<BR><FONT size=2>Subject: [IPTEL] CPL: H.323 issues</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT size=2>The primary area still missing in the CPL spec is H.323
work. I'm</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>unfortunately not very knowlegeable
about this, so if some H.323 experts</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>could assist with
this it would be very helpful.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Here are the general issues that I feel need to be
addressed:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>1. I understand that work is in progress to define an
H.323 url as an annex</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>of the H.323
specification. What is the status of this? Are copies of</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>available? Will these URLs be appropriate to use in CPL
<location> and</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2><address-switch>
tags?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>2. Is the unpacking of H.323 addresses as specified for
CPL's</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2><address-switch> address subfield matching
correct, and complete for at</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>least a useful subset of
H.323 addresses?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>3. What free-form strings does H.323 signalling carry
that a CPL should be</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>able to match? I understand
H.225 has a "data" string, but it's not clear</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>to me
what it's for.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>4. Is there some H.323 counterpart to SIP caller
preferences and callee</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>capabilities that should either
be used or mapped into CPL, for <lookup> and</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2><remove-location>?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Since Our Esteemed Working Group Chair has expressed a strong
interest in</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>moving CPL along to Proposed Standard
soon, these points *need* to be</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>addressed. If no
one else comments on them, I'll have to guess based on my</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>own (very limited) understanding of H.323, which will probably mean a
much</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>weaker CPL specification all around.</FONT> </P>
