G'Day Paul,
The text I currently have in the implementors' guide is: 2) Forced - indicates that the specified Terminations were taken abruptly out of service and any established connections associated with them may be lost. For non-Root terminations the MGC is responsible for cleaning up the context (if any) with which the failed termination is associated. At a minimum the termination shall be subtracted from the context. The termination serviceState should be "out of service". For the root termination the MGC can assume that all connections are lost on the MG and thus can consider that all the terminations have been subtracted.
Is this OK? I believe the text "may be lost" is a fact because you are ensure of the state of the connection. I also believe the distinction between the root and other terminations is important.
Cheers, Christian

Christian,
Proposed change to section 7.2.8 ServiceChange, 2) Forced: delete the text "and any established connections associated with them were lost" so that the paragraph now reads:
- Forced - indicates that the specified Terminations were taken out of
service. The MGC is responsible for cleaning up the context (if any) with which the failed termination is associated. At a minimum the termination shall be subtracted from the context. The termination serviceState should be "out of service".
Explanation: it is possible for the connection to still exist even if a termination is out of service. It does not matter if the connection associated with the termination is lost or not it only matters whether the termination is in service or out of service. From section 7.1.5 Termination State Descriptor: "The state "out of service" indiates that the termination cannot be used for traffic."
Regards, Paul

G'Day all,
I have come up with an interim version of the H.248 Implementors' Guide Additions v5. It contains additional correction to ones reviewed at the SG16 Launceston meeting.
It can be found at: ftp://standard.pictel.com/avc-site/Incoming/ filenames: TD-xxx_H248_Implementors_Additions_v5.doc TD-xxx_H248_Implementors_Additions_v5.pdf
Please check it for correctness and that it contains the points discussed on the list. There were also some corrections added that were not discussed on the list. If you have an issue please propose a solution giving the wording that you would like to see. As mentioned in the introduction this document is liable to change until final approval.
v4 was my own edition and was not published to any external network/list so please don't look for it.
Let the editor bashing begin.
Cheers, Christian
