One new concern in this context is maintaining the consent freshness. The browser needs to be sure that the recipient of traffic is stil responding in a way that can't be forged. It's likely RTCP provides this (though we'd need to analyze to be sure) but perhaps better would be to mandate STUN checks at enough frequency that you get some sort of level of freshness.... maybe every 2 minutes or something. -Ekr On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 9:14 AM, Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> wrote: > On 09/14/11 15:07, Christer Holmberg wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >>>> |Sure, but there is still a max time between the keep-alives. >>> >>> You are free to set it to a very long duration that disables >>> keepalives for all practical purposes (assuming such duration >>> is represented by a 32-bit unsigned integer you can set it to >>> ~136 years). >> >> Yes, but at the end of the day something has to be sent in order to keep >> the NAT binding open. >> >>>> |Using e.g. RTP, the media handler would not have to be prepared to >>>> |receive the STUN keep-alives in the first place, it could >>>> |simply just >>>> |relay whatever comes on the media plane. >>> >>> If the media handles can handle STUN binding requests >>> efficiently I don't see why they can't handle STUN binding >>> indications (keepalives) in a similar manner. >> >> I believe it knows when to expect those.
