Re: [AVTCORE] I-D Action: draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers-03.txt

This is a relatively minor update, based on comments received during the last meeting. Changes include:

- In Section 4.3, reorder the text to be clearer that the sender is allowed to reduce it's sending rate by a factor of ten when the congestion circuit breaker fires, to see if this resolves the problem, before it has to cease transmission.

- In Section 4.2 and Section 4.3, add some text about sessions with a large enough number of media streams that the receivers has to generate round-robin RTCP reception reports.

- In Section 4.3, clarify what RTCP reporting interval is used to trigger the circuit breaker

- Add Section 7 on the Impact of RTCP Reporting Groups.

There are also some minor editorial fixes.
