Sure, you can control the offer/answer. My point was that it would be good if everyone had a common understanding on how the offer/answers will be controlled. But, of course, as long as the JS app and the network application is provided by the same provider, things would work. > But that wasn't my point... the discussion was around whether > the rtcweb system as a whole (browser or browser+JS) had to > be able to support media forking cases, or not.

I agree that we somehow need to support forking, meaning that we on the signalling level need to be able to handle multiple early dialogs. On the media plane, we also need to be able to switch from one remote media source to another, but the question is still whether the browser, and the PeerConnection API, needs to support *simultanous* media from multiple remote sources. > Obviously my employer would be better off if SBCs were > mandated for all SIP communications, but it's not right to > require them in an IETF spec/architecture.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by the browser being the SDP offer/answer engine. Just because we would use offer/answer between the browser and the JS app, it doesn't mean we have to support multiple dialogs on that interface. >As a side note, I'm not actually sure what would happen to >ICE processing with peers if the browser only has one media >state at a given time, and switches from Robert's SDP to >Bob's and back to Robert's.

ICE is one of the impacts that we would need to consider, because what might happen is that when you switch from one remote media source to another everything (ICE, media security etc) is lost. ...unless, of course, the gateway relays all media, and handles the switching between remote media sources.
