Support of H.248 in H.323 - No events?

[Bob Gilman]

Frank-
The stimuli (signals to the endpoint and events to the
gatekeeper/feature server)
are carried in H.248 SignalsDescriptors and ObservedEventsDescriptors
encapsulated
in a stimulusControl element of the H323-UU-PDU for H.323 Annex L
signalling.
The H248SignalsDescriptor defined in the ServiceControlDescriptor may be
used to send
an announcement to an endpoint for service control.  See TD-24a from
Osaka for a
description.
Both Annex L and service control use the H248packagesDescriptor to
identify which
packages the endpoint supports.
