Hi Christer,

I am satisfied with your response on this topic and am sure you create 
good wording.

Thanks,

Gunnar

>> Real-time text transport protocols have been defined for a number of technical environments for both packet switched and circuit switched networks.

Some of them are obsolete as their multimedia protocol base have become obsolete, while others are in use.

The considerations specified below for the interworking >case between WebRTC with T.140 data channels and legacy SIP with RFC 4103 based T.140 transport can be taken as examples of what to consider also for other interworking situations using gateways. The >considerations specified here are not to be seen as comprehensive, but rather as a brief description and a set of reminders. The detailed gateway procedures are out of scope of this document.
>>
>> 5.1 Channel establishment
>>
>> For each T140 data channel established on the WebRTC side of the gateway, an RFC 4103 RTP stream should be established on the legacy SIP side. Redundancy is by default declared and used on the RFC >4103 side to achieve reliability, while on the T.140 data channel side no redundancy and instead reliable channels are declared and used.
>>
>> 5.2 Transmission
>>
>> During normal flow of text, T140blocks received from one side are transmitted in the related session on the other side of the gateway.
>>
>> Keep-alive traffic is implicit on the T140 data channel side and not visible on the data channel transmission level, while some form of keep-alive traffic may need to be inserted and extracted by the gateway >on the RTP side according to the habits for RFC 4103 usage.
>>
>> It is advisable to use the same transmission interval on both sides of the gateway if possible, and by that be able to transmit as soon as data  is received, keeping the delay added by buffering in the gateway >low.
>>
>> If the RTP session contains more than one RTT stream in a multi-party call through a text mixer, a corresponding mechanism for establishment and transmission in multiple T140 data channels shall be used. >The "label" attribute on the T140 data channel side may be made to correspond to the Cname RTP field of the stream on the RFC 4103 side.
>>
>> If loss of data is detected or suspected after use of available redundancy on the RFC 4103 side, the gateway should insert the T.140 missing text marker [T140ad1].
>>
>> If a T140 data channel breaks while the session is maintained, a limited number of reconnection efforts should be made. If re-connection of the
>> T140 data channel is successful, then if text loss was detected after the reconnection, missing text marker should be inserted in the stream sent to the RTP side.
