Hi Jon, this is a message in regards to the DISCUSS the Transport independent SDP bandwidth parameter draft received in IESG Discussion. Below is the comments from the IESG and inline my reply. >DISCUSSES AND COMMENTS: >====================== >Steve Bellovin: > >Comment: > >There are many other things that can cause erroneous bandwidth estimates, >including various forms of tunneling (GRE, IPsec, 6to4) and link-layer >encapsulation -- should those be discussed here? > > There are many reasons for erroneous bandwidth estimates, and I think the draft presents some of them, but not all. The important thing is to establish that the problem space exist. Therefore I don't see a real need to discuss all of them. However as I have missed some of the stated ones, they should at least be mentioned. This could easily be fixed in an update. >Ted Hardie: > >Comment: >I found section 3.5 on the potential interaction with DCCP somewhat lacking. >It's clear that using >DCCP for real time media will be different in a number of ways from the >current flows over UDP, >and while it is good that the draft notes the likely difference in header >size, it hardly seems >like the most important thing to note.

But a >review by the DCCP >folk might imrpove this a good bit; it also might show the need for a >separate draft to discuss >the DCCP-specific interactions here. > > It is true that the section dates back a bit. However I don't think DCCP evolution really effects the draft at all. The reason is that the solution as defined does only require the one actually calculating the true transport dependent bandwidth to know how big the used DCCP headers are. And as this will depend on which options, etc. that are in use for each transaction. So in fact this is only one more reason to why the parameters are needed. As Ted states I it is in my opinion likely that some thought at least will be required by the implementer to estimate the DCCP headers size correctly. If I am anyway request to perform an update I could put some effort into improving the text in this chapter to be clearer what the problem with DCCP is, i.e. other fixed header size than UDP + variable size in option fields. It should also as pointed out mention the limitations that congestion control may apply on a media stream. However I think the important factor here is to understand that the attribute is a maximum that the application will use. >Bert Wijnen: > >Discuss: >From OPS Directorate review (Pekka) > >one potential issue I see is in the introductory section: > >2.2.

It is after all only one of many reasons for this mechanism. Jon, should I start working on a updated draft that address the above issues?
