[payload] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-lennox-payload-ulp-ssrc-mux-00.txt

Hi, all --

Discussions at previous IETFs pointed out to me that RFC 5109 (the RTP Generic FEC payload) forbids using it in SSRC-multiplexing, even though RFC 5576 (SSRC attributes/groups) defines a semantic to permit exactly that.

This document updates RFC 5109 to permit source-multiplexing of FEC streams with the payloads they protect, so long as the associations between the FEC and original SSRCs are properly signaled.  This not only fixes the inconsistency between RFC 5109 and RFC 5576, but also permits FEC's use with other mechanisms for associating SSRCs in an RTP session, such as BUNDLE or SRCNAME.

Comments are welcome.

> Abstract:
>   The Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) Payload format for Generic
>   Forward Error Correction (FEC), specified in RFC 5109, forbids
>   transmitting FEC repair flows as separate sources in the same RTP
>   session as the flows being repaired.  This document updates RFC 5109
>   to lift that restriction, as long as the association between original
>   and repair flows is properly signaled and negotiated.
