A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: H.323 URL scheme definition

	Pages		: 4

H.323 Specification [3] and H.225.0 [4] together define a system and a set of protocols for multimedia communications services over Packet Based Networks (PBN).   H.225.0 [4] messages define means for carrying any standard URL (Uniform Resource Locators) in order to specify source and destination, involved in the call. Starting from H.323v.4, H.323 URL is defined in order to specify H.323 party involved in the call. This H323-URL definition has a form of user@host where user corresponds to endpoint's alias and host corresponds to its domain/zone/gatekeeper (in terms of [3]).
The purpose of this document is to register the specified (and presented below) H.323 URL scheme within IANA. This will allow for improved resources use and integration over the Internet.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
