Re: [MMUSIC] Do we really need TCP/DTLS/SCTP proto field?

Hi,

I agree with Ben and Roman.

(Also, not too long ago we did discuss what is removed and what is kept in, and the draft reflects that discussion.)

Regards,

Christer

While it's the chairs' prerogative to judge consensus, it seems to me that the discussion has been somewhere between "we do need TCP/DTLS/SCTP" and "we might need it". Since the draft has already been approved by the IESG, we shouldn't make a material change unless we have a really good reason. I propose leaving it in.

As you have probably noticed I am strongly for leaving TCP/DTLS/SCTP in the draft, since things will break otherwise and draft will require substantial editing to recover.

Well, then we need to clarify the text (or remove the text completely, and simply refer to the ICE spec), because the ICE considerations section talks about offers and answers in general.

To be clear, are you talking about clarifying text in _this_ draft, or elsewhere?

Christer is talking about section 12.2 of the draft-ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp. As the language stands right now, it is not incorrect, but is slightly confusing, since it is talking about default candidates for all ICE related offer/answer exchanges.  After ICE nomination process is completed, there is only one candidate left, so there is no default. In session descriptions that describe the session after ICE nomination is complete only one candidate is present, so there is typically no confusion about what goes into the m= line, but this is not spelled out in the draft. I will submit the PR and Christer can merge and resubmit the draft when he is back.
