Re: ason-req and call segments

[Sergio.Belotti@alcatel.it]

Hi Dimitri,
just a doubt in the second section releate to caller interacion. I guess
the sentence should be :
""The initiating caller interacts with the called party by means of
    one or more intermediate network call controllers ...

folks, during the ccamp wg meeting discussions on ason-req,
a remark has been made asking for clarifications on "call
segments", this is the proposed text:

"4.3 Support for Call Segments

    As described in [ITU-T G.8080], call segmentation may be applied
    when a call crosses several administrative domains. As such, an end-
    to-end call may consist of multiple call segments, when the call
    traverses multiple administrative domains. For a given end-to-end
    call, each call segment can have one or more associated connections
    and the number of connections associated with each call segment may
    be different.

    The initiating caller interacts with the called party by means of
    one or more intermediate call controllers located at administrative
    domain boundaries (i.e., inter-domain reference points) and at the
    user-network reference points. Call segment capabilities are defined
    by the policies associated at these reference points.

    This capability allows for independent (policy based) choices of
    signaling, concatenation, data plane protection and control plane
    driven recovery paradigms in different administrative domains."

hope it addresses everyone concerns;
thanks,
