What is the relationship between the CapabilityTableEntryNumber and the CapabilityDescriptorNumber in H.245? (Q77)

The information in this article applies to:

Descriptors, which are numbered, contain references to table entries via table-entry numbers, but there is no relationship between the two numbers. CapabilityDescriptorNumber is the "tag" for a descriptor; CapabilityTableEntryNumber is the "tag" for a table entry. For example, the following capability set indicates that this EP prefers to receive G.723.1 and H.263 but that it can also receive G.711 and H.263.

Entry # Capability
1 receive G.723.1 audio
3 receive H.263 video
2 receive G.711 audio
10 receive H.261 video
Descriptor # Capabilities
2 entry #1 and entry #3
5 entry #2 and entry #3
