Data framing and securing SRTP [RFC3550] is used for transport of all real-time media. The detailed considerations for usage of functions from RTP and SRTP, as well as for non-media real-time data, are given in <WORKING GROUP DRAFT "MEDIA TRANSPORTS">. into this section: 5. Data framing and securing The format for media transport is RTP [RFC3550]. Implementation of SRTP [RFC3711] is required for all implementations. The detailed considerations for usage of functions from RTP and SRTP are given in [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-rtp-usage]. Key negotiation for SRTP is described in <MISSING>. Transfer of data that is not in RTP format is described in <MISSING>. At the moment, draft-ietf-rtcweb-rtp-usage does not contain any requirement on SRTP usage (the security section says "A mandatory to implement media security solution will be required to be picked", which I think is a bit weak), and the discussion at the time did not seem to indicate consensus that SRTP must be used always, so I decided to document what we seemed to have consensus on - that SRTP MUST be implemented. If we have consensus to make it stronger again, I'm happy to change it back. Harald
