Vladimir, With H.450 apdus to be sent within H.323 versions up to v3 your may choose not to include the Facility-UUIE construct at all (but set the "empty" h323-message-body choice instead). The disadvantage with this is that for such messages you miss the Call Identifier. Therefore, it has been agreed to make the Facility-UUIE mandatory with H.323v4, even if only H.450 would have to be transmitted in the H.225.0 message (mainly to get the call identifier). Since the FacilityReason is mandatory in Facility-UUIE, you have to select a reason that fits best to the situation. E.g. use "routeCallToMc" if your scenario is an H.450.2 Transfer to an MCU or use starth245 in conjunction with a FACILITY that also contains an H.450.3 callReroute.Inv if this is what you want to achieve, etc. If none of the reasons are suitable, the new value "transportedInformation" I guess is intended to be used. Value undefinedReason should be accepted always. However, H.225.0 v4 clause 7.4 (third para, last sentense) is misleading, since someone may interpret that the only FacilityReason that is allowed in conjunction with transmitted H.450 apdus may be the new value transportedInformation, which would limit combination of applications significantly. Therefore, the sentense should be rewored to say: "... In H.225.0 version 4 and higher, a sender of an H.450 apdu shall include a Facility-UUIE carrying a callIdentifier field in every Facility message. The FacilityReason field should be set to value transportedInformation if no other reason fields are suitable." I propose to add this clarification to the v4 Implementers Guide.

For example CallRerouting.Invoke?
