                                    | Summary: | Recommendation ITU-T H.245 specifies syntax and semantics of terminal information messages as well as procedures to use them for in-band negotiation at the start of or during communication. The messages cover receiving and transmitting capabilities as well as mode preference from the receiving end, logical channel signalling, and Control & Indication. Acknowledged signalling procedures are specified to ensure reliable audiovisual and data communication.
Products claiming compliance with Version 17 of ITU-T H.245 shall comply with all of the mandatory requirements of this Recommendation. Version 17 products can be identified by ITU-T H.245 TerminalCapabilitySet messages containing a protocolIdentifier value of {ITU-T (0) recommendation (0) h (8) 245 version (0) 17}.
Relative to ITU-T H.245 Version 16 (2011), this version incorporates the following changes:
–	Add procedures in Annex V to support better interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 devices
–	Updated Table VIII.1 to support the revisions made to H.241
–	Support of an SCTP media transport in H.323 systems, including the addition of Annex U
–	Support of DTLS media transport in H.323 systems, including the addition of Annex U
–	Support of out of band data channel establishment for Annex U
–	Propose updates to H.245 to support SCTP: split dtls-sctp into udp-dtls-sctp and tcp-dtls-sctp
–	Add ExtendedAudioCapability and ExtendedDataCapability in H.245 | 
                                
                                    | Comment: | Not stale. This draft revised Recommendation is in a stable state and can be Consented as soon as the IETF references in them are resolved. |
