Re: H.323 Annex O

30 May 2000

      Hi, Everyone:

I fully agree with Ms. Levin's proposal.

Her proposal provides the opportunity to resolve all issues that I have been
talking about.

I personally appreciate the foresightedness of Ms. Levin.

Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy

Hello all!
As the editor of H.323 Annex O, I would like to expand Roni's precise
recap
and add a few words about the objectives of Annex O. (BTW, the full
version
appears in APC-1776 and TD-40a from Osaka meeting)
H.323 specification defines means for building multimedia communication
services over any Packet Based Network, among them Internet. However, in
order to deploy efficient and globally interoperable Internet based H.323
systems, definitions for using Internet protocols and technologies
(complementary to H.323) in context of H.323 Specification should be
defined.
This work will be organized in Annex O named "Internet protocols and
Technologies (complementary to H.323) in context of H.323 Specification".
The first material towards Annex O addresses the use of DNS technology in
context of H.323 and includes (1) definition of  H323-URL scheme and (2)
use
cases of H323-URL and other URL schemes in  H.323 messages and H.323
systems.
I hope and believe, that  H.246 new Appendix (H.323-SIP Interworking) and
corresponding attempts in IETF (listed by Mr. Roy) will define their
solution(s) in accordance with the procedures of Annex O.

2.      Singh and Schulzrinne, "Interworking Between SIP/SDP and
H.323",
draft- singh-sip-h323-00.txt, IETF, January 2000.
3.      C. Agbah, "SIP and H.323 Signaling Gateway."
It is expected that the SIP-H.323 Interworking RFC will be based
primarily
on the above documents along with suggestions made via emails and
conference
calls.
People could take many those contributions to the ITU-T SG16 for the
SIP-H.323 Interworking in the last SG16 February'00 meeting. However,
it
was
found that many companies and institutions that invented the
interworking
solution could not afford to provide the membership fees of the ITU-T,
and
some of them even could not afford to make a foreign trip for the
standard
meeting. But this has not been the case for the IETF where the email
has
been good enough to work for developing the standard.
Therefore, I am proposing the following to harmonize the work of these
two
organizations so that the complementary standards are created in the
ITU-T
SG16 and IETF:
1.      Let the IETF produce the SIP-H.323 interworking RFC, while we,
the
ITU-T SG16, will develop the H.323-TRIP and/or other IETF protocols
Interworking standard.
2.      Should the IETF do not develop the standard track SIP-H.323
RFC,
we,
the ITU-T SG16, might consider how IETF's SIP-H.323 Interworking
(Informational) RFC can be made a formal standard.
I hope this suggestion will be acceptable to all of us.

Roy,
The summary from Q14 states that SIP-H.323 interworking will be an
appendix
that will map messages for simple audio calls. and would defines
preferred
interworking mode. See the text bellow from TD-21b
Roni Even
6.1.1   APC-1776 - Terms of Reference for H.323 - Internet Interworking
[H.323-Internet Interworking Group] [joint with Q.12, Q.13]
Q.15 discussed some SIP matters - SDP does not currently provide enough
detail to describe H.263+ parameters.
Call signaling could be captured in an appendix to H.246. This appendix
would first address simple audio interworking, covering topics such as
mapping messages between H.323 and SIP. This is work that is currently in
progress in the IETF (not an official work item at this time, but an
unofficial task in the SIP working group). This appendix would define the
"preferred interworking mode" of H.323; we'd expect the SIP experts to
define the preferred interworking mode of SIP. We need to capture the
essence of each of the functional entities. Contributions are requested.
There was agreement that a new annex to H.323 to address how H.323 could
utilize a variety of internet services. Section 3 of APC-1776 is a good
basis for this work.

Subject:      H.323 Annex O
Mr. M. F. TOSCO
Chairman
ITU-T SG16 WP2
Dear Mr. TOSCO:
We are very much pleased to see that an H.323 Annex O (Internet
Protocols
and Technologies Complementary to H.323) has been opened in the joint
meeting of Q.13/16 and Q.13/16 held in Osaka, Japan on May 15-19, 2000.
It
is expected that this annex will cover the following topics:
1.      H.323-SIP Interworking
2.      Inteworking between H.323 and other IETF Protocols (e.g., TRIP,
etc.)
With respect to item 1 (H.323-SIP Interworking), it has been noted in
the
meeting report that the IETF is also working to develop an
Informational
RFC
(a standard track RFC is also a possibility) for the SIP-H.323
interworking.
The way this work in the IETF is progressing is as follows (I believe
that
the editor of H.323 Annex O is also fully aware of this work of the
IETF):
1.      SIP-H.323 Interworking Requirements RFC (Informational): by
July-December, 2000 (tentative)
2.      SIP-H.323 Interworking RFC (Informational): December 2000 -
March
2001 (tentative)
The Internet-Drafts and documents that are being provided to develop
the
RFC
are as follows:
1.      Agrawal, Roy, and Palawat, "SIP-H.323 Interworking
Requirements,"
draft-agrawal-roy-palawat-sip-h323-interworking-00.txt, IETF, June
