I am working on some (initial) text for the Implementers Guide. I will welcome additions/modifications at the Rapportours meeting......

Hi Tom,

I couldn't find it either and I suspect that it couldn't be in because the ITU is very reluctant to reference any non-ITU material. Furthermore, RFC1006 encompasses a lot more than just the bit(s) that are used for H.225.0, so even referring to this RFC does not clarify it all. I think some work should be spent on this.

I'd swear the reference to RFC1006 used to be in H.225.0 Appendix D, but I can't find it there now.

Hi Paul,

I received two responses to my question, one from you and one from Tom Taylor. The fact that there are at least two people that know about it (and several dozens more that have actually implemented the protocol stacks), makes it hard to believe that this is an "oversight" in the recommendation. In fact, not knowing about this makes it impossible to implement an interoperable protocol stack! Shouldn't action be taken to get this into the recommendation ASAP (e.g. through the Implementor's Guide)?

Regards,

Frank

TPKT is defined in RFC 1006. Not identifying TPKT was an oversight that has never been fixed in the Recommendation.
