Re: [MMUSIC] [rtcweb] What goes into c= line address when FQDN is used for the default candidate?

[Roman Shpount <[e-mail]>]

In this case section 4.1 of ice-sip-sdp should be updated to allow FQDN in
connection-address and, perhaps specify that FWDN which return multiple
results should be ignored.

Would this work for everyone?
