[MEDIACTRL] Requirements Comment

["Steve Buko" <[e-mail]>]

 

I have a general issue regarding our current set of requirements and
thought it might be a good idea to get a thread going on this prior to
our Thursday meeting.

 

draft-even-media-server-req-02.txt
<http://www.standardstrack.com/ietf/mediactrl/draft-even-media-server-re
q-02.txt>  states the following

"10.  The MS shall supply the media addresses (RTP transport address) to
be used to the AS"

 

draft-dolly-xcon-mediacntrlframe-03.txt
<http://www.standardstrack.com/ietf/mediactrl/draft-dolly-xcon-mediacntr
lframe-03.txt>  states the following

"REQ-MCP-11 - SIP/SDP SHALL be used to establish and modify RTP
connections to a Media Server"

 

 

In my view, we have two main problems to solve.

1)     define a media control framework that will be used to transmit a
given media control protocol.

2)    define a media control protocol used to control a media server.

 

I agree that the media control framework should use SIP/SDP to specify
the protocol / transport used to negotiation the TCP port and
transmit/receive the media control protocol.  

 

However, I would offer that the media control protocol defined by this
group should be ..

1)     call control signaling agnostic

2)    media transport agnostic

 

 

 

For this requirement ...

q-02.txt>  states the following

"10.  The MS shall supply the media addresses (RTP transport address) to
be used to the AS"

I don't understand why the AS would need the media addresses and would
like to think that the AS would like to control a media server that may
not be using RTP in all scenarios.

 

For this requirement ...

draft-dolly-xcon-mediacntrlframe-03.txt
<http://www.standardstrack.com/ietf/mediactrl/draft-dolly-xcon-mediacntr
lframe-03.txt>  states the following

"REQ-MCP-11 - SIP/SDP SHALL be used to establish and modify RTP
connections to a Media Server"

I agree that SIP/SDP should be used to establish/negotiate the TCP
port/address used for media control transport, however I don't think RTP
comes into play from a media control framework perspective.  

 

 

My high level comment is that we should not limit the use of our media
control protocol to media servers that only support SIP and RTP.
