Re: [MMUSIC] FW: [rtcweb] How to signal RTX SSRCs with simulcast

[Adam Roach <[e-mail]>]

Future-proofness.

Recall that the original design here was to give redundancy streams the 
same ID as the stream they're repairing, but there were objections that 
doing so would preclude using the mechanism to talk about redundancy 
streams in SDP if such a need ever arose in the future. So, we allow for 
signaling of these IDs in SDP, but (since as you correctly point out 
there are no concrete use cases at the moment) do not require it.

You seem to think this is a problem. Can you describe a scenario in 
which it causes interop issues or additional implementation complexity?
