[AVTCORE] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-perkins-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers-00.txt

[Colin Perkins <[e-mail]>]

Here's our initial attempt at a "circuit breakers" draft for RTCWeb. Comments welcome - this is very much a straw-man for discussion, rather than a final solution.

>   The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is widely used for telephony,
>   video conferencing, and telepresence applications.  These
>   applications are often used over best-effort UDP/IP networks.  If
>   congestion control is not implemented then network congestion will
>   deteriorate the user's multimedia experience.  This document does not
>   propose a congestion control algorithm.  Instead, it specifies a
>   minimal set of "circuit-breakers".  Circuit-breakers are conditions
>   under which an RTP flow should cease to transmit media to protect the
>   network from excessive congestion.  It is expected that all RTP
>   applications running on best-effort networks will be able to run
>   without triggering these circuit breakers in normal operation.
