.323v1, v2, and v3 EPs _should_ support this new procedure. However--and this is important--they are still compliant even if they don't whereas v4 EPs would not be compliant. For example, our v3 EPs do not currently obey this procedure, but they are still compliant.

Since the proposed procedure simply defines implementation details at application level and redifines the meaning of caps which already exist in H.323v2, there is nothing that would prevent an H.323v2 compliant endpoint to make use of this procedure for enforcing symmetric operation. Is it safe to recommend this procedure as the prefered approach for H.323v2 endpoints as well?
