Hi,

"BUNDLE currently mandates the usage of both the SDP rtcp-mux and rtcp attributes. I remember we had discussions about that, but I don’t remember the justification at the moment."

[BA] The justification was that an implementation interested in multiplexing A/V would almost certainly also want to multiplex RTP and RTCP, because the motivation for both is minimizing port usage.

[Christer] So, again, the idea is to use a=rtcp to indicate the *same* port as a=rtcp-mux indicates, and hope that the receiver supports at least either a=rtcp or a=rtcp-mux?

Regards,

Christer

Hi,

Before I comment on your proposal, let’s take a few steps back (maybe it can even solve your issue).

BUNDLE currently mandates the usage of both the SDP rtcp-mux and rtcp attributes. I remember we had discussions about that, but I don’t remember the justification at the moment. But, I wonder whether that text is from before we made a decision that, unless both endpoints support BUNDLE, no endpoint will use a single address:port.

So, the question is: do we really need the SDP rtcp attribute?

Regards,

Christer

Subject: BUNDLE with implicit rtcp-mux

In my JSEP preso during the RTCWEB session last Wednesday, I discussed adding a new BUNDLE policy to JSEP. This policy, which would be called something like “force-bundle”, would force the use of the same ports for BUNDLEd m-sections, as well as RTCP mux. When one knows a priori that the other side supports BUNDLE, this would reduce candidate gathering even over the currently defined “max-bundle” policy, since there would be no need to gather RTCP ports at all, and also avoid the need for the BUNDLE fixup offer (where the ports are updated to be the same for all BUNDLEd m-sections).
To explain the differences here, here are some example offers for an audio+video call:
Default bundle policy - separate ports for audio, video, RTP and RTCP:
m=audio 10000
a=rtcp:10001
a=rtcp-mux
m=video 11000
a=rtcp:11001
a=rtcp-mux
Existing "max-bundle" policy - video port is 0 because bundle-only, but both RTP and RTCP ports allocated for audio:
m=audio 10000
a=rtcp:10001
a=rtcp-mux
m=video 0
a=bundle-only
a=rtcp-mux
The new “force-bundle” policy - only a single set of ports allocated - audio, video, RTP, RTCP share the same port.
m=audio 10000
a=rtcp:10000
a=rtcp-mux
m=video 10000
a=rtcp:10000
a=rtcp-mux
During the discussion, the ability to avoid RTCP port gathering was seen as valuable, but not the ability to avoid the fixup offer. However, after thinking about it a bit, I don’t think that there is a viable solution that avoids RTCP port gathering that *doesn’t* use a single set of ports. The only other option would be to do something like this:
m=audio 10000
a=rtcp:10000 # same as m=audio port
a=rtcp-mux
m=video 0
a=bundle-only
a=rtcp-mux
but this will almost surely will result in a malfunction when talking to a non-rtcp-mux client, due to the same port being used for RTP and RTCP, and still requires the fixup offer, and as such is net worse than the force-bundle approach indicated above.
So I think we the force-bundle approach is the one we want to minimize port gathering. The only question is whether we should keep max-bundle as well. To be specific, we need to decide between:
a) Keep max-bundle as it is (separate RTP and RTCP ports allocated), and add a new force-bundle policy that creates an offer with a single port shared between all m-sections (RTP and RTCP). max-bundle remains nominally backwards compatible with non-BUNDLE/non-rtcp-mux endpoints, in that it will still send a single audio stream. force-bundle is not backwards compatible with non-BUNDLE endpoints.
b) Add force-bundle, but get rid of max-bundle.
