You can view this as a variant of > (1)+(3) below. There's a lot of complexity in that case. In a situation where the offerer can predict what partitions might be desired, you could use hierarchical bundling. E.g., in the solution proposed in http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mmusic/current/msg10516.html, the audio m= lines were put into one bundle and the video m= lines were put into another bundle, and then the two bundles were put into one large bundle. That allows the answerer to use one transport association for all media, or two transport associations (one for each media type) so that they can have different QoS. In CLUE situations, this might not work well, because the real grouping is based on physical origin of the traffic, and one end can't guess the physical configuration of the other end. Another approach would be to have the grouping that marks the bundle to be independent of which application-level flows are grouped with which. So one a=group:BUNDLE attribute just marks a bunch of m= lines as being available for bundling, and each end provides the address/ports for each m= line, which imply which m= lines are bundled together. That leads to the possibility that the bundling could be *different* at each end of the connection. E.g., at UA1, m= lines 1 and 2 could use one port and m= lines 3 and 4 could use another port, while at UA2, m= lines 1 and 3 use the same port and m= lines 2 and 4 use the same port. That isn't as insane as it sounds, if UA1 controls two cameras at different addresses, each of which generates an audio and a video stream, whereas UA2 controls an audio system (at one address) and a video display (at another address). The multiplexing and demultiplexing works OK, but getting UA1 and UA2 to coordinate everything is messy. Thinking about these possibilities, it seems like Paul's proposal is the simplest: > Conceptually this isn't complex.

Of course, that does require that the bundling proposed in a later offer doesn't have to closely match the bundling proposed in an earlier offer in the O/A sequence. That depends on the rules we write regarding dependencies between successive offers/answers in an O/A sequence, which we haven't written. But at this point, I think that those rules will be extremely loose, not because that's the conceptually clean solution but because it would be difficult to write strict rules that could be implemented reliably.
