Re: [MMUSIC] FW: I-D Action: draft-schwarz-sdp-for-gw-01.txt

Thanks for support of this activity Thomas!
to filename: dependent on adoption by MMUSIC of this draft
to introductory text: the lenghty background was motivated by the fact that this draft doesn't originate in MMUSIC itself, hence we need to provide more description (than for the H.248 experts community in ITU-T).

Regards,
Albrecht

Hi Albrecht,

thanks for your attempt to register the codepoints in Clause 8 of your draft at IANA. I understand this is the main intention of this draft and a internet draft seems indeed required for that purpose.

Perhaps you should choose a filename containing "mmusic", e.g. "draft-schwarz-mmusic-sdp-for-gw" to direct new version notifications and discussions to the proper group. I understand a version 2 of the draft is now available.

I believe clauses 1 and 2 are rather long and could be shortened a bit. Is all the history essential and are all abbreviations and conventions really used within the draft?

Regards, Thomas

Hello Albrecht,

Thanks for submitting the draft. I support the addition of the extra <proto> codepoints for scenarios where a gateway performs application agnostic inter working. In general the background to H.248/Megaco usage of SDP is good but I'm not sure if the reasons for the new codepoints are documented sufficiently in the draft.

Some specific comments below:
Clause 1.4 Scope: I propose to word this slightly differently to indicate the scope is the collection of SDP codepoints for GCPs in order to identify additional ones that REQUIRE registration with IANA.

Clause 4: There appears to be some duplication in the headings, i.e. 4 and 4.5. Perhaps also "<proto> element" needs to be removed from the title of heading 4 as clause 4.4 covers the <type> element?

Clause 4.1 Purpose, Last Para: To me this is the reason for the entire draft. The draft has cataloged how SDP is used by GCPs(H.248/Megaco) however hasn't really gone into much depth on why the additional codepoints are needed. Perhaps a paragraph for each additional codepoint could be added indicating where it is used/needed?

Clause 4.4: I think the draft could indicate that H.248 uses the <attrtype> values as defined on the IANA registry and no additional IANA registrations are required.

Clause 5.1: I think it would be good to note that this has already been registered with IANA.

Clause 7.1: TCP/TLS is already registered. See RFC4572 clause 4. However I'm not sure that in the case of agnostic interworking that the MUST indicated in that clause (/An 'm' line that specifies 'TCP/TLS' MUST further qualify the protocol using a fmt identifier to indicate the application being run over TLS./) applies.

I've also noticed some other minor editorial issues that i'll forward to you off-line.

Regards, Christian
