> Subject:      Megaco/H.gcp conference call
>
> In order to continue the cooperation between SG16 and the IETF, Brian Hill
> and I would like to schedule another Megaco/H.gcp conference call so that
> we
> have rough consensus on what Brian Rosen will put into megaco-protocol-02
> (Internet-Draft cutoff date for IETF Oslo meeting is June 25/99).
>
> In Megaco we have agreed to produce a completed audio-only version of the
> megaco protocol for June 25th, but that this version would take into
> consideration the proposals for multimedia in SG16's H.gcpSantiago so that
> they can easily be added in a future version. We need to have an
> "implementable" version of the Megaco protocol by the July Oslo meeting,
> or
> we will have missed the boat.
>
> It is expected that the megaco-protocol-02 would be an implementable audio
> version of the Megaco/H.gcp protocol, and that SG16 would be able to add
> to
> the protocol syntax, in a backwards compatible way, all that is necessary
> for multimedia.
>
> Proposed discussion topics:
>
> 1) Termination naming - hierarchical or logical, or a combination with
> TerminationId + Bearer?
>
> 2) handling multplexing terminations - as in H.gcp? or as a new context
> type?
>
> 3) allowing one BearerDescriptor, and multiple MediaDescriptors per
> termination - acceptable?
>
> 4) decision on transport
>
> 5) proposal for tagging the MediaDescriptor with its encoding: SDP or
> H.GCP
>
> 6) proposal for text vs binary encoding of the protocol
> (draft-huitema-megaco-sdp-discuss-01.txt)
>
> 7) multimedia vs monomedia contexts (related to #3)
