This document mentions H.248 MG requirements for the
MIB. Is any
work being started on the MIB?

Subject: Megaco/H.248 reqs -06
The text below lists additions and clarifications made to
<draft-ietf-megaco-reqs-05.txt>, and now found in
<draft-ietf-megaco-reqs-06.txt>.
Until it is available in the IETF I-D directory, you can
get a copy of it
at: ftp://standards.nortelnetworks.com/megaco/docs/latest
It includes clarifications asked for by ITU-T SG16 at their Berlin
meeting.
If there are no more comments on this requirements draft,
then I would
ask Tom Taylor to send it for WG last call.
Note that there are references to fill in, and a few
editor's notes to
remove. I will do this in a few days if there are no other comments.

5.4. Signal/Event Processing and Scripting
l. Provide an extension mechanism for implementation
defined events
and signals with, for example, IANA registration
procedures. [ADD
FOLLOWING
SENTENCE:]It may be useful to have an Organizational
Identifier (i.e. ITU,
ETSI,
ANSI. . .) as part of the registration mechanism.
5.6. Test Support
b. Specifically support [DELETE103, 105, and 108 ] test
line operation
[ADD]
(e.g.
103, 105, 108).
5.8. Signalling Control
Establishment and provisioning of signalling backhaul channels (via
SIGTRAN for example is out of scope. [QUESTION: WHY was
this marked as out
of
scope?] Answer: it has been decided that this capability is not
fundamental
to the protocol, so can be kept out of scope, and handled
some other way.
6.1. Resource Status Management
c. Provide a method for the MGC to request that the MG release all
resources [ADD THE FOLLOWING] under the control of a
particular MGC [END
OF
ADD]
currently in use, or reserved, for any or all connections.
6.2. Resource Assignment
c. Allow the use of DNS names and IP addresses to identify MGs and
MGCs. [ADD FOLLOWING SENTENCE] This shall not preclude using other
identifiers
for MGs or MGCs when other non IP transport technologies
for the protocol
are
used.
8.1 MG-MGC Association Requirements
b. Allow multiple MGCs to send control messages to an MG.
Thus, the
protocol must allow control messages from multiple [DELETE] IP
[ADD]signalling
addresses to a single MG.
7.3 MIB Requirements
[ADD c.]
c. H.248 MG MIB must support spirit of H.341 by either the
MG, MGC, or
both
acting
together.
8.2. Performance Requirements
d. Support peak calling rates (e.g. in the order of 140
calls/second) at
the
MGC on a moderately loaded [DELETE IP] IP network.
11. Requirements specific to particular bearer types
Table 1: Bearer Types and Applications
Bearer Type Applications Transit Network
================================================================
[ADD FR]
Multimedia H.323 H.323 Multimedia
IP, ATM, FR
Gateway and MCU
[REPLACE SS7 with IP, ATM, FR]
Multimedia H.320 H.323 GW and MCU ISDN, IP, ATM, FR
11.1.1. Requirements for TDM PSTN (Circuit)
b. Missing - inconsistent numbering - renumber section
11.1.3.3. Media adaptation
b. Allow [ADD AAL1] AAL1/AAL2 multiple narrow-band calls
to be mapped to
a
single
VCC.
[ADD For AAL2] For AAL2, these calls are
differentiated within each
VCC
by a AAL2
channel
identifier. An AAL2 connection may span more than 1
VCC and transit
AAL2 switching devices. ATMF standards are working on
an end-to-end
AAL2 connection identifier as part of the AAL2 signalling
set.[REPLACE
LAST
SENTENCE WITH:] ITU Q.2630.1 defines an end-to-end
identifier the Served
User
Generated Reference (SUGR). It carries information from the
originating
user
of the
AAL2 signalling protocol to the terminating user transparently and
unmodified.
11.2.10. Multipoint Control Units
[ADD g.]
g. The ability for the MG to function as an H.323 MP, and
for the MGC to
function
as an H.323 MC, connected by this protocol (MEGACOP/H.248).
It should be
possible
for audio, data, and video MG/MPs to be physically separate
while being
under the
control of a single MGC/H.323 MC.
