Thanks, I then understand the use-case you're envisioning. I think it could work under certain conditions, but as soon as there are repair flows, enhancement layers or simulcast involved, there is a need anyway to somehow signal what each SSRC represents. Then it is another question if it happens via SDP or via RTP header extensions or some other means. There was a discussion at the Stockholm rtcweb interim on what topologies that would be supported, but I fail to remember if this case was included or excluded. It also seems to me that people have quite different views in the discussion. One view seems to be that SDP exchanges should be used even for things like pause/resume, resolution changes, another that we should avoid SDP exchanges even when people join/leave a conference. > > Does this make sense? > Emil >
