Re: [rtcweb] rtcweb-transports reference to TRAM discovery

[Justin Uberti <[e-mail]>]

The actual requirement (as indicated in S 3.3.5.1 of
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-use-cases-and-requirements-15#page-8)
is for an enterprise to be able to force the use of a enterprise-controlled
TURN server. Here, enterprise policy surely can allow for all traffic to be
forced through said TURN server, just as it can be done for HTTP/HTTPS
proxies today.

I agree that the ISP TURN server case is different, and merits additional
discussion. So while we can argue about exactly how autodiscovery should
work (e.g. .pac or
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tram-turn-server-discovery-00) we
should be able to agree on how things should work once a local TURN server
is found (i.e. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-schwartz-rtcweb-return-04
).

This would allow the above scenario to be satisfied when the TURN proxy
configuration is set through enterprise policy, and would be a substantial
improvement over the current state of affairs (e.g. where many enterprises
force all WebRTC traffic to TCP or through a HTTPS proxy)
