Re: [clue] New Version Notification for draft-kyzivat-clue-telemedical-callflow-00.txt

["Roni Even" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Paul,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-westerlund-avtcore-rtp-simulcast-01
describes how to do simulcast without CLUE. Now if you also describe in CLUE
the encoding (which I am not sure is needed for this case) you should have
the SDP correlated with CLUE, this will require the offer answer after the
CLUE configuration like I proposed in previous email.
If the SDP description is there  you can switch with re-invite without CLUE
(you will need to re-invite to signal the port)

This is really into the "what goes where", which is a good discussion to
have!

I guess what you are describing means that there are two alternate encodings
available for this capture. They could map to two different m-lines in sdp.
But what would cause them both to be listed in the SDP?

This can work if the SDP is determined by the advertisement, and covers all
possible configurations that might be configured from that advertisement. So
then, if both are in an SDP offer that corresponds to that advertisement,
then the SDP answer can choose which of those to accept. That is in effect
doing a configuration, or part of it. For that to work, the advertisement
that explains what those mean would have to be sent before the SDP offer, so
that it would be available to make the decision about what to accept in the
answer.

And then if later there is a desire to switch to the other resolution, then
I guess an SDP offer would be sent in the other direction, changing which of
the two m-lines has a non-zero port.

It sounds like this can be made to work, though the devil is in the details.
It will require a lot of analysis of when advertisements must be sent
relative to offers. Based on above, an advertisement MAY/MUST? 
be followed by an offer. And apparently the offer must be sufficient for any
configuration of that advertisement. I'm worried that this may require the
offerer to consume more resources than are required for most configurations.

	Thanks,
	Paul
