Brian, I am sorry I was not clear enough. My claim was Registration Request (REG REQ) cannot be sent from an SGP, therefore the value 0x2 indicating signalling gateway capability is meaningless, unless IPSP and SGP functions can be combined in one Signalling Process. Can an SGP act as an IPSP? Thank you Ilie On 12/19/05, Brian F. G.
