My understanding of both MGCP and MEGACO is that neither has a mechanism to
distinguish multihomed interfaces from redundant MGCs/MGs.  In MGCP the list
of IP addresses returned for a given domain name may be a set of
(multihomed) interfaces, a set of redundant MGCs/MGs, or some combination of
both.  In MEGACO the provisioned list of MGCs in an MG has this exact same
property.  

I do see the fact that MEGACO MGCs have no mechanism to contact MGs on
multihomed interfaces as a significant deficiency.  I agree that mapping a
list IP addresses returned from a domain name to the set of interfaces
supported by a MEGACO association would be benefical, but the problem of how
to distinguish multihomed interfaces from redundant MGs/MGCs still remains
unclear to me (for both MEGACO and MGCP).

I'm not sure the capabilities of MGCP are relevant to this discussion, but since
you asked:
- The set of IP addresses associated with a domain name, and for which
retransmission and failover procedures are defined in MGCP, are assumed to
belong to the same logical MGC. The MGC may be one or more machines each with
one or more interfaces.
- In order to failover to a backup MGC, "vanilla" MGCP would have the backup MGC
contact the MG.
- Alternatively, the NotifiedEntityList parameter defined in the MGCP Redirect
and Reset package (draft-foster-mgcp-redirect-02.txt) allows you to provide a
set of domain names the MG can contact (as opposed to just one in the
NotifiedEntity parameter). The multiple domain names can either represent the
same and/or  multiple different MGCs. The key with this extension is that the
domain names are contacted in an ordered fashion.

See above for MGCP. For Megaco, I agree and would propose that something along
the lines of what has been defined for MGCP could be used.

Folks,

Thanks to all those who provided extensive comments on the Megaco MIB. The
next revision of the draft is now available.

The major differences to the older draft include:

     1. Added medGwyGatewayControllerId as an additional index to the
medGwyGatewayControllerTable.
     2. Modified the usage of TimeTicks to TimeStamp which is now being
widely used and is more useful. 
     3. Converted the Integer32's to Unsigned32 wherever appropriate. 
     4. Added few more Textual Conventions that could be imported to vendor
specific MIBs. 
     5. Corrected few MIB syntax errors. 
     6. Reformatted the entire document to be compliant with the new IETF
MIB guidelines from draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-01.txt

I have made sure that the MIB is backward compatible at most of the places
so that the existing implementations are not affected that much.

Please review the MIB and let me know if there are any comments/questions.
 
Thanks,
Bala

Subject: [Megaco] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Media Gateway Control Working Group of the
IETF.

	Title		: Megaco MIB
	Author(s)	: B. Pitchandi, I. Akramovich, C. Brown, M. Holdrege
	Filename	: draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt
	Pages		: 35

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use
with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In particular,
it defines objects for use by the MEGACO/H.248 protocol operating on Media
Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers. These objects can be used to manage
the network containing Media Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt

To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to 
ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Folks,

Thanks to all those who provided extensive comments on the Megaco MIB. The
next revision of the draft is now available.

The major differences to the older draft include:

     1. Added medGwyGatewayControllerId as an additional index to the
medGwyGatewayControllerTable.
     2. Modified the usage of TimeTicks to TimeStamp which is now being
widely used and is more useful. 
     3. Converted the Integer32's to Unsigned32 wherever appropriate. 
     4. Added few more Textual Conventions that could be imported to vendor
specific MIBs. 
     5. Corrected few MIB syntax errors. 
     6. Reformatted the entire document to be compliant with the new IETF
MIB guidelines from draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-01.txt

I have made sure that the MIB is backward compatible at most of the places
so that the existing implementations are not affected that much.

Please review the MIB and let me know if there are any comments/questions.
 
Thanks,
Bala

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Media Gateway Control Working Group of the
IETF.

	Title		: Megaco MIB

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use
with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In particular,
it defines objects for use by the MEGACO/H.248 protocol operating on Media
Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers. These objects can be used to manage
the network containing Media Gateways and Media Gateway Controllers.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-megaco-mib-05.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Hi List

I had a question regarding a Handoff scenario.

Consider the following scenario :
1.An active association exists between MGC1 (primary MGC)  and  MG1
(primary MG)
2.Now there is some problem in MGC1 and so it  sends a handoff request to
the MG1
with MgcIDToTry set to that of the secondary MGC- MGC2
3. On receiving this request, MG1 sends a response and then generates a
Service Change
 request to MGC2 with method as handoff.
Now heres the problem...
4. Before MG1 receives the response from MGC2, it goes down abruptly, and
MG2 (standby)
 comes up.

My concern is that from MG2's perspective, there are two pieces of
information which
it needs to convey to MGC2:
1) MGC1 directed Handoff
2) The MG itself went down briefly (method : disconnected)

Should it send both, or just one of them.
I feel that just sending a Service Change with  method 'Handoff' would
suffice.
MGC2 can audit and find the MG's termination status.

Please confirm
Regards
Shiv Kumar

Hi,

Can someone update me on the status of the following packages -

CAS packages (draft-manyfolks-megaco-caspackage-02)
   This draft was set to expire in Sep 2002. Has it been replaced
   by a newer version or a RFC?

Line Test packages (H.248.17)
   Are the packages defined in this package still in a state of flux
   or has it been finally approved?

3GPP packages (3GPP TS 29.232 V4.4.0 (2002-03))
   When is this document expected to be approved?


Thanks,
Rashim

Hi,

Can someone update me on the status of the following packages -

CAS packages (draft-manyfolks-megaco-caspackage-02)
   This draft was set to expire in Sep 2002. Has it been replaced
   by a newer version or a RFC?

Line Test packages (H.248.17)
   Are the packages defined in this package still in a state of flux
   or has it been finally approved?

3GPP packages (3GPP TS 29.232 V4.4.0 (2002-03))
   When is this document expected to be approved?


Thanks,
Rashim

Hi

The latest 3GPP TS 29.232 version is 5.5.0.
These is a Release 5 spec.
You can get it from
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/specs/latest/Rel-5/29_series/

Christian, you have mentioned v5.2.0. Is this a typo or does the MEGACO WG
separately approve the 3G Specs related to MEGACO ?

Regards
Shiv

Hi

The latest 3GPP TS 29.232 version is 5.5.0.
These is a Release 5 spec.
You can get it from
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/specs/latest/Rel-5/29_series/

Christian, you have mentioned v5.2.0. Is this a typo or does the MEGACO WG
separately approve the 3G Specs related to MEGACO ?

Regards
Shiv

G'Day Shiv,

5.2.0 was a typo, 5.5.0 is the latest. The Megaco WG does not approve 3G Specs
related to Megaco. ITU SG16 produces a Packages Guide Supplement which usually
contains a description and reference to 3GPP packages.

Dear All,
We are working on a Trunking Gatway product-line. Not surprisingly we have
chosen Megaco as the only stable controlling protocol. In the process we had
some issues with respect to the provisioning in this network architecture. I
can share a few observations with you

> Presently in this network Network Mangement mechanism is largely
undefined. We need to have a fixed line of demarkation between provisioning
and control.
> More dependent you are on provisioning less robust you become.
> Local gateway hardware need not be reflected on the softswitch.
                                          -Please comment on these
observations.

In a multi-vendor network architecture The last point seemed important and
one way to achieve this with megaco is by standardizing the naming
convention for a particular line of products. As we know, to do that we have
to come out with a proper profile for the same. Although defining profiles
is not a work-item under the base protocol definition process - I think we
have to start this parallel effort of defining profiles. In this regard we
have to understand that we need profiles To Make It Happen.
 We have come out with such a profile for trunking gateway which is quite
different from the MSF defined profile. Can we push our trunking gateway
profile with IETF? If yes can anybody suggest how to move with that effort?

Hi Megaco-List-members,

a MG may register (not speaking from cold start) according to the shown
examples below using the ServicChangeMethod=Restart on its Root termination.
I didn't found any statement in the specification which contextID shall be
used either NULL or ALL wildcard.
Therefore it seems to be possible to start a correct registration procedure
using the ALL wildcard too, as shown in example2 
Concerns about exampel1:
However an MG may be assembled as pure packet oriented node and offers only
ephemeral resources, without any circuted switched resources.
I think this kind of MG will not be aware to process resources in NULL
Context?
Concerns about example2:
An alternative would be the use of ALL wildcard , but as far as I understood
the ALL wildcard does not include resources which
are in the NULL context.
However, which registration may be more appropriate. The example flows shows
the H248 uses as ContextID = NULL and in comparison e.g with
the ITU-T Q1950, which defined ALL wildcard for that procedure.
I think most implementations uses the NULL for MGW registration, but a
statement in the IG would help to close this ambiguity, at least that both
methods
would have the same outcome.
Comments ?
Franz
example 1:
MEGACO/1 [124.124.124.222]
Transaction = 9998 {
    Context = - {
        ServiceChange = ROOT {Services {
            Method=Restart, 
            ServiceChangeAddress=55555, Profile=ResGW/1}
        }
    }
}
example 2: 
MEGACO/1 [124.124.124.222]
Transaction = 9998 {
    Context = * {
        ServiceChange = ROOT {Services {
            Method=Restart, 
            ServiceChangeAddress=55555, Profile=ResGW/1}
        }
    }

Hi Megaco-List-members,

a MG may register (not speaking from cold start) according to the shown
examples below using the ServicChangeMethod=Restart on its Root termination.
I didn't found any statement in the specification which contextID shall be
used either NULL or ALL wildcard.
Therefore it seems to be possible to start a correct registration procedure
using the ALL wildcard too, as shown in example2 
Concerns about exampel1:
However an MG may be assembled as pure packet oriented node and offers only
ephemeral resources, without any circuted switched resources.
I think this kind of MG will not be aware to process resources in NULL
Context?
Concerns about example2:
An alternative would be the use of ALL wildcard , but as far as I understood
the ALL wildcard does not include resources which
are in the NULL context.
However, which registration may be more appropriate. The example flows shows
the H248 uses as ContextID = NULL and in comparison e.g with
the ITU-T Q1950, which defined ALL wildcard for that procedure.
I think most implementations uses the NULL for MGW registration, but a
statement in the IG would help to close this ambiguity, at least that both
methods
would have the same outcome.
Comments ?
Franz
example 1:
MEGACO/1 [124.124.124.222]
Transaction = 9998 {
    Context = - {
        ServiceChange = ROOT {Services {
            Method=Restart, 
            ServiceChangeAddress=55555, Profile=ResGW/1}
        }
    }
}
example 2: 
MEGACO/1 [124.124.124.222]
Transaction = 9998 {
    Context = * {
        ServiceChange = ROOT {Services {
            Method=Restart, 
            ServiceChangeAddress=55555, Profile=ResGW/1}
        }
    }
}

Hello Franz,

The revised Q.1950 now lists the context ID as "value not significant". When
termination id "root" is used the value of context id is insignificant as you
are talking about the gateway as a whole.

The day this was written, I was on the operating table.  Today is the first day I 
have been in a position to respond.

Kevin's frustration with the IETF process is my fault for not providing adequate 
leadership.  For that I apologize.  It stems to some extent from a confusion of 
objectives in my own working life.  That said:
-- the IESG has been unwilling to expand the Megaco charter to include packages
-- at this point, the IESG is ready to terminate the Working Group (BUT KEEP THE LIST).

It is up to us to determine a working relationship with the ITU-T that will keep the 
work moving in everybody's best interest.  I should point out that SG 16 itself is 
not having an easy time of it -- attendance has dropped drastically in the last 
couple of years.  The ITU-T is approaching one of those intervals when it considers 
reorganization, and we could find ourselves dealing with a different Study Group 
next year.

I'll ask a couple of questions to shape discussion of how we should proceed from here:

-- It seems self-evident to me that the Megaco list should continue to be the 
primary source of material for the Implementor's Guide.  Any disagreement?

-- Should we ask the ITU-T to allow us to derive I-Ds from new ITU-T Annexes so they 
can be reviewed by IETF process?  I did that sort of transcription early on, but 
didn't continue because I wasn't sure our agreement with the ITU-T allowed it.

-- Package documents in general have been individual drafts, since we couldn't add 
them to the WG charter.  This means the authors were free to submit them to the IESG 
without my intervention.  With that in mind, does anyone believe that there is an 
IETF role for creation of package documents independently of the ITU-T?

The day this was written, I was on the operating table.  Today is the first day I 
have been in a position to respond.

Kevin's frustration with the IETF process is my fault for not providing adequate 
leadership.  For that I apologize.  It stems to some extent from a confusion of 
objectives in my own working life.  That said:
-- the IESG has been unwilling to expand the Megaco charter to include packages
-- at this point, the IESG is ready to terminate the Working Group (BUT KEEP THE LIST).

It is up to us to determine a working relationship with the ITU-T that will keep the 
work moving in everybody's best interest.  I should point out that SG 16 itself is 
not having an easy time of it -- attendance has dropped drastically in the last 
couple of years.  The ITU-T is approaching one of those intervals when it considers 
reorganization, and we could find ourselves dealing with a different Study Group 
next year.

I'll ask a couple of questions to shape discussion of how we should proceed from here:

-- It seems self-evident to me that the Megaco list should continue to be the 
primary source of material for the Implementor's Guide.  Any disagreement?

-- Should we ask the ITU-T to allow us to derive I-Ds from new ITU-T Annexes so they 
can be reviewed by IETF process?  I did that sort of transcription early on, but 
didn't continue because I wasn't sure our agreement with the ITU-T allowed it.

-- Package documents in general have been individual drafts, since we couldn't add 
them to the WG charter.  This means the authors were free to submit them to the IESG 
without my intervention.  With that in mind, does anyone believe that there is an 
IETF role for creation of package documents independently of the ITU-T?

The day this was written, I was on the operating table.  Today is the first
day I 
have been in a position to respond.

[KJBII] Welcome back!

Kevin's frustration with the IETF process is my fault for not providing
adequate 
leadership.  For that I apologize.  It stems to some extent from a confusion
of 
objectives in my own working life.  That said:
-- the IESG has been unwilling to expand the Megaco charter to include
packages
-- at this point, the IESG is ready to terminate the Working Group (BUT KEEP
THE LIST).

It is up to us to determine a working relationship with the ITU-T that will
keep the 
work moving in everybody's best interest.  I should point out that SG 16
itself is 
not having an easy time of it -- attendance has dropped drastically in the
last 
couple of years.  The ITU-T is approaching one of those intervals when it
considers 
reorganization, and we could find ourselves dealing with a different Study
Group 
next year.

I'll ask a couple of questions to shape discussion of how we should proceed
from here:

-- It seems self-evident to me that the Megaco list should continue to be
the 
primary source of material for the Implementor's Guide.  Any disagreement?

[KJBII] The list has always been the definitive source, so I see no reason
to change this.

-- Should we ask the ITU-T to allow us to derive I-Ds from new ITU-T Annexes
so they 
can be reviewed by IETF process?  I did that sort of transcription early on,
but 
didn't continue because I wasn't sure our agreement with the ITU-T allowed
it.

[KJBII] I believe we should.  Would the IETF allow the annexes to become
standards track docs?

-- Package documents in general have been individual drafts, since we
couldn't add 
them to the WG charter.  This means the authors were free to submit them to
the IESG 
without my intervention.  With that in mind, does anyone believe that there
is an 
IETF role for creation of package documents independently of the ITU-T?

[KJBII] Since nothing stops anyone from creating a package, I do not see
where this would be a problem.  However(!), it seems to me that the mandate
for standardizing packages has fallen to the ITU.  So, I would think that if
someone wants to create a package and publish it informationally, then the
IETF is fine.  If they would like to take it forward as a standard way of
performing whatever the package does, then it goes through the ITU.

Subject: Re: [Megaco] Megaco CAS support


The day this was written, I was on the operating table.  Today is the first
day I 
have been in a position to respond.

[KJBII] Welcome back!

Kevin's frustration with the IETF process is my fault for not providing
adequate 
leadership.  For that I apologize.  It stems to some extent from a confusion
of 
objectives in my own working life.  That said:
-- the IESG has been unwilling to expand the Megaco charter to include
packages
-- at this point, the IESG is ready to terminate the Working Group (BUT KEEP
THE LIST).

It is up to us to determine a working relationship with the ITU-T that will
keep the 
work moving in everybody's best interest.  I should point out that SG 16
itself is 
not having an easy time of it -- attendance has dropped drastically in the
last 
couple of years.  The ITU-T is approaching one of those intervals when it
considers 
reorganization, and we could find ourselves dealing with a different Study
Group 
next year.

I'll ask a couple of questions to shape discussion of how we should proceed
from here:

-- It seems self-evident to me that the Megaco list should continue to be
the 
primary source of material for the Implementor's Guide.  Any disagreement?

[KJBII] The list has always been the definitive source, so I see no reason
to change this.

-- Should we ask the ITU-T to allow us to derive I-Ds from new ITU-T Annexes
so they 
can be reviewed by IETF process?  I did that sort of transcription early on,
but 
didn't continue because I wasn't sure our agreement with the ITU-T allowed
it.

[KJBII] I believe we should.  Would the IETF allow the annexes to become
standards track docs?

-- Package documents in general have been individual drafts, since we
couldn't add 
them to the WG charter.  This means the authors were free to submit them to
the IESG 
without my intervention.  With that in mind, does anyone believe that there
is an 
IETF role for creation of package documents independently of the ITU-T?

[KJBII] Since nothing stops anyone from creating a package, I do not see
where this would be a problem.  However(!), it seems to me that the mandate
for standardizing packages has fallen to the ITU.  So, I would think that if
someone wants to create a package and publish it informationally, then the
IETF is fine.  If they would like to take it forward as a standard way of
performing whatever the package does, then it goes through the ITU.

It seems to me that the outlines of a solution have been sketched in Fernando's 
note.  Al the information to support multi-homing and the associated behaviour can 
be introduced through a set of ROOT properties that can be either provisioned on the 
MG or set there after the initial control association has been established.

Thanks for your hard work, Bala and all.

It would be good if we could take this to Last Call shortly.  I'll look forward to 
doing that at the beginning of June unless reasons appear to prevent it.

Tom,

I don't quite understand, can you elaborate on this statement? I was 
trying to make the point that, for multi-homing, we could allow 2 or 
more IP addresses per MG and/or MGC, which would make it simpler to 
establish for example one SCTP association using all of them.

Initially, Fernando said that 1 MEGACO control association = 1 IP 
address, and implied that 2 IP addresses would be viewed as 2 distinct 
MGCs. But in this case:
- explaining which MGC pairs with which other MGC as multi-homed 
entities is more difficult,
- plus, if an SCTP association uses more than 1 IP address (which it 
should, in order to take advantage of multi-homing), then it would mean 
that 1 control association spans 2 MGCs, which seems to contradict the 
model. Handoff and failover wouldn't work in this case, because MEGACO 
does not control the selection of the IP addresses withing the SCTP layer.

Therefore, what do you think about the number of IP addresses per 
MG/MGC? If SCTP is allowed to use only one IP address per entity, then 
why would one ever use SCTP instead of TCP? My understanding is SCTP was 
supposed to be a solution for multi-homing.

Additionally (I don't know if you followed the whole discussion in this 
thread), a number of people have expressed interest in supporting 
multi-homing over UDP too. This would also benefit from allowing 
multiple IP addresses per MG/MGC, but a few clarification in the 
procedures would be required. Would you be willing to consider adding 
this additional functionality?

Regards,

Adrian

Tom,

I don't quite understand, can you elaborate on this statement? I was 
trying to make the point that, for multi-homing, we could allow 2 or 
more IP addresses per MG and/or MGC, which would make it simpler to 
establish for example one SCTP association using all of them.

Initially, Fernando said that 1 MEGACO control association = 1 IP 
address, and implied that 2 IP addresses would be viewed as 2 distinct 
MGCs. But in this case:
- explaining which MGC pairs with which other MGC as multi-homed 
entities is more difficult,
- plus, if an SCTP association uses more than 1 IP address (which it 
should, in order to take advantage of multi-homing), then it would mean 
that 1 control association spans 2 MGCs, which seems to contradict the 
model. Handoff and failover wouldn't work in this case, because MEGACO 
does not control the selection of the IP addresses withing the SCTP layer.

Therefore, what do you think about the number of IP addresses per 
MG/MGC? If SCTP is allowed to use only one IP address per entity, then 
why would one ever use SCTP instead of TCP? My understanding is SCTP was 
supposed to be a solution for multi-homing.

Additionally (I don't know if you followed the whole discussion in this 
thread), a number of people have expressed interest in supporting 
multi-homing over UDP too. This would also benefit from allowing 
multiple IP addresses per MG/MGC, but a few clarification in the 
procedures would be required. Would you be willing to consider adding 
this additional functionality?

Regards,

Adrian

The topics I've been able to gleen from the email exchanges are:
1. How to distinguish redundant entities from multiple interfaces
(multihoming) on a single entity.

2. Issues regarding item #1 with respect to SCTP, which one would expect to
use with multiple IP addresses (to a single entity) for link redundancy.

3. Issues regarding item #1 with respect to UDP, which would allow similar
advantages to that of SCTP at the expense of some Megaco transport
complexity.

4. MGC-to-MG communication via a DNS domain name that yields multiple IP
addresses is not specified in Megaco.

I'm sure there were more topics...

It's interesting to note regarding items #1 & #4 that SIP, MGCP, and soon
H.323 (Annex O) have dealt with this problem.

SIP and soon H.323 use DNS SRV records to specify redundant entities, and
multiple IP addresses in an A or AAAA record to define multiple interfaces
on the same entity.  

MGCP uses multiple IP addresses in an A or AAAA record to indicate multiple
interfaces on the same "logical" entity.  Redundancy/fail-over is handled by
two different schemes that are linked to the specifics of MGCP. 

It seems to me that this problem should be solved consistently across these
(and many other) protocols and Megaco.  The SIP/H.323 direction seems to
make sense, providing for both redundant and multihome support in a
consistent and general way.

The topics I've been able to gleen from the email exchanges are:
1. How to distinguish redundant entities from multiple interfaces
(multihoming) on a single entity.

2. Issues regarding item #1 with respect to SCTP, which one would expect to
use with multiple IP addresses (to a single entity) for link redundancy.

3. Issues regarding item #1 with respect to UDP, which would allow similar
advantages to that of SCTP at the expense of some Megaco transport
complexity.

4. MGC-to-MG communication via a DNS domain name that yields multiple IP
addresses is not specified in Megaco.

I'm sure there were more topics...

It's interesting to note regarding items #1 & #4 that SIP, MGCP, and soon
H.323 (Annex O) have dealt with this problem.

SIP and soon H.323 use DNS SRV records to specify redundant entities, and
multiple IP addresses in an A or AAAA record to define multiple interfaces
on the same entity.  

MGCP uses multiple IP addresses in an A or AAAA record to indicate multiple
interfaces on the same "logical" entity.  Redundancy/fail-over is handled by
two different schemes that are linked to the specifics of MGCP. 

It seems to me that this problem should be solved consistently across these
(and many other) protocols and Megaco.  The SIP/H.323 direction seems to
make sense, providing for both redundant and multihome support in a
consistent and general way.

Ok, I'll work a bit harder.

First point:  I'd say the control association is uniquely identified by the mId of 
each peer, but is associated with transport (and much other) state.  I've always 
thought of the mId part of the message as an identifier, not necessarily tied to an 
address, even if that is what the syntax suggests.  The syntax also allows an mId 
which is simply a NAME.  Hence I do not believe the protocol as it stands identifies 
a control association with a network address.

This means it is quite feasible to associate a control association with multiple 
addresses at either end.  The protocol has a way to allow you to express additional 
information of this sort if you need to pass it at the application level: you 
provide it as properties defined in a package.

Second point:  pre-start-up is by definition outside the scope of the protocol, 
since the protocol has yet to operate.  The SRV record approach used by SIP is only 
one alternative of a number that SIP offers.  All we can standardize (as we have 
already done) is that an initial condition for the operation of the protocol is that 
the MG knows what TRANSPORT (not NETWORK) address it should use to reach the MGC. 
How it determines that transport address is up to the implementation.

For SCTP the initial transport address used is that of the initial primary path. 
That doesn't prevent the use of multihoming; the peers supply the alternative 
addresses as part of the SCTP protocol exchange, and there is no need for Megaco to 
account for them explicitly.  If you want to use UDP instead of SCTP, you have to 
agree on a similar exchange of information.  I've already pointed out above how this 
could be done, by setting and reading of ROOT properties on the MG.

For SCTP the initial transport address used is that of the initial primary path. 
That doesn't prevent the use of multihoming; the peers supply the alternative 
addresses as part of the SCTP protocol exchange, and there is no need for Megaco to 
account for them explicitly.  If you want to use UDP instead of SCTP, you have to 
agree on a similar exchange of information.  I've already pointed out above how this 
could be done, by setting and reading of ROOT properties on the MG.

[CHG] Regardless of the number of the Study Group we could be dealing with I
think that we can safely assume that the ITUs work on H.248 will continue.

[CHG] No disagreement. The list is a valuable for discussion.

[CHG] I think the issue is that H.248 material the ITU is working on is
available to the members of the list. I do not think it matters whether its in a
IETF-draft format. This conversion can sometimes be an onerous editing exercise
that does little to technically advance the work. Most of the work is available
at the pictel website. At rapportuers meetings all the documents are publically
available. There was some discussion about making approved H.248 recommendation
available as RFCs, I can't remember whether this was formally agreed by the ITU
TSB (something to check).
A side issue is the review process. I firmly support that a document should
undergo one organisations formal approval procedures (let me explain before you
flame!). A document should be viewed and commented on by people from both the
ITU and IETF. I believe today we have this arrangement as people can comment on
the list and this in considered in the ITU. So if people decide to submit a work
item in a particular organisation then it should be approved according that
organisation rules taken into account comments from the other organisation.

Having said that I think we have to recognise that quite a number of people
follow both the ITU and IETF, we should get away from the mentality of throwing
things over the fence.

[CHG] If someone brings the work to the IETF then the opinion of the list should
be taken into account. There should be some mechanism to prevent weird and wacky
(couldn't think over other words) packages or packages that duplicate existing
functionality from gaining psydo approval. We have the private package ID range
for those sorts of things.

IETF-draft format. This conversion can sometimes be an onerous editing exercise
that does little to technically advance the work. Most of the work is available

follow both the ITU and IETF, we should get away from the mentality of throwing
things over the fence.

[CHG] If someone brings the work to the IETF then the opinion of the list should
be taken into account. There should be some mechanism to prevent weird and wacky
(couldn't think over other words) packages or packages that duplicate existing
functionality from gaining psydo approval. We have the private package ID range
for those sorts of things.

Indeed, I need to qualify: When I say "IP address", it's just a 
shorthand for "IP address + TCP/UDP/SCTP port", which is a transport 
address. So we are not really talking about network addresses.

But this approach has one big disadvantage: If the interface 
corresponding to the initial transport address is down, you don't get to 
find out about additional alternative addresses in subsequent protocol 
exchanges. This substantially diminishes the usefulness of multi-homing 
for redundancy.

This problem could be avoided by allowing an MG/MGC to be provisioned 
with 2 or more transport addresses for the remote peer (and having the 
MG use them from the beginning, e.g. for the SCTP INIT). But people tend 
to think that the main spec does not allow more than one transport 
address (for example, the MEGACO MIB only specifies one per MG/MGC). So 
how should it be?

Indeed, I need to qualify: When I say "IP address", it's just a 
shorthand for "IP address + TCP/UDP/SCTP port", which is a transport 
address. So we are not really talking about network addresses.

But this approach has one big disadvantage: If the interface 
corresponding to the initial transport address is down, you don't get to 
find out about additional alternative addresses in subsequent protocol 
exchanges. This substantially diminishes the usefulness of multi-homing 
for redundancy.

This problem could be avoided by allowing an MG/MGC to be provisioned 
with 2 or more transport addresses for the remote peer (and having the 
MG use them from the beginning, e.g. for the SCTP INIT). But people tend 
to think that the main spec does not allow more than one transport 
address (for example, the MEGACO MIB only specifies one per MG/MGC). So 
how should it be?

Hi,

Current CAS packages draft found at
ftp://standard.pictel.com/avc-site/0302_San/AVD-2315.zip
does not seem to have any suspend/resume related events/signals.
As a reference such processing is defined in MGCP in RFC 3064 CAS packages.

Could the CAS draft authors add appropriate events, signals and procedures
to current draft?

Thanks
	Aleks

Hi,

Current CAS packages draft found at
ftp://standard.pictel.com/avc-site/0302_San/AVD-2315.zip
does not seem to have any suspend/resume related events/signals.
As a reference such processing is defined in MGCP in RFC 3064 CAS packages.

Could the CAS draft authors add appropriate events, signals and procedures
to current draft?

Thanks
	Aleks

OK, that's consistent with the Q.699 diagram.  What it says is that in the 
CAS-to-ISUP direction, suspend is initiated by receipt of a Clearback signal, resume 
by a new Answer signal.  I see nothing that needs to be standardized at the Megaco 
level for this one.  It's not so clear what happens in the opposite direction, and 
maybe that's the source of your difficulty.

OK, that's consistent with the Q.699 diagram.  What it says is that in the 
CAS-to-ISUP direction, suspend is initiated by receipt of a Clearback signal, resume 
by a new Answer signal.  I see nothing that needs to be standardized at the Megaco 
level for this one.  It's not so clear what happens in the opposite direction, and 
maybe that's the source of your difficulty.

Found the complete answer in Q.695.  Suspend <-> Clearback and Resume <-> 
(re)Answer.  This doesn't seem to require anything new in the package documentation 
so long as Clearback and Answer signals and events have been defined.

Found the complete answer in Q.695.  Suspend <-> Clearback and Resume <-> 
(re)Answer.  This doesn't seem to require anything new in the package documentation 
so long as Clearback and Answer signals and events have been defined.

As there is no CAS "suspend" or "resume" the issue becomes whether
or not the MG must understand a call state of "suspended" to make
it possible to provide the intended functionality.  Since the
timing required in processing the suspend/resume is in the order 
of tens of seconds I'd say not.

That seems right: the MGC should be responsible for managing ISUP Timer T6.  And 
BTW, the reference I found was Q.696, not Q.695.

Just to summarize in terms of Aleksandr's original point: if you're talking an 
analogue line working into ISUP, you're talking on-hook/off-hook events as in Annex 
E.  If you're talking CAS signalling, you use the CAS packages to detect or signal 
Clearback and Answer.  In either case the MGC is responsible for the interworking 
and the applicable standard is Q.696 rather than the CAS package documentation.

Yes, now it makes sense.
Although a call flow example would be nice, that is to be added to the
package spec which show that it will be Answer event.

As a side note, all call flow examples in the draft stop after call is 
answered,
IMO it would be cleaner is they continue with termination.

Thanks.

Yes, now it makes sense.
Although a call flow example would be nice, that is to be added to the
package spec which show that it will be Answer event.

As a side note, all call flow examples in the draft stop after call is 
answered,
IMO it would be cleaner is they continue with termination.

Thanks.
