<dd>Hi Folx,<br>
<br>

<dd>Just a follow-up to the draft posting.<br>
<br>

<dd>The main changes in this version are:
<dd>- Removed Carrier-Trunkgroup attribute and address family and
<dd>&nbsp;&nbsp; references to it.
<dd>- Added Terminology and Definitions section.
<dd>- Updated CallSuccess attribute.
<dd>- Added Prefix attribute.
<dd>- Added Carrier attribute.
<dd>- Added TrunkGroups attribute.
<dd>- Added TrunkGroup Address Family.
<dd>- Added Carrier Address Family.
<dd>- Added Route Consolidation section.
<dd>- Added some more references.<br>
<br>

<dd>A couple of open issues that come to mind are:
<dd>- International carrier ids
<dd>- Jonathan had a suggestion regarding having an update rate
capability that the LS would send 
<dd>to the gateway. The purpose would be to have the gateway not send
updates at a rate higher than the
<dd>specified number.<br>
<br>
