How does the MSF relate to standards bodies such as the IETF and ITU?
The MSF works closely with a number of key IETF Working Groups using their preferred working method, which is the submission of Internet Drafts by MSF Individuals. With the ITU-T, MSF has established a formal liaison relationship or “communication process” which makes it straightforward for MSF documents to be brought to the attention of relevant ITU-T Study Groups. With IETF, MSF has worked closely on the extension and improvement of the General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP), which plays a key role in fulfilling the requirements of the Switch Control Interface in the MSF architecture. With ITU-T Study Group 16, MSF has been active in providing requirements from an MSF perspective on the H.248 protocol being co-developed by SG 16 and the IETF MEGACO Working Group. MSF is also developing a “profile” of this protocol and is co-sponsoring the first industry interoperability event for H.248.
