On TD26 - Fast TCS and M/S negotiation in H.323v4

Paul,

I was afraid that this might happen.

The changes under discussion were agreed to in Osaka, with the participants
understanding the risks.  To not include it in v4 would be a substantive
change from the agreed content which I challenge as being beyond the
discression of the editor to make editorial changes.

There is a real problem in that keypad information must be sent before the
connect message.  This is needed to support network services in the U.S.
Because the H.245 rules require the exchange of TSC and master-slave before
any other messages may be sent, there is a significate delay after fast
connect before keypad digits may be sent.  In Osaka, several proposal were
submitted to solve this and other needed negotiation problems.  The agreed
solution was the proposal for which you have reservations.  This is needed
in the real world.

PLEASE! find a solutions that will not remove these changes!

Bob

Paul,

We agreed at the Osaka meeting to allow a SETUP to contain both the
fastStart and h245Control, but it has not been officially approved by the
ITU.

As it stands right now, I don't think I can agree to include it in H.323v4
on the grounds that it breaks backward compatibility with V2-- I just don't
see a clean solution here.

I'm opening to hearing more suggestions, but as you pointed out, there are
two issues:
  1) H.323v2 states explicitly that it is illegal
  2) There is no way to know what version to destination EP is before
     sending this illegal message
