Karl,

I think that Francois's enhanced text will also help.

Francois, Paul, Bob and others,

Please refer to section 6.1.2 of the most recent H.323 Implementers Guide (TD-031 PLEN) of the Brazil meeting. This IG section clarified previous inconsistencies in H.323 sections 7.8.2.1, 7.8.3.1 and 7.8.4.1 compared to H.225.0. I.e. the mentioned three H.323 sections have been updated for clarification on PNP number usage.

I just realize a contradiction in H.323v4 and H.225.0v4 concerning the encoding of "private telephone numbers" (i.e., the type we all use at work): * H.225.0v4 says that "Private telephone numbers" shall be encoded in the UUIE as private numbers, and NOT in the Q.931 information elements (Calling party IE, etc.). Let's call this the "Bob method". See Table 18/H.225.0 Note 1. * H.323v4 says that the Q.931 information element is used for "telephone numbers", and that the UUIE is used for things that are not telephone numbers. Let's call this the "Glenn method". See H.323v4/7.8.2.1 and 7.8.2.2. There is no conflict with both method for "public" telephone number, but there is a conflict for "private" telephone numbers.

Which method is right, Bob's or Glenn's?
