Gary,

As H.323 editor can you comment on which of the following statements is more correct:

a) H.323 version 2 can be used with H.245 version 3 ONLY b) H.323 version 2 can be used with H.245 version 3 OR LATER.

My view is that it is undesirable to have to up-issue H.323 to a new version if all you want to do is make use of new features in H.245. Also, as part of third party re-routing, in the future it may occur that an H.323 version 3 endpoint originally connected to another H.323 version 3 endpoint will end up being connected to the H.245 from an H.323 version 2 endpoint. Hence assuming that the H.323 and H.245 versions are locked together does not work. However, I'm not sure if this aligns with the groups understanding. Do you have any comments?

Regards,

Pete
