H.320 to H.323 Gateways: Will They Decompose?

[Taylor, Tom-PT [CAR:5V00-I:EXCH]]

This is addressed to the experts of Study Group 16, but has impact on the
priorities of work both for Megaco and for H.GCP.  The question, which I
raised obliquely in a previous exchange on co-location of H.245 signalling
with the Media Gateway function, is whether any vendor will actually create
a decomposed H.320-to-H.323 Gateway.  If not, we can stop worrying about how
to accommodate H.320 in the Media Gateway control protocol.
