Hi Henning & Kundan,

I have a query with regards to draft-singh-sip-h323-01.txt.

The draft states that the destination information from the H.323 call be
derived from the To URL in a new INVITE (see A.1.2). It seems that the
request-URI is ignored entirely (despite the fact that some of the call
flows are annotated with "INVITE sip:kns10@cs.columbia.edu").

I do not see how this will work when a SIP UA or proxy redirects (or proxies
with updating the request) call to a H.323 device. 

For example: 

INVITE sip:rfairlie@nuera.com SIP/2.0
To: "Robert Fairlie-Cuninghame" <sip:rfairlie@nuera.com>

is sent to the proxy at nuera.com which responds with a SIP/2.0 302 Temp
Moved
Contact: <sip:1000@h323-gatekeeper.nuera.com;maddr=h323-iwf.nuera.com>

How will this work if the IWF ignores the Request-URI ?

If the IWF instead uses the request URI in the H323 SETUP destinationInfo,
is there anythign wrong with it using the display name from the To? Unless a
380 Alternate Service is issued then the display name should still be
correct.

On a related note in the base SIP spec, if a 380 Alternate Service is issued
(which requires user interaction), the spec needs to be clarified whether
the new call attempt will use a new call-leg with the To field changed
apprpriately.

Cheers,

Robert.
