RE: Interoperability Issues

Hi,

I experienced similar problems and posted this a while ago and I think it is
coming from a H323 protocol mismatch between version 2 and 4. I am not
really sure about this.

Bottom line: If you can hack into the code than be sure that you replace the
empty with a facility or the facility with an empty TerminalCapabilitySet
message to make it all happen.

I have found this in the ITU h323 manual as a change in the latest v4  h323
protocol and they mention that there are problems with backward
compatibility.

Unfortunately I am not a coder myself just a dumpanalyser so if you can
solve this issue than build it into the gnugk.

Subject:  Interoperability Issues


Hi there,
            I have been trying the GNUGK Proxy extensively the past days.
Hacking the code, I was able to establish a phone call from an unregistered
Endpoint to a GW that is inside another GK's zone. That way, my proxy works
only as a proxy (GW) and does not work as a GK.
Check out the graph:

Planet IP-Phone  <------> GNUGK "Hacked" Proxy <-----> MAX TNT GW

That way it worked ok for both fast start and non fast start procedures.

After that I tried replacing the Planet IP-Phone with a Cisco GW. That is
when
I had the following problem:
After the MAX TNT GW receives the "facility TerminalCapabilitySet" message,
it
responds with an "empty TerminalCapabilitySet" and after that sends a
"ReleaseComplete" message, with ternination cause value == 42 (Switching
Equipment Congestion).

Find attached the messages flows for the 2 cases mentioned above.
One thing that catched my attention was that for the IP-Phone, the first
"OpenLogicalChannel" message is sent by the MAX TNT Gw.
And for the other case, the Cisco GW is the first one to send an
"OpenLogicalChannel" message.

I am not an expert in the H323 protocol. So, if anyone could give me an idea
of what is going on here, I would really appreciate your help.

                thanks in advance,
                                            Pablo Salinas
