Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC): Media Transport and Use of RTP (-01)

Posted on in category rtcweb

We've updated our draft on RTP Requirements for RTC-Web, and renamed it to better reflect the content. Changes in this version include:

  • Update title, rewrite Abstract and Introduction, and restructure the draft
  • Update section on Rate Control and Media Adaptation
  • Update section on Security Considerations
  • Update section on Use of RTP: Core Protocols
  • Add some initial discussion of multiplexing several RTP sessions onto a single lower-layer transport, primarily referencing other drafts for the content.
  • Address comments by Harald Alvestrand from the mailing list (29 August 2011)
The main technical changes are in Section 8, and focus on the requirements for Rate Control and Media Adaptation, the limitations of RTCP when used for this purpose without RTP/AVPF, and interoperability with legacy systems. There are also smaller technical changes, and numerious editorial fixes, throughout.
