A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control Working Group of the IETF. Title : A Message Bus for Local Coordination Author(s) : J. Ott, C. Perkins, D. Kutscher Filename : draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-01.txt Pages : 17 Date : 03-Jan-00 In a variety of conferencing scenarios, a local communication channel is desirable for conference-related information exchange between co- located but otherwise independent application entities, for example those taking part in application sessions that belong to the same conference. In loosely coupled conferences such a mechanism allows for coordination of applications entities to e.g. implement synchronization between media streams or to configure entities without user interaction. It can also be used to implement tightly coupled conferences enabling a conference controller to enforce conference wide control within a end system. The local Message Bus (Mbus) provides a means to achieve the necessary amount of coordination between co-located conferencing applications for virtually any type of conference as postulated in a a companion requirement document[11]. The Message Bus comprises two logically distinct parts: a message transport infrastructure and a set of common as well as protocol/ media/tool-specific messages along with a conference-specific addressing scheme. This document deals with message addressing, transport, and security issues and defines the message syntax for the Mbus. It does not define application oriented semantics and procedures for using the message bus. Application specific command sets and procedures for applications using the Mbus are expected to be defined in follow-up documents. This document is intended for discussion in the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control (MMUSIC) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working group's mailing list at confctrl@isi.edu and/or the authors.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mmusic-mbus-transport-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
