<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with you that what we should do is
modify the text to be a bit more tolerant of what "source" means. It might
be the source Gatekeeper or it might be the source endpoint's alias. It is
possible to find either there today (since either an endpoint or a Gatekeeper
may source an LRQ), so the text should reflect that.</FONT></DIV>

<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>
