Future Collaboration Efforts from MM6 Additions to H.248 for a Version 2 We would like to encourage collaboration from various interested groups (IETF Megaco, ETSI Tiphon, SG11, SG9, etc) for creation of V2. We should send liaisons to identified groups. Note that H.248 is a so-called “gateway control protocol” which allows a Media Gateway Controller to control a Media Gateway.

Future Collaboration Efforts (cont) Package coordination A large number of organizations are standardizing packages. We should offer a service to attempt to limit overlap in functionality, validate architectures, and check for completeness. Q3 will plan to publish an Implementors Guide with accumulated information about defined packages and those in construction. Q3 has sent liaisons to identified organizations

Future Collaboration Efforts (cont) Interoperability and testing We need to support and promote interop test programs, possibly in other organizations (consider process of SG12) We need to coordinate with interop test programs to correct problems found.

Future Collaboration Efforts (cont) Interworking - we should undertake definition of interworking between various protocols: H.248-H.323, H.248-SIP H.323-SIP H.323-H.324
