to add to this: does the following mentioned in the draft....seem to make sense to anyone placing an ISD call somewhere::: International Segment (IS): To be coded according to ITU-T recommendation T.50. The International Segment (IS) field provides a 3 character ISO 3166 Geographic/Political Country Code. The country code is based on the three-character uppercase alphabetic ISO 3166 Country Code (e.g., USA, FRA).. The National Segment (NS) field consists of two sub-fields: the ITU Carrier Code followed by a Unique Access Point Code. The ITU Carrier Code is a code assigned to a network operator/service provider, maintained by the ITU-T Telecommunication Service Bureau in association with Recommendation M.1400. This code shall consist of 1-6 left- justified characters, alphabetic, or leading alphabetic with trailing numeric. The unique access point code is a matter for the organization to which the country code and ITU carrier code have been assigned, provided that uniqueness is guaranteed. This code shall consist of 6-11 characters, with trailing NULL, completing the 12-character National Segment are these parameters to be ignored? is ietf planning to redefine these parameters? and their values? to the writers: why is all this being mentioned under an "ASON" draft?? why not under a signalling draft? and the TLV and point 3 below still holds... ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce <bruce_reid202@hotmail.com> To: <ietf@ietf.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 2:05 AM Subject: queries:draft-aboulmagd-ccamp-crldp-ason-ext-02.txt > hello, > > > http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-aboulmagd-ccamp-crldp-ason-ext-02. > txt > > > > what is: > > 1: defination of a call (SIP WG exists in ietf, but this query is specific > to a "PCM" person's area.......) > 2: if its a generalised protocol limited to TLV based specs, why is it > limited to CRLDP? > 3. elaborating point 2, if one doesnt have a standard for signalling > protocol as of date, how does the signalling protocol even matter to the > this draft except for conflicts in number space...why cant one realise the > basic algorithm proposed in the draft > > > > -B > >
