Re: [rtcweb] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-thomson-rtcweb-alpn-00.txt

If you propose to use ALPN for this, then "webrtc" and "c-webrtc" must 
be Application Level Protocols - presumably *different* protocols.

But what is the *protocol*? I don't see that mentioned in the draft at all.

IIUC it must be the multiplexing of STUN, SRTP, and SCTP over DTLS. 
(Maybe not STUN - maybe that is *below* or *beside* DTLS.) I see how it 
could make sense to use ALPN to verify that this is the intended use of 
the DTLS session. But that isn't even mentioned in the draft.

And, from a protocol perspective, what is the difference between webrtc 
and c-webrtc? AFAICT this is just two different usages of the same 
"protocol", not two different protocols.

	Thanks,
