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

IMO we need to keep the MCF (media control framework) and the MCP (media control protocol) separate and as open as possible.

I think there are multiple use cases here.  One that comes to mind is PSTN / ISUP, etc.
In this scenario, RTP and SIP are not used for call control or media transport.  The AS will be managing the call control external to the MCF.  The AS will use the MCF and MCP to control the media server only.


My view is that the MCF should not be defined to handle call control signaling.  The MCF should be defined only for the transport of the MCP.

The AS's call control signaling and media transport negotiation should be out of scope for this workgroup.

|I missed that one. IMHO, the AS has no need nor right to know the RTP

|
|“REQ-MCP-11 - SIP/SDP SHALL be used to establish and modify RTP

|
|
|
|
|
|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
|
|

|
|“10.  The MS shall supply the media addresses (RTP transport address) to

|
|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.

|“REQ-MCP-11 - SIP/SDP SHALL be used to establish and modify RTP

|
|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.
