[MMUSIC] bundle-11: BUNDLE accpeted, but RTCP Mux rejected

["Stach, Thomas" <[e-mail]>]

Christer, Cullen, Harald, all

BUNDLE can be used separate from RFC5761 RTCP-Multiplexing.
I can't find text in bundle-11 where the answerer would send its RTCP packets if it accepted BUNDLE, but rejected RTCP-muxing.
I see two options:
1. The answerer sends all RTCP packets to the shared RTP-port+1 of the negotiated shared address.
2. The answerer sends the RTCP packets to separate ports based on the unique addresses in the m-lines of the offer?

The offerer on the other hand will only receive a shared address. I assume it then has to send all its RTCP packets
to the shared RTP-port+1 of the answerer.

Is my understanding correct or am I completely off-track?

Supposed I'm correct, then independent from the response, I'm asking if there really is a use case for that.
In case 1, one would have to demux the RTP streams and RTCP streams from two separate ports instead of a single port. How much implementation effort is saved in that case?
In case 2 the RTCP handling at offerer and answerer is completely different. In addition, you still need "a lot" of RTCP ports and take advantage of only half of the BUNDLE benefits.
