The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Q.921-User Adaptation Layer (IUA) Protocol, described in RFC 4233, defines the message type of Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) Query Request messages as 5. However, this number is already being used by the Digital Private Network Signaling System (DPNSS)/Digital Access Signaling System 2 (DASS 2) Extensions (DUA) to the IUA Protocol described in RFC 4129. This document updates RFC 4233 such that the message type of TEI Query Request messages is 8. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

updates

Extracted elements (5)

design-rationale §1

The message type 5 originally assigned to TEI Query Request in RFC 4233 conflicts with the DLC Status message type 5 introduced by the DUA protocol (RFC 4129), making it impossible to differentiate the two messages. The type is therefore changed to 8.

interoperability-note §1

RFC 4233 and RFC 4129 assigned conflicting message type values (both using type 5) for TEI Query Request and DLC Status messages respectively. This document resolves the conflict by renumbering the TEI Query Request to type 8, updating RFC 4233.

normative-requirement §3 MUST

TEI Query Request messages MUST be encoded with a message type of 8 instead of 5 as previously described in RFC 4233.
