Sorry I left out one question.

The example in v12 Appendix A(?), step 24

MEGACO/1.0 [123.123.123.4]:55555
Transaction = 50009 {
                                        Context = 5000 {
                                        Subtract = A5555
{Audit{Statistics}},
                                        Subtract = A5556
{Audit(Statistics}} } }

From MG2 to MGC:
MEGACO/1.0 [125.125.125.111]:55555
Reply = 50009 {
               Context = 5000 {
                           Subtract {
                                               Statistics { ; what are
the stats for a TDM connection?

TDMPkg/OctetsSent=45123, TDMPkg/Duration=40 ; in seconds } },
                           Subtract {
                                                Statistics {

RTPPkg/PacketsSent=1245,  ...........,
                                                 RTPPkg/Jitter=27,
RTPPkg/AverageLatency=48 } } } }

Since commands are excuted in order, for this example, MGC has to keep
track of the order of the Subtract for each termination,
so when MGC gets the response for each Subtract without the termination
ID, MGC knows which statistics go with which
terminations.

Suppose MGC sends "Subtract = *" to MG and since the Text Encoding
allows TerminationID to be optional in the reply (above example),
how does MGC know which statistics go with which terminations?
Of course this is just an implementation issue.  Hopefully the MG will
be implemented to return terminationID for a wildcard
Subtract.

Why is terminationID in ammsReply optional in the first place?

v12, page 57, Binary Encoding Appendix:
-- The following code differs from the ABNF of Annex B, where the
-- terminationID is optional in case a terminationAudit is returned.

Can we just make the terminationID not optional so the Binary and Text
encoding are the same?
Or does it make any difference if Binary and Test encoding are not
exactly the same?

Thanks
Chuong
