H.248 Implementors' Guide Additions V5 Update

[Christian Groves]

G'Day Paul,

I think that the servicechange forced really does indicate that
something is wrong so the connections may well be lost. So I'm a little
hesitant removing this text. It is correct that out-of-service indicates
the termination cannot be used for traffic and they may well be because
the termination has failed and lost any connection.

I've forwarded this to the Megaco list for comment also.

Regards, Christian
