Ali, It's OK for me. .. But ... I noticed that RECOMMENDED and SHOULD are considered equivalent as normative requirement RFC language. So, I would be surprised to learn that "SHOULD" requires a statement that explains why an exception can be made, and "RECOMMENDED" not.. Where is the logic here? I guess Keith will answer that.. Tom -----Original Message----- From: avt-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:avt-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Ali C. Begen (abegen) Sent: donderdag 17 juni 2010 23:54 To: Zeev Vax; Roni Even; Bill Ver Steeg (versteb); IETF AVT WG Subject: Re: [AVT] Open issue in the RAMS draft Is the following text acceptable? <new text> * Accept Responses: BRS MUST send at least one separate RAMS-I message with the appropriate response code for each primary multicast stream that has been requested by RTP_Rx and will be served by BRS. Such RAMS-I messages comprise fields that can be used to describe the individual unicast burst streams. When there is a RAMS-R request for multiple primary multicast streams, BRS MUST include all the individual RAMS-I messages corresponding to that RAMS-R request in the same compound RTCP packet if these messages fit in the same packet. The RAMS-I message carries the RTP sequence number of the first packet transmitted in the respective RTP stream to allow RTP_Rx to detect any missing initial packet(s). When BRS accepts a request for a primary multicast stream, this field MUST always be populated in the RAMS-I message(s) sent for this particular primary multicast stream. It is RECOMMENDED that BRS sends a RAMS-I message at the start of the burst so that RTP_Rx can quickly detect any missing initial packet(s). It is possible that the RAMS-I message for a primary multicast stream can get delayed or lost, and RTP_Rx can start receiving RTP packets before receiving a RAMS-I message. RTP_Rx MUST NOT make protocol dependencies on quickly receiving the initial RAMS-I message. For redundancy purposes, it is RECOMMENDED that BRS repeats the RAMS-I messages multiple times as long as it follows the RTCP timer rules defined in [RFC4585]. </new text> Keith, could you confirm whether this text is OK in terms of 2119 language?
