Interesting question - anyone wants to take a stub at it? Thanks, Anatoli -----Original Message----- From: Xiaotao Wu [mailto:xiaotaow@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 11:41 AM To: Hvs@packetizer.com Subject: [HvS] H323 for Instant Message and Presence information support? In the article "H.323 versus SIP: A Comparison", seems a very important aspect of Internet Telephony prodcut (NOTE: not Telephony product) is missed -- how easily to integrate the H323 or SIP products with the other Internet services? Is there any effort in H323 on supporting Instant Message and presence information -- an important and convinient service over the Internet? Or we have to say that any H323 terminal has to have a separate messenger with it for IM and presence information, and any H323 proxy has to have a separate presence agent with it. For SIP, with the effort in SIMPLE working group, this can be easily solved, and it's easy to add a presence agent to a SIP proxy server.
