Kaynam,

In the case of uni-directional logical channels, the portNumber field is
only available in the OpenLogicalChannel message, and so that is the one
that must be used in all cases.

I think that the terminal that receives the OpenLogicalChannel message
will have access to the calling party information in the Q.2931 message,
and so the port number will only be necessary to distinguish VCs opened
by the same terminal. And I would hope that that terminal could choose
portNumbers uniquely.

Best regards

Mike
