Per Gemini, The extended capabilities that are most relevant to fast start-to-early media scenarios in H.323 to SIP interworking are those that involve media streams beyond basic audio. Therefore, the correct answers are: B. BFCP C. VIDEO

Fast start-to-early media scenarios involve setting up media (audio and/or video) as early as possible in the call signaling process. Audio is mandatory for any call, and video is required if video capabilities are involved. Configuring these capabilities ensures seamless media negotiation between H.323 and SIP endpoints.

The question specifically ask what extended capabilities are required for fast start to early media scenarios. DTMF and Fax seem to be the correct answer due to rulling out Video and Audio as they are not considered Extended capabilities, BFCP is in fact extended capability as well however BFCP relates to content sharing and is not directly related to transport of audio, dtmf fax or other media streams required for h323 to SIP networking. Considering all the other comments all have different responses can we get some upvotes to validate???

Based on the information from the document, the two extended capabilities that must be configured on dial peers for fast start-to-early media scenarios in H.323 to SIP interworking are: DTMF AUDIO These are essential for ensuring proper media flow and signaling interworking between the H.323 and SIP protocols​(h323-to-sip).

Correct answers are A, E: The key point in this question is the requirement for "fast start-to-early media scenarios" in the context of H.323 to SIP interworking. Here's the reasoning: DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency): This is crucial for sending dial tones, which are essential in many VoIP signaling scenarios, especially when interworking between different protocols. AUDIO: Audio is fundamental for any call setup. Without configuring audio capabilities, media negotiation cannot proceed correctly. While BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) is important for scenarios involving conference control and content sharing, it is not typically required for basic media interworking scenarios like fast start-to-early media. So, the revised correct answers should be: A. DTMF E. AUDIO These are the primary capabilities needed to ensure proper media negotiation and interworking in fast start-to-early media scenarios.

Fast start-to-early media scenarios refer to situations where two endpoints establish media connections and begin transmitting audio or video before the call signaling is fully completed. This allows for a faster call setup time and improved user experience. When H.323 and SIP protocols are used together for interworking, extended capabilities must be configured on the dial peers to support fast start-to-early media scenarios. Two of these extended capabilities are: BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) AUDIO - This capability enables early media for audio streams, allowing audio to be transmitted even before the call is established. This allows users to hear ringback tones or announcements while waiting for the call to be connected. Therefore, options B (BFCP) and E (AUDIO) are the correct answers to this question. Options A (DTMF), C (VIDEO), and D (FAX) are not required for fast start-to-early media scenarios in H.323 to SIP interworking.

Is the answer then A and B because the other choices are not extended capabilities?

Everything I have read only references that it is a restriction to configure extended capabilities on dial peers for fast-start to early media. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/voice/cube/configuration/cube-book/h323-to-sip.html
