Hi,

Just to clarify: you would still use the a=rtcp-mux attribute, right?

It is e.g. needed to inform intermediaries (that may not understand BUNDLE) about the usage of RTCP mux.

According to section 4 in RFC 5761, if you multiplex RTP and RTCP on the same port, you need to assign dedicated PT values to the RTCP packets, which means that at least PT values 64-95 cannot be used for RTP.

As you have been one of those talking about the risk of running out of PT values, I just want to make sure you have taken this into consideration :)


Yes. The upside of rtcp-mux far outweighs this minor limitation.
