H.323 Annex N draft

[Roy, Radhika R, ALARC]

Hi, Mike and All:

I did not have the time go through the whole document yet. However, a quick
look into the document provides me to point out about the scope as follows:

1. The contributions were provided for mapping of H.323 QOS over the network
layer QOS. For example, IETF's DiffServ, IntServ/RSVP, and MPLS, and ATM QOS
classes: CBR, VBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VRB, and ABR. Those contributions were
accepted in the last Red Bank (Oct'99) meeting. Accordingly, the then editor
Rich Bowen produced the TD in the last SG16 meeting.

So, the scope of H.323 QOS mapping over the network layer QOS (IP, ATM)
shall be there.

However, if you have any disagreement over the decision made in the last Red
Bank meeting, please submit a contribution in the upcoming OSAKA meeting
(May'00), we can discuss. Until the decision is made based on contributions,
the scope of the document shall remain the same as submitted by Mr. Rich
Bowen.

2. So far the backward compatibility is concerned, it shall not only
consider Appendix II, but it shall also consider ATM QOS provided in H.323
Annex C. Accordingly, both backward compatibilities should be included as
per norm of the ITU standards.

BTW, if you would keep the text the way I suggested, I would think that I
did not have to provide my comments as stated above.

Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy, AT&T

PS: I am yet to finish reading the whole document. Hope to provide more
comments later.
