Hi Justin,

I understand the potential problems with legacy endpoints as described in A.2 of Christer’s draft, not just intermediaries (A.4) which I thought Dale was specifically commenting about. The constraints of legacy peers and intermediaries is obviously important to the overall solution, but orthogonal to how we signal the desired port in a new way (as a single attribute or using the grouping framework).

BTW, has anyone actually observed failures? I ask because I could not get products to fail (when simply offering the same ports) in my (limited) interop lab. SIPit 30 was on my campus last month, I wish I would have tested it there for more data points. I can try at SuperOp next month. Just checking if someone hit a real problem before starting this bundle party.

Cheers,
Mo

The point of the different ports is not just to make intermediaries happy, but to ensure that we're successful when talking to an endpoint who doesn't support BUNDLE. There are a litany of problems that have been identified when the same ports are used on the offerer side and the answerer is BUNDLE-unaware.

Hi Dale,

In your draft (and Richard's), I understand your motivation to answer with port 0 (or 9 or IP 0), to plug the nostrils of intermediaries that sniff ports so they don't smell anything fishy. I won't comment on whether they will react better to nostril-plugging than fishy smells, because I don't know, but that is orthogonal to what I'm describing here.

Your bundle alternatives (and Richard's) also work fine with a simple attribute without complex grouping semantics.

Offer to mux audio and video on the same port:
m=audio 10000 RTP/AVP 0
m=video 10002 RTP/AVP 31
a=port 10000
i=I really want 10000, but lied on the m-line for fear of confusing you. Confused yet?

Answer supports the port override attribute and agrees to mux audio and video:
m=audio 40000 RTP/AVP 0
m=video 0 RTP/AVP 31         <-- Dale's variant to answer with port 0
a=port 40000
...so audio and video ports are 10000<->40000.
Answer doesn't support the port override attribute, or doesn't want to mux:
m=audio 40000 RTP/AVP 0
m=video 40002 RTP/AVP 31
...so audio ports are 10000<->40000 and video ports are 10002<->40002.
Cheers,
Mo

It's messier than that, unfortunately.

One requirement is that after negotiation is completed, the negotiated
transport associations (as seen by a legacy intermediary) must match
the actual media flows.

Another requirement is that two media descriptions shouldn't use the
same port (because a lot of legacy SBCs can't handle that).  This
applies to offer/answer updates as well as original offers/answers.

So what we want is a way for a media description to say, "I'm
reporting port zero so SBCs think this MD is rejected, but I'm
actually using port 1234 (which is officially reported in another
MD)."

There are also situations where the we want to signal perferences as
to which media descriptions share ports with which other media
descriptions.

Dale
