I found what Stefan said below to be interesting: On 5/11/13 8:20 AM, Stefan Håkansson LK wrote: > Absolutely. The API (as of now) is aligned towards sending media.

O/A works best when both sides have similar capabilities and desires. (It makes sense to set up to receive what I hope to receive, because it is likely that you will want to send that.) It works poorly when you and I might have a highly eclectic set of stuff we could send, and unpredictable interests for what we are interested in receiving. In clue we are addressing that by exchanging (in a separate channel) advertisements of what the endpoints are willing to send, and only doing O/A to set up the media that is of interest. In rtcweb it isn't so structured, but I suspect something is happening implicitly, though it may be more hard-wired per application. In clue we may still end up negotiating separate one-way streams in each direction, similar to what Stefan mentions below. With bundling there isn't a big penalty for that (e.g., in ports and RTCP traffic) though there is an extra O/A required. But for both RTCWEB and CLUE there are cases where we must negotiate bidirectional streams for compatibility with legacy devices. So there must be a way to do that. I don't have a specific action to recommend here. This just seems like a somewhat fundamental shift that out to be recognized. It probably isn't just RTCWEB and CLUE, it is really related to more complex communication scenarios. ISTM that CLUE is addressing this by building a layer on top of O/A, while RTCWEB is *battling* with O/A. Thanks, Paul
