Review is solicited - comments to the author (cc'd) or the TSVWG mailing list (this draft is targeted to become a work item of TSVWG, and eventually a Best Current Practice RFC, so it will affect future RTP standards). -- Colin Perkins http://csperkins.org/ _______________________________________________ Audio/Video Transport Working Group avt@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/avt
