[SIPForum-techwg] Comment on section 16.3 (DTMF)

I think the final text you guys are talking about looks roughly like this:

"A SIP-PBX or SP-SSE MUST advertize support for RFC 4733 in its SDP on 
behalf of any Media Endpoint that supports receiving DTMF digits.

"Any Media Endpoint that supports the transport of DTMF tones MUST support 
the negotiation via an SDP offer/answer of the supported method used to 
transport the tones. The Media Endpoint MUST support the ability to use any 
dynamic RTP payload type when negotiating the use of RFC 4733.


"Any Media Endpoint that supports sending DTMF MUST use the RFC 4733 
procedures to transport DTMF tones using the RTP telephone-event payload 
format, provided that the other side has advertized support for receiving 
RFC 4733 in the offer/answer exchange."



Does this work for  people?



Thanks,



Spencer
