[MMUSIC] BUNDLE: SDP Offer Types

[Christer Holmberg <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

As we know, BUNDLE currently uses two main "types" of SDP Offers: one where each m- line in the BUNDLE group has a different port number value, and one where each m- line has the same port value.

Often we refer to these as "the first offer" resp. "the second offer".

Now, this works fine when we talk about the session establishment, but as we know a session can contain multiple additional offers, and with BUNDLE those can be of either type.

So, my question is whether we should come up with some better wording.

I'll throw the ball out with suggesting the following ones:


-          Bundle restart offer (different port value, currently referred to as "first offer")

The reason I use "restart" wording is because this is used, no matter whether in the beginning of the session or mid-session, to (re-)negotiate the usage of BUNDLE, and the bundle address information selection.



-          Bundle sync offer (identical port value, currently referred to as "second offer")

The reason I used "sync" wording is because this is used to ensure that intermediaries have correct address information for each m- line.

Keep in mind that we may even need to split the sync offer into more sub types, when we get into the details of adding new m- lines etc, but I'd like to agree a base to start from :)

Regards,

Christer
