[MMUSIC] Mod to draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis-40

[Christian Groves <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis-40 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis/> has 
been in state MISSREF for some time now. See below:

2014-02-11    draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis-40.txt [C214]
MISSREF*R(1G)
REF    draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers    NOT-RECEIVED
     draft-ietf-mmusic-rtsp-nat    IN-QUEUE

Working Group: Multiparty Multimedia Session Control

There is still a dependency on draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit breakers 
which is holding up an RFC number being assigned. My understanding is 
that it could be quite awhile before the circuit breakers draft is approved.

There's only one reference to the circuit breakers draft in C.1.6.3 
"Bit-rate adaption", i.e.
    To ensure that the implementation's adaptation mechanism has a well
    defined outer envelope, all implementations using a non-congestion
    controlled unicast transport protocol, like UDP, MUST implement
    Multimedia Congestion Control: Circuit Breakers for Unicast RTP
    Sessions [I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers].

I wondering if it would be possible to change this slightly so that the 
circuit breakers draft becomes informative whilst still keeping the 
congestion control requirement as a MUST? i.e.
"... all implementations using a non-congestion controlled unicast 
transport protocol, like UDP, MUST implement multimedia congestion 
control. For example: by utilising the mechanism defined by "Multimedia 
Congestion Control: Circuit Breakers for Unicast RTP Sessions 
[I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers]."

This would mean that RTSP2.0 could finally become an RFC.

Would this be possible?

Regards,
Christian
