Re: [dispatch] Rate control and codec adaption (Re: [RTW] The charter formerly know as RTC-WEB take 3)

My view: we are discussing a problem already solved! The common procedure would be to use info in the RTCP reports from the receiving end to change the transmitted bit rate (if change is required).

It is not clear to me how to avoid the codec adaptation mechanism fighting the rate control mechanism, without some guidance in the standard for developers.
Can you explain?
Changing the subject to content of thread....

are we reducing to a previously solved problem, or to a previously unsolved problem?
I don't see how this problem actually differs from the one that people will have when operating RTP under TFRC (draft-ietf-avt-tfrc-profile-10).

Thanks, Henry

Just because some codecs can adapt doesn't mean  rate adaptation/congestion control should be left out of the scope.  I  think it needs to be considered.

Codec selection does matter, but I am not convinced  that mandatory codecs need to be in the RFCs.  I believe market forces  are sufficient - SIP itself is one proof point.

How  does this fit with adaptive codecs?
Hint: codec selection matters, is  actually critical to this effort.
