Dan, Thanks. I was mainly thinking of NAT keepalive, but going through e.g. an IP-PBX or other RTP handling middlebox requires either an end-to-end keep-alive mechanism, or that also the middlebox implements a keepalive mthod on its RTP sessions. Another issue: draft-ietf-avt-app-rtp-keepalive-01 has a reference to draft-ietf-avt-rtp-no-op. That draft has expired and disappeared from IETF, so if that is the intention, it needs also to be deleted from the keepalive draft.

Yes, that is my opinion, when the application lacks its own keepalive mechanism. > So far we have sent the non-displayable text Unicode character BOM as > keepalive for RFC 4103. There are other payload-specific keepalives which work well, too -- for example, G.729 has its own silence packet. But, if there isn't one at all, a STUN packet seems to cause the least harm. RTP packets with different SSRCs cause problems (as described by others); RTP packets re-sent (with same sequence numbers and timestamps) look like duplicated packets (because they are) and thus can be interpreted as re-transmissions (for example, retransmissions caused by Ethernet collision detection). > It has the slight drawback that loss > of a series of > keep-alive transmissions can be falsely be detected as loss of text > and disturb the received text.

Keeping alive the remote application (the remote RTP receiver), and, thus, keeping alive _all_ intermediate nodes (SBCs, etc.), is a different but related problem. If you want end-to-end keepalives, I agree that you do not want STUN. -d > Gunnar > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Wing [mailto:dwing@cisco.com] > > > From: Gunnar Hellström [mailto:gunnar.hellstrom@omnitor.se] > > > > Colin, > > Yes, I realize that the RTCP method is good, if the other party > > supports RTCP multiplexing.
