Can anyone explain me what does < > means ? 
Example:

class RegistrationRequestPDU : public RasPDU<H225_RegistrationRequest>
{
} ;

Is "RegistrationRequestPDU" inheriting from RasPDU, H225_RegistrationRequest 
or both ?

RegistrationRequestPDU  inherits from RasPDU using template H225_RegistrationRequest ?

RasPDU is a template.
If you look at its .h file you will see something like this:

template <class T> 
class RasPDU
{
  ...
};

In your case, "T" will be replaced (compiler) by H225_RegistrationRequest.
In my opinion, tamplates are the most powerful feature of C++.

Ok, but as I am C ANSI programmer it is a bit dificult to underestand.

Are you saying that "RasPDU" is a general class that depends on the template 
(in this case "H225_RegistrationRequest") that is informed ?

Is it similar to create a specific class like:

class RasPDU : public H225_RegistrationRequest
{
} ;

and inherit from it ?

class RegistrationRequestPDU : public RasPDU
{
} ;

   You better get a C++ book or tutorial, I can recommend you "The C++ 
Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup, 3rd Edition.
   With templates you can parameterize types used in C++ constructs like 
classes, structs or functions.

Templates are like a C macros, but templates provide a more elegant form
to do things that normally you could do with C macros, in some way.
For example:

template <class T>
struct MyStruct
{ int x, y;
  T* ptr; 
}

Now you could define vars in C++:
MyStruct<int> myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;
MyStruct<float> myVar2OfTypeMyStruct;

You could do almot the same in C:
#define MyStructType(T)  typedef struct { \
                             int x, y; \
                             T* ptr;    \         
                         } MyStruct_##T \

MyStruct(int);
MyStruct(float);

Now you could define vars in C like this:
MyStruct_int myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;
MyStruct_float myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;

A i said before is more elegant the C++ form!!!!!!!!!!!
