Re: Development of Decomposed Gateway Architecture
Most of the work items are grundge work to start with. I'm willing to tackle them until I start to run into issues that need others' comment. How would you like to start on the H.245 abstraction (interface ?:e)?

Tom, Sorry to respond so late to this. In the interest of keeping my mailbox close to manageable I deal with the quickies first. Has anyone responded to this or are you taking these work items on yourself? I am wondering whether there is something here that you want me to tackle.

This note is to point out the follow-up work required in the light of
the
Monterey meeting's adoption of the revised Gateway functional
architecture
as shown in TD-34 (Monterey). I am prepared to contribute to that work. People may wish to comment on the priorities of definition of the
different
interfaces.
First point: I followed up Bob Callaghan's pointers to the layer 4 interfaces applicable to our J:c interface (per the TD-34 definition).
The
relevant references are the SDL charts shown in Annex A of Q.931 and
Annex H
of Q.764 respectively. These show the messages exchanged over the J:c interface for their respective protocols, but do not show their content.
So
that's one work item.
Second point: Annex A of Q.931 shows messages going between a Q.931
Protocol
Control block and two higher blocks: Call Control and Resource Control respectively. Annex H of Q.764 is more complicated: it shows Call
Control
above the ISUP User Part, but three blocks within it: Signalling
Procedure
Control, Call Processing Control, and Circuit Supervision Control. I
think
we should have a Call Control block in our picture, at the same level as
our
High-Layer Resource Control. I also think the ISUP Circuit Supervision Control should report into High-Layer Resource Control rather than Call Control.
Third point: the messaging on our ?:b interface can probably be derived
from
the Q.931 SDL. The content also has to be worked out. Another couple
of
work items.
Final point: how to determine the content of the ?:e (abstracted H.245) interface and where it should flow? Definitely some detailed work items here.
