[apps-discuss] A draft about delay limits for real-time services

["Jose Saldana" <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,
 
We have submitted this draft:
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-suznjevic-dispatch-delay-limits/>
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-suznjevic-dispatch-delay-limits/ 
 
It surveys a set of recommendations about the maximum latency tolerated by
the users of services with delay constraints. Some recommendations already
exist for e.g. VoIP, but emerging services as e.g. online gaming, have
different requirements.
 
Different papers in the literature reporting these constraints are surveyed,
and a summary of the latency limits for each service is provided.
 
The draft has been adapted from a more specific one, which was submitted
some time ago to the Transport Area WG (
<http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-tcmtf/>
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-tcmtf/). The
current version is more general, and not specific for the case of traffic
optimization with multiplexing.
 
We have first submitted it to the Dispatch WG, and the advice we have
received is that we could ask in appsawg. The proposal does not aim to
propose any new WG, and it is related to real-time applications as e.g. VoIP
or online games. As said in the charter, "The Applications Area sometimes
receives proposals for the development of specifications dealing with
application-related topics that are not in scope for an existing working
group and do not justify the formation of a new working group."
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Jose Saldana & Mirko Suznjevic
