The IMTC held its 3rd SuperOp Event from September 12-17, 1999, at the Hotel Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii. This event marked the first TIPHON testing at SuperOp, where all IMTC activity groups came together. Key activities included CoIP conferencing over IP (H.323), networking services (H.320), and switched conferencing (H.324). Over 300 engineers from 98 companies participated, with 153 test teams involved in testing interoperability standards. Challenges were discussed, such as registration issues and standard interpretations. Upcoming events are planned for later in 1999 and early 2000.

SuperOp 1999 • IMTC held their 3rd SuperOp Event • 12.9. - 17.9.1999 • Hotel Hawaiin Village in Honolulu, Hawaii • first TIPHON testing at SuperOp
SuperOp versus InterOp • InterOp is when one activity Groups meets • SuperOp is when all the IMTC activity Groups meet • - CoIP Conferencing over IP (H.323) • - Interworking and Networking Services (H.320) • - Switched Conferencing (H.324) • - Data Conferencing (T.120) • - iNOW! (Interoperability Now) • + ETSI TIPHON • - Microsoft TAPI
SuperOp 99 Numbers • Attendees • 98 Companies • > 300 Engineers • 153 Test Teams • 106 Test Teams indicated to test H.323 Equipment using IMTC Spec. • 62 Test Teams indicated to test TIPHON Equipment • Space • 2500 m² ~ 250 000 sq ft
Organisation • Scheduling • - self organized • - using a public WEB-Based Calendar • - accessible from a private WEB-Site • - only very few companies subscribed for being scheduled by TIPHON organizer
Problems detected • Fast Connect • - early adoption phase • - different interpretations of the standard around • Registration with Gatekeepers (Alias, Prefix) • Keep Alive Messages • Dial number format for outgoing Setup to GW
How to solve problems ? • Encourage engineers to provide feedback • Make the standards less miss interpretable • Reduce the number of options by e.g. generating a TIPHON profile • Specify more parameters in tests specification
