[bfcpbis] BFCPbis: UDP- and TCP candidates and proto value

[Christer Holmberg <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

An issue came up during the review of draft-sctp-sdp, which I believe also applies to BFCPbis.

Q1:

The document defines TCP/TLS/BFCP and UDP/TLS/BFCP. If ICE is used, and there can be both TCP- and UDP-based candidates, which value shall be used? Also, if there is a
candidate switch from TCP to UDP (or vice verse), is an updated offer required? Is it even possible to switch between candidates, since in the case of BCFP one uses DTLS and the other TLS (for RTP and SCTP DTLS is always used – also for TCP).
The same applies to UDP/BFCP and TCP/BFCP.

In the following pull request you can see how we suggest to address it in draft-sctp-sdp (look at the changes in the ICE Considerations sections):

Q2:

In case of TCP/TLS/BFCP and UDP/TLS/BFCP, if you have both UDP- and TCP-based candidates, it also means you are going to have both a TLS connection and an DTLS association. If the TLS roles (client/server) change etc, it will affect both the TLS connection and the DTLS association. I think this needs to be described in the draft, as it is not covered e.g. by referencing draft-dtls-sdp.
