Hi Magnus,

In case of Browser - GW/Server use cases (Sec 3.4 of draft-ietf-rtcweb-use-cases-and-requirements-12), the end-to-end TCP connection is between browser & Gateway directly. Here, GW/server acts as RTP endpoint/mixer in the middle of the network and acts as "RTP relay" [Note 1] to the actual remote endpoint. TURN server (TCP to UDP relay) is becoming "second middle box" in case GW/server provider has to deploy TURN server as well. ICE-TCP solves the issue as it creates the host candidates from GW/Server.

As Justin indicated in PNTAW, TURN 3rd party authentication is not required in case of ICE-TCP from GW/Server.

Thanks
Partha

Note 1: I could not think of more appropriate IETF terminology.

Sorry, I don't understand what your use case is for ICE-TCP. When do you
need to establish an end-to-end TCP connection between two WebRTC
endpoints. I fail to see the motivation for this given that you are
going to establish a PeerConnection across it, with the purpose of
running STUN, RTP, DTLS-SRTP and DTLS/SCTP messages across it.

So please elaborate on why ICE-TCP with an framing for datagrams is not
just redundant from a functionality perspective with TURN/TCP or
TURN/TLS/TCP?

Cheers

Magnus Westerlund
