I've made my plea to retain the G.723.1 payload format and codepoint, and would suggest that other vendors do the same. We may have some data collected from the IMTC H.323 interop test events that would reflect the number of vendors that have successfully interoperated using G.723.1 (and probably H.263, possibly the GSM coders), and might be able to provide those numbers. But, it's better for vendors to identify themselves.

It's simply a matter of implementors reporting. The key point is that the Working Group Chair has to know exactly which features of the RFC were tested and which not. In the case of the G723 payload type, there are no options to worry about: it's simply a matter of different implementations agreeing on RTP payload type 4 and subsequently transmitting RTP-encapsulated packets in accordance with G.723.1, using one frame (30 ms) per packet or such other value as specified by the A:ptime attribute.

Francois,

I believe you are correct. However, I am not familiar with how the IETF determines "interoperable implementations". Is is simply a matter of vendors reporting with whom they interoperate or is there some IETF-sponsored interop event that needs to be attended?

Guys,This payload type = 4 for G.723.1 has been in H.225.0 for many years. Don't we have many interoperable H.323 products using PT=4 for G.723?Won't it be a major interoperability problem if this payload type is removed from the A/V specification?????> -----Original Message-----

Dear colleagues,

please see in the attached that audio payload formats for G.723.1, called there "G723", has been removed from the latest RTP A/V profile because of the lack on information that interoperable implementations of them exist. Other audio payload formats have also been removed, e.g. H263 (this is not the same as H263-2000), GSM-HR, GSM-EFR, If you know of such implementations, there is still some VERY short time (less than 2 weeks) before the IETF issues the repeat WG last call. Please provide any such information directly to Stephen Casner casner@acm.org.

Best regards, Simao.
