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

Francois,
Tunneling and Fast Connect are orthogonal to each other. I can't find where
v2 or v3 says that they cannot be done in parallel. As a matter of fact,
this is how we implemented it. We are now very aggressive with call setup.
What specific problems are there with doing them at the same time? We
haven't found any.
Paul

Yes, a few comments:
1 It seems that all current implementations that we could think of
would simply ignore the tunnelling information if the fastStart
element is present. This means, that there would be no
interoperability problems. Fast start would be sucessfull, but not
tunnelling, which would mean that tunnelling would have to happen
after the SETUP message, as per H.323v2 and v3.
2 There is a small possibility that an implementation would acutally
give priority to the tunnelling information instead of the fastStart
element (v2 and v3 don't say what would happen if they are present,
they
just say not to do it). In that particular case, the fastStart would
fail
but the tunnelling would be successful. So the worst case scenario is
that
fastStart fails, but "fast tunnelling" is successful. This doesn't
seem to
me to be a real interoperability problem. In any case, it seems that
case
1 is much more likely.
