<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=110593618-13062001>The sourceInfor in
LRQ states that it should be the alias address of the originator of the LRQ (as
opposed to the originator of the call).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=110593618-13062001>One of the
consequence of this is that if an endpoint sends an ARQ to its gatekeeper, and
its gatekeeper can not resolve it, the LRQ that it will send to other
gatekeepers may not have enough information to resolve the address. For example,
if the number was a "local" number or a "national" number, the gatekeeper that
receives the LRQ will not have enough context (where is the originator of the
call) to resolve the address (like the country code of the calling user to
figure out the contry code of the called user).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=110593618-13062001>My take is that the
LRQ.sourceInfo should really reflect the alias address of the originator of the
call (the initial ARQ) as opposed to the gatekeeper that originated the LRQ. An
alternative would be to define a new field, but I'm not too keen on this
approach since it won't work until H.323v5...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
