Chris, Thanks for your comment. CRV is unique just at one signalling link of a call (e.g. between EP A and GK; and may be different between GK and EP2 of the same call) . Since CallID may be preserved when calls are redirected (incl. transfer, forward,...), the CallID actually identifies the call scenario and not exactly one call. I think this is fine. A CallLegID would be a new identifier that is somehow in between CallID and CRV by identifying exactly one call (or call attempt) between two endpoints. We might think about for H.225.0v3. Regards, Karl

Karl,

I agree with your comments on CallID being preserved when calls are transferred. However...

...

As an alternative, we might add a new multilevel CallID (e.g. to H.225.0 v3) that consists of an identifier that indicates the "overal call" and a second identifier that indicates the call leg.

Isn't this the CRV, that's always been there?
