Re: [rtcweb] JSEP: Issues with a=ssrc and RTP payload type switching

[Christer Holmberg <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Keep in mind that whatever changes we do in JSEP must be "compatible" with BUNDLE :)

However, BUNDLE currently doesn't mandate the usage of the SDP 'ssrc' attribute, but it does have the following rule on SSRC usage:

	o  A given SSRC MUST NOT transmit RTP packets using payload types
      	that originate from different bundled "m=" lines.

However, that doesn't seem to be related to the ongoing discussion.

Regards,

Christer

Yes, this is likely one of these things that the ones that considered the issues see as obvious, but is in fact not until you actually tried it and therefore could have benefited from a note about the need for having one PT configuration per timestamp rate used by the codecs that may use the CN.

As the RTP usage is in IESG review, I am hesitant to add such discussion into the RTP usage document. As it is really a configuration issue, I think it can be discussed in JSEP, but the audio draft might be an even better fit adding to the CN text.
