Re: [bfcpbis] draft-ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis

[Paul Kyzivat <[e-mail]>]

ISTM the key question is whether changes should be made to the way bfcp 
over dtls is signaled and established/reestablished, in order to be 
consistent with what is going on with draft-ietf-mmusic-dtls-sdp.

We are in a transition period here. Till now every usage of dtls has 
been treated as a one-off. We are now trying to learn from all that and 
introduce some consistency. And that includes consistently handling some 
of the special cases that often haven't been handled well before, such 
as when re-establishment does/doesn't occur, and how re-establishment at 
different layers is handled.

Certainly there are issues of backward compatiblity with rfc4583 that 
constrain what is done. But ISTM it would be good to try to align these 
things going forward.

	Thanks,
	Paul
